ABSTRACT
When the term in the first derivative is removed from equation (12.01) by change of dependent variable, we obtain
with solutions w = (x2 - 1)lJ2L. This equation is to be identified with (2.01). In the asymptotic analysis we shall concentrate on positive x, hence x, is taken to be + 1 and not -1. The most obvious choice for the parameter u is {n(n+1))lJ2, but for reasons which become clear shortly, we define
u = n + + .
