Solutions of linear ordinary differential equations in terms of special functions

TLDR
The algorithm is able to find all rational transformations for a large class of functions, in particular the special functions of mathematical physics, such as Airy, Bessel, Kummer and Whittaker functions, and can be generalized to equations of higher order.
Abstract
We describe a new algorithm for computing special function solutions of the form y(x) = m(x)F(ξ(x)) of second order linear ordinary differential equations, where m(x) is an arbitrary Liouvillian function, ξ(x) is an arbitrary rational function, and F satisfies a given second order linear ordinary differential equation. Our algorithm, which is based on finding an appropriate point transformation between the equation defining F and the one to solve, is able to find all rational transformations for a large class of functions F, in particular (but not only) the 0F1 and 1F1 special functions of mathematical physics, such as Airy, Bessel, Kummer and Whittaker functions. It is also able to identify the values of the parameters entering those special functions, and can be generalized to equations of higher order.

Solving second order linear differential equations with Klein's theorem

TL;DR: A variation on the earlier formulas, namely the formulas will base the formulas on invariants of the differential Galois group instead of semi-invariants, to make the algorithm more easy to implement for various differential fields k.

Analytical solution of linear ordinary differential equations by differential transfer matrix method

Sina Khorasani, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new analytical method for finding the exact solution of homogeneous linear ordinary dierential equations with arbitrary order and variable coecients is presented. But the important feature of the presented method is that it deals with the evolution of independent solutions, rather than its derivatives.

TL;DR: A molded plastic bowling pin incorporating a core extending the length of the pin substantially from its base to its head and constituted of a plurality of plastic core elements of varying sizes and shapes such that the composite pin incorporating the same meets the weight distribution standards set by the American Bowling Congress, and a shell having a substantially uniform thickness about the core elements and being integrally molded on and firmly bonded thereto.

Liouvillian solutions of linear differential equations of order three and higher

TL;DR: This paper extends the algorithm in van Hoeij and Weil (1997) to compute semi-invariants and a theorem in Singer and Ulmer ( 1997) in such a way that, by computing one semi-Invariant that factors into linear forms, one gets all coefficients of the minimal polynomial of an algebraic solution of the Riccati equation, instead of only one coefficient.
