%0 Journal Article %T A non-trivial special case of the biconfluent Heun equation [0,1,1_3]: orthogonality of its solutions %A Harold Exton %J Le Matematiche %D 1996 %I University of Catania %X A special case of the biconfluent Heun equation which is not reducible to a form of a hypergeometric equation is solved by means of a Laplace transform. The solutions are double series which exhibit a type of orthogonality comparable in some respects to that of Fourier-Bessel type. %U http://www.dmi.unict.it/ojs/index.php/lematematiche/article/view/429
