Examples

Heun's Triconfluent equation,

can be transformed into another version of itself, that is, an equation with one regular and one irregular singularities respectively located at 0 and through transformations of the form

where are new variables and . Under this transformation, the HeunT parameters transform according to -> , -> , -> . These transformations form a group of six elements and imply on identities, among which you have

When, in HeunT(,,,z), , where is a positive integer, the th+1, th+2 and th+3 coefficients form a polynomial system for the remaining parameters and . When this system is identically satisfied all the subsequent coefficients cancel too and the series truncates, resulting in a polynomial form of degree for HeunT. For example, this is the necessary condition for a polynomial form
