and so on. The solutions so obtained are really identical
with those we already have given in (17) and (18) as well
as those obtained by the asymptotic differentiation. The
demonstration hereof is indeed so straightforward that it
seems to me an unnecessary waste of space writing the
proof down.
On the other hand, sometimes we find it more convenient
to refer our series to the point x = x in stead of, as in
(25) and (27), to the origin.
We start then from the differential equation for the point
x — 0 or from f0 — 0. We have then
