Zero level perturbation of a certain third-order linear solvable ODE with an irregular singularity at the origin of Poincaré rank 1 (Q667823)

In this article, the author considers a particular third order linear solvable homogeneous ordinary differential equation with an irregular singularity of Poincaré rank 1 at the origin $x=0$. \par Following [\textit{A.

J. 13, No. 3, 529--550 (2013; Zbl 1292.34085)], she regularly perturbs this equation by means of a small parameter $\varepsilon\in]0,1[$ in order to split the irregular singularity into two finite fuchsian singularities $x_L=-\sqrt{\varepsilon}$ and $x_R=\sqrt{\varepsilon}$. Then, she proves that, in the presence of logarithmic terms in the solutions of the perturbed equations, the Stokes matrices of the initial equation are limits of the parts of the monodromy matrices around the resonant singular points $x_L$ and $x_R$ of the perturbed equation when $\sqrt{\varepsilon}$ tends to zero. \par This result, which is similar to the ones of [Zbl 0949.34076; Zbl 1099.34077; Zbl 1263.34127; Zbl 1292.34085] but with a slightly different approach, is of interest since it proposes a new approach for the study of the Stokes phenomenon. Moreover, the developed technique could be also useful in the case of a general higher order solvable scalar equation. \par For more general similar problems, the reader may also consult the following papers [\textit{W.
