Holomorphic solutions of the double confluent Heun equation associated with the RSJ model of the Josephson junction (Q2356527)

This paper deals with the study of some qualitative properties of solutions of a class of nonlinear first-order differential equations that describe the Josephson junction model in superconductivity. The authors first describe the conditions on the equation parameters such that the general solution is an analytic function on the Riemann sphere except at 0 and \(\infty\). Next, the authors study the Josephson junction dynamics in relationship with the solutions of the double confluent Heun equation. Numerical examples illustrate the abstract results of this paper.
