Abstract

A general formalism is described whereby some regular singular points are effectively removed and substantial simplifications ensue for a class of Fuchsian ordinary differential equations, and related confluent equations. These simplifications follow provided the exponents at the singular points satisfy certain relations; explicit, illustrative examples are constructed to demonstrate the ideas.
