Symmetries of the confluent Heun equation (Q1781237)

Here, a group of symmetries of the confluent Heun equation (CHE) is studied. The existence of elementary and integral symmetries leads to some symmetries of the connection matrix, which describes relations among solutions determined at different regular singular points. The integral relations are considered in the form of contour integrals which allows one to use these relations for the procedure of analytic continuation for the solutions of CHE.
