An Operational Method for Determining the Series Solution of a Linear Differential Equation of Rank Two

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  03 November 2016

Extract

The equation considered is of the type

and f(δ) and g(δ) are polynomials in δ.

There are three cases to consider These are:

(I) The roots off f(z) = 0 are distinct and no two differ by an integer.

(II) Some of the roots of f(z) = 0 are co-incident.

(III) There exists an integral difference between some of the roots of f(z) = 0.
