3. Analytic Function
A function f(x) is said to be Analytic at x0 , if f(x) has Taylor series
expansion about x0 exists and converges to f(x) for all x in some open
interval including x0 .
If a function f(x) is not analytic at x0 , then it is said to be Singular at
x0 .
4. Classification of singularities
2nd Order ODE
Ordinary Point Singular Point
Regular singular Point Irregular singular Point
If both
(x- x0)p(x) & q(x) Analytic at x0
If
p(x)&q(x) both Analytic at x0
If
p(x)&q(x) not Analytic at x0
If
(x- x0)p(x) & q(x) not Analytic at x0

If p(x) = Q(x)/P(x) and q(x)= R(x)/P(x) both are analytic at x0.
Then the given point x0 is called Ordinary Point.
7. Singular Point
In the case of Ordinary points if p(x) or q(x) or both are not Analytic at x0.
Then the point x0 is called Singular Point.
Regular Singular Point
If both (x- x0)p(x) & q(x) are analytic at x0….
Then singular point x0 of given equation is called Regular singular Point.

Irregular Singular Point
If either (x- x0)p(x) or q(x) or both are not analytic at x0….
Then singular point x0 of given equation is called Irregular singular Point.

8. Example
Consider the equation: 0sincos2/

yxyxyx
Here, x = /2 is only singular point.
So, x = x0 = /2 .
p(x) = & q(x) =
We will demonstrate that x = /2 is a regular singular point by showing that
the following functions are analytic at /2.
