The book is devoted to the solution of linear ordinary equations in the large, using methods developed by K. Okubo and M. Kohno. It emphasizes some of the most important problems in the field, as the derivation of monodromy groups, connection problems and Stokes phenomenon. Chapter 1 deals with basic properties of power series, asymptotic expansions and linear difference equations. Barnes integral, gamma and modified gamma functions are exposed in detail. Stokes phenomenon for the asymptotic expansion of the solution of a first-order equation is described. Chapter 2 is dedicated to Gauss and Airy equations and contains the basic aspects of a global study of linear differential equations in the complex domain. The theory of linear differential equations in the complex domain, including existence theorems and other fundamental results, is the subject of Chapter 3. The singularities are classified in regular and irregular, and the behaviour of local solutions in their neighbourhood is presented. Chapter 4 is devoted to the method of reduction of an \(n\)th-order Fuchsian equation to a hypergeometric system, or to a Birkhoff canonical system. The method is applied to several examples, using the software package REDUCE. On the basis of Okubo's results, in Chapter 5 the monodromy groups are obtained for the hypergeometric system, and also for the Gauss equation and the generalized hypergeometric equation. Chapter 6 has as subject connection problems for the hypergeometric system; the connection problems are reduced to those for linear difference equations, and by analytic continuation the required connection formulae are obtained. The analysis of Stokes phenomenon for the Birkhoff system, as explained in Chapter 2, is equivalent to the solution of a central connection problem between two fundamental sets of solutions near two singular points. The general theory is applied, for example, for the extended Bessel equation. A multipoint connection problem is solved for the Schlesinger canonical system at the end of Chapter 7, which, as well as Chapter 6, concentrates some of the main exposed results. The book is self-contained, so it can be useful for graduate students, but it also opens interesting ways to follow, making it appealing to researchers in the field. It contains an index, a bibliography including 123 titles and many helpful illustrations. It is clearly written and represents a synthesis of the developments of global analysis in the theory of linear differential equations in the complex domain.
