Synopsis

Depending upon the initial data associated with the fundamental matrix, the function M(λ), used to generate L2-solutions of homogeneous linear differential systems, may vary. We show that there is a matrix bilinear transformation between such functions M(λ) with different initial data and illustrate how the result can be used to simplify the calculation of a specific M(λ)-function for a scalar second-order problem.
