Abstract

The paper discusses a holomorphic nonlinear singular partial differential equation \((t \partial _t)^mu=F(t,x,\{(t \partial _t)^j \partial _x^{\alpha }u \}_{j+\alpha \le m, j<m})\) under the assumption that the equation is of nonlinear totally characteristic type. By using the Newton polygon at \(x=0\), the notion of the irregularity at \(x=0\) of the equation is defined. In the case where the irregularity is greater than one, it is proved that every formal power series solution belongs to a suitable formal Gevrey class. The precise bound of the order of the formal Gevrey class is given, and the optimality of this bound is also proved in a generic case.
