Analytic solutions of an iterative functional differential equation near resonance (Q606201)

Summary: We investigate the existence of analytic solutions of a class of second-order differential equations involving iterates of the unknown function \[ x''(z) + cx'(z) = x(az + bx(z)) \] in the complex field \(\mathbb C\). By reducing the equation with the Schröder transformation to another functional differential equation without iteration of the unknown function \[ \lambda^2g''(\lambda z)g'(z)-\lambda g'(\lambda z)g''(z)+c(g'(z))^2(\lambda g'(\lambda z)-ag'(z))=(g'(z))^3(\lambda^2z)-ag(\lambda z)), \] we get its local invertible analytic solutions.
