The hypergeomsols routine returns a basis of the space of solutions of a second order linear ODE of hypergeometric type--that is, an equation of the form (see hyperode)

DEtools[hyperode](hypergeom([a,b], [c], x), y(x)) = 0;

For making symbolic experiments with the hypergeom function and the differential equation it satisfies see also dpolyform.

There are two general forms of calling sequences available for hypergeomsols.

The first argument LODE of the first calling sequence is a linear differential equation in diff or  form. The second argument y(x) is the function in the differential equation, and it is required only when the ODE involves more than one function being differentiated.

The last calling sequence has as its first argument the list of coefficients of a linear ODE, and the second argument is the independent variable. This input sequence may be convenient for programming with the hypergeomsols routine.

This routine is part of the DEtools package, and so it can be used in the form hypergeomsols(..) only after executing the command with(DEtools). However, it can always be accessed through the long form of the command by using DEtools[hypergeomsols](..).
