  2. Regular singular point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_singular_point

    Point a is an ordinary point when functions p 1 (x) and p 0 (x) are analytic at x = a. Point a is a regular singular point if p 1 (x) has a pole up to order 1 at x = a and p 0 has a pole of order up to 2 at x = a. Otherwise point a is an irregular singular point.

  3. Singular point of a curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_point_of_a_curve

    Hence, it is technically more correct to discuss singular points of a smooth mapping here rather than a singular point of a curve. The above definitions can be extended to cover implicit curves which are defined as the zero set ⁠ f − 1 ( 0 ) {\displaystyle f^{-1}(0)} ⁠ of a smooth function , and it is not necessary just to consider ...

  4. Frobenius solution to the hypergeometric equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frobenius_solution_to_the...

    We shall prove that this equation has three singularities, namely at x = 0, x = 1 and around x = infinity. However, as these will turn out to be regular singular points, we will be able to assume a solution on the form of a series. Since this is a second-order differential equation, we must have two linearly independent solutions.

    One could define the x-axis as a tangent at this point, but this definition can not be the same as the definition at other points. In fact, in this case, the x-axis is a "double tangent." For affine and projective varieties, the singularities are the points where the Jacobian matrix has a rank which is lower than at other points of the variety.

  6. Hypergeometric function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergeometric_function

    The equation has two linearly independent solutions. At each of the three singular points 0, 1, ∞, there are usually two special solutions of the form x s times a holomorphic function of x, where s is one of the two roots of the indicial equation and x is a local variable vanishing at a regular singular point. This gives 3 × 2 = 6 special ...

  7. Frobenius method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frobenius_method

    Some solutions of a differential equation having a regular singular point with indicial roots = and .. In mathematics, the method of Frobenius, named after Ferdinand Georg Frobenius, is a way to find an infinite series solution for a linear second-order ordinary differential equation of the form ″ + ′ + = with ′ and ″.

  8. Singular point of an algebraic variety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_point_of_an...

    A point of an algebraic variety that is not singular is said to be regular. An algebraic variety that has no singular point is said to be non-singular or smooth. The concept is generalized to smooth schemes in the modern language of scheme theory. The plane algebraic curve (a cubic curve) of equation y 2 − x 2 (x + 1) = 0 crosses itself at ...

  9. Riemann's differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann's_differential...

    In mathematics, Riemann's differential equation, named after Bernhard Riemann, is a generalization of the hypergeometric differential equation, allowing the regular singular points to occur anywhere on the Riemann sphere, rather than merely at 0, 1, and . The equation is also known as the Papperitz equation. [1]
