Novel representation of the general Heun's functions (1405.6837v3)

Abstract: In the present article we introduce and study a novel type of solutions of the general Heun's equation. Our approach is based on the symmetric form of the Heun's differential equation yielded by development of the Felix Klein symmetric form of the Fuchsian equations with an arbitrary number $N\geq 4$ of regular singular points. We derive the symmetry group of these equations which turns to be a proper extension of the Mobius group. We also introduce and study new series solution of symmetric form of the general Heun's differential equation (N=4) which treats simultaneously and on an equal footing all singular points. Hopefully, this new form will simplify the resolution of the existing open problems in the theory of general Heun's functions and can be used for development of new effective computational methods.
