The method of Frobenius is a standard technique to construct series solutions of an ordinary linear differential equation around a regular singular point. In the classical case, when the roots of the indicial polynomial are separated by an integer, logarithmic solutions can be constructed by means of perturbation of a root. The method for a regular [Formula: see text]-hypergeometric system is a theme of the book by Saito, Sturmfels and Takayama. Whereas they perturbed a parameter vector to obtain logarithmic [Formula: see text]-hypergeometric series solutions, we adopt a different perturbation in this paper.

AbstractIt is shown that that an ordinary linear differential equation may possess a holomorphic solution in a neighbourhood of an irregular singular point even though the usual linearly independent solutions corresponding to the two roots of the indicial equation both have zero radius of convergence.

We investigate the [p,q]-order of growth of solutions of the following complex linear differential equation f(k)+Ak-1(z) f(k-1) + ...+ A1(z) f? + A0(z) f = 0, where Aj(z) are analytic in C? - {z0}, z0 ? C. Some estimations of [p,q]-order of growth of solutions of the equation are obtained, which is generalization of previous results from Fettouch-Hamouda.

SynopsisGiven an ordinary linear differential equation whose singularities are isolated, a solution is called multiplicative for a closed path C if, when continued analytically along C, it returns to its starting-point merely multiplied by a constant. This paper first classifies such paths into three types, then investigates combinations of two such paths, in which a number of qualitatively different situations can arise. A key result is also given relating to a three-path combination. There are applications to special functions and Floquet theory for periodic equations.
