Solving second-order matrix differential equations with regular singular points avoiding the increase of the problem dimension (Q1208332)

The paper presents a method for solving second order matrix differential equations of the form \(t^ 2X''+tA(t)X'+B(t)X=0\), where \(A(t)\), \(B(t)\) are analytic matrix functions in a neighborhood of \(t=0\). Convergent series solutions of the problem are constructed without increasing the problem dimension. By introducing the concept of a fundamental set of solutions of the above equation, an analogous result to the Frobenius theorem to solve the corresponding scalar equation is proved.
