A boundary function method for solving the model Lighthill equation with a regular singular point (Q1946440)

An asymptotic solution of the Cauchy problem for the model Lighthill equation \[ (x+\epsilon u(x))u'(x)=q(x)u(x)+r(x),\;u(1)=u^0 \] with a singular point of the unperturbed equation \((\epsilon=0)\) at the origin is constructed. Here, \(x\in[0,1]\), \(0<\epsilon\ll 1\), \(u^0\) is a given constant and \(q(x)=\sum\limits_{k=0}^\infty q_kx^k,\) \(r(x)=\sum\limits_{k=0}^\infty r_kx^k\) are \(C^\infty\)-function on the interval \([0,1]\). The analysis and the proof of the main result is based on applying the asymptotic expansion techniques and method similar to the Vishik-Lyusternik-Vasil'eva-Imanaliev boundary function method.
