1. In this article the following problem proposed by W. N. Everitt is considered: ‘Under what conditions is it possible to transform a differential equation
which is limit-circle at b1 into an equation of the form
which is limit-point at b2?'
A differential equation of the above type on [a, b) is said to be limit-circle at b iff b is a singular point and every solution . If b is singular and there exists a , then the equation is said to be limit-point at b. See [3] or [4] page 501, also for further details.
