Asymptotic Solution of a Differential System Related to the Generalized Hypergeometric Equation (Q4934894)

The author deals with the first-order differential system \[ Y'(x)= A(x) Y(x),\quad x\in [a,\infty),\tag{1} \] particular cases of which are equivalent to standard forms of the generalized hypergeometric equation. He develops the transformation theory of (1) which was introduced by him [in \textit{R. P. Agarwal}, World Sci. Ser. Appl. Anal. 1, 149-161 (1992; Zbl 0832.34042)] for a special case of (1). It is shown that (1) can be transformed into a system of Levinson-type \[ U'= (\Lambda+ R)U,\tag{2} \] where \(\Lambda\) is diagonal and the perturbation \(R\) is \(L([a,\infty))\). Applying the Levinson asymptotic theorem on (2), the asymptotic solution to (1) then follows on transforming back from \(U\) to \(Y\). Finally, the author discusses next extensions of the transformation method.
