Linear Differential Equation with Inhomogeneity in the Form of a Formal Power Series Over a Ring with Non-Archimedean Valuation

  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

Consider a linear inhomogeneous differential equation of the mth order with constant coefficients from the valuation ring K of a non-Archimedean field. We establish sufficient conditions for the uniqueness and existence of the solution of this equation in the ring of formal power series K[[x]]. In addition, we obtain a fundamental solution of this equation such that its convolution with the inhomogeneity is a unique solution of the analyzed equation.
