RESOLUTION OF SINGULARITIES FOR A FAMILY OF THIRD-ORDER DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEMS WITH SMALL MEROMORPHIC SOLUTION SPACES

Abstract

Comparing the resolution of singularities for differential equations of Painlevé type, there are important differences between the second-order Painlevé equations and those of higher order. Unlike the second-order case, in higherorder cases there may exist some meromorphic solution spaces with codimension 2. In this paper, we will give an explicit global resolution of singularities for a 3-parameter family of third-order differential systems with meromorphic solution spaces of codimension 2.
