On the Riemann P Equation with Integral Exponent differences
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2009
Extract
The differential equation in question is of the second order and has three regular singular points. It is usually denoted by
where a, b, c are the singular points, a, a′ etc. the exponents at those singularities. The solution when no one of the numbers α – α′, β – β′, γ – γ′ is an integer or zero is well known; all types of solution are expressible in terms of the hypergeometric functions.
