In this paper we shall use the integral operator method of Bergman, B[1–6], to investigate solutions of the partial differential equation where s > −1. In particular, information concerning the growth, and location of singularities, of solutions of (1.1) will be obtained. Equations of the form (1.1) with s = 1, 2, arise from the (n+k+1)-dimensional Laplace equation Δn+k+1u = 0 in the “axially symmetric” coordinates x1, …xn, p where the relationship between cartesian and “axially symmetric” coordinates is given by
