Review text

The authors provide a generalization of a class of problems considered by \textit{F. Rothe} [Appl. Anal. 66, 227--245 (1997; Zbl 0886.34006)]. They prove the following main result: Let \(J:\mathbb{C}\to \mathbb{C}\) be analytic on a neighborhood of the origin, where \(J(z)= \sum^{\infty}_{k=0}p_{k}z^{k}\), and assume \(p_{0}\neq -1, -2,\dots\). Consider \[ zG(z)+J(z)G'(z)+F(G(z))=0 \] with the initial condition \(G(0)=G_{0}\), where \(G_{0}\) is an arbitrary element of \(\mathbb{C}\), and \(F\) is analytic in a neighborhood of \(G_{0}\). In the case in which \(p_{0}=0\), we impose the additional condition \(F(G_{0})=0\). Then, there exists an analytic solution to this initial value problem. In the case where \(p_{0}\) is a negative integer, a solution of the problem exists only when certain conditions on the coefficients of the series for \(J(z)\) and \(F(z)\) are accomplished, but then there is an infinite set of such solutions.
