Solving Linear Differential Equations in Terms of Hypergeometric Functions by ₂-Descent

Let L be a linear ordinary differential equation with coefficients in C(x). This thesis presents algorithms to solve L in closed form. The key part of this thesis is 2-descent method, which is used to reduce L to an equation that is easier to solve. The starting point is an irreducible L, and the go...
