Extract

We examine the asymptotic form of a fundamental set of solutions of the third-order equation

as x → ∞, where the leading coefficient q is nowhere zero in some interval [a, ∞). The equation is self-adjoint in the case when p, r and iq are real. However, our analysis is not confined to this case, and we generally take the coefficients to be complex-valued.
