Abstract:
In this paper, we investigate the growth of solutions of the differential equation
where A, B are analytic functions in the closed complex plane except at z0 and a,b are complex constants such that ab≠0 and a = cb, c > 1. Another case has been studied for higher order linear differential equations with analytic coefficients having the same order near a finite singular point.
Keywords:
Linear differential equations, growth of solutions, finite singular point.
