No label defined (Q3972430)

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0707.00015.] The author considers the equation \[ z^ n(\mu^ 2-2\mu z+z^ 2)d^ ny/dz^ n+\sum^ i_{k=0}z^ k(a_ k+b_ kz+c_ kz^ 2)d^ ky/dz^ k=0,\tag{1} \] \(0\leq i\leq n-1\), where \(z\), \(a_ k\), \(b_ k\), \(c_ k\) \((k=0,1,\dots,i)\) are complex and \(\mu\neq 0\). This equation has three regular singular points \(z=0\), \(z=\mu\), \(z=\infty\). Denote by \(y_ j(z)\), \(j=1,2,\dots,n\), linearly independent solutions of (1) about \(z=0\) and by \(u_ k(z)\), \(k=1,2,\dots,n\), linearly independent solutions of (1) about \(z=\infty\). The author discusses the problem to find the linear combinations of \(u_ k(z)\), which give (asymptotically) the solutions \(y_ j(z)\).
