Summary
Unveiling Higher Special Functions: Solutions and Historical Context
Higher special functions arise from boundary eigenvalue problems of Fuchsian differential equations with more than three singularities. This detailed reference provides solutions for singular boundary eigenvalue problems of linear ordinary differential equations of the second order, exploring previously unknown methods for finding higher special functions.
Starting from the fact that it is the singularities…

What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘This comprehensive treatise builds the theory of second-order linear ordinary differential equations in terms of the zeros of their leading coefficient. Beyond the functions of hypergeometric class is relatively unexplored territory: the ‘higher special functions’. Lay’s approach is deeply scholarly, and grounded in applications to dislocations and quantum theory.’ Michael Berry, University of Bristol
