Asymptotic behaviour of the solutions of a certain second order differential equation in the vicinity of an irregular singular point

In this thesis, it is contemplated to study the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions of the differential equationz2d2y + z(bo +b1zm ) dy +(co + c1zm + c2 z2m)y =0 (1) dz2 dzHere m is a positive integer, the variable z is regarded complex as are the constants bi(i=0,1) and ci(i=0,1,2) with c2 ≠ 0. Then in the language of Fuch's theory the differential equation (1) will have a regular singular point at z=0 and an irregular singular point at z=θ. The indicial equation about z=0 is found to beh(h-1) + boh + co = 0(2)It is also assumed that the difference of the roots of (2) are incongruent to zero modulo m.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306
