Determine the range of the integer for which the equation
has an essential singularity at .
Use the Liouville-Green method to find the leading asymptotic approximation to two independent solutions of
for large . Find the Stokes lines for these approximate solutions. For what range of is the approximate solution which decays exponentially along the positive -axis an asymptotic approximation to an exact solution with this exponential decay?
