Abstract: We study the structure of analytic continuation of solutions of an even rank system of linear ordinary differential equations of Okubo normal form (ONF). We develop an adjustment of the method by using the Euler integral for evaluating the connection formulas of the Gauss hypergeometric function to the system of ONF. We obtain recursive relations between connection coefficients for the system of ONF and ones for the underlying system of half rank.


Okubo has studied a rank \(n\) system of linear ordinary differential equations (LODE) of the form \[ (xI_n-B)(du/dx)=Au, \] where \(A\) is a constant \(n\times n\)-matrix, \(B\) is a diagonal constant matrix and \(I_n\) is the identity \(n\times n\)-matrix. Such a system is said to be in Okubo's normal form (ONF). The Gauss hypergeometric differential equation can be transformed into a system in ONF. The author studies the structure of analytic continuation of solutions of an even rank system of LODE in ONF. He develops an adjustment of the method for evaluating the connection formulas of the Gauss hypergeometric function by means of the Euler integral to the system in ONF. He obtains recursive relations between the connection coefficients for the system in ONF and the ones for the underlying system in ONF of half rank.
