Abstract

By definition, the coefficient sequence of a d’Alembertian series — Taylor’s or Laurent’s — satisfies a linear recurrence equation with coefficients in C(n) and the corresponding recurrence operator can be factored into first-order factors over C(n) (if this operator is of order 1, then the series is hypergeometric). Let L be a linear differential operator with polynomial coefficients. We prove that if the expansion of an analytic solution u(z) of the equation L(y)=0 at an ordinary (i.e., non-singular) point z0∈C of L is a d’Alembertian series, then the expansion of u(z) is of the same type at any ordinary point. All such solutions are of a simple form. However the situation can be different at singular points.
