On the number of zeros of analytic functions in a neighborhood of a Fuchsian singular point with real spectrum (Q1815214)

The authors consider the differential equation \(L(f)=0\), where \(L= a_0(t) \partial^n+ a_1(t)\partial^{n-1}+\dots +a_{n- 1}(t)\partial+a_n(t)\), assuming that \(f\) is analytic in some subset \(K\) of the complex plane, and \(U\) is an open domain that contains \(K\), and finally all the coefficients \(a_j(t)\) \((j=0,1,2,3,\dots, n-1)\), are analytic and bounded in \(U\). The authors find an upper bound for the number of isolated zeros of \(f(t)\) in \(K\) in terms of the magnitudes of the coefficients \(a_j(t)\) in \(U\).
