We study the linear inhomogeneous first order differential equation by′ + f(x) = y in the ring of formal power series with integer coefficients. Using the p-adic topology on the ring of integers, we construct a counterpart of the Hurwitz product of the Euler series and an arbitrary formal power series with integer coefficients. It is shown that the Euler series can be interpreted as the fundamental solution to the equation under consideration. Bibliography: 8 titles.
