This is the hypergeometric differential equation. It has regular singularities at $z=0,1,\infty$ , with corresponding exponent pairs $\{0,1-c\}$ , $\{0,c-a-b\}$ , $\{a,b\}$ , respectively. When none of the exponent pairs differ by an integer, that is, when none of $c$ , $c-a-b$ , $a-b$ is an integer, we have the following pairs $f_{1}(z)$ , $f_{2}(z)$ of fundamental solutions. They are also numerically satisfactory (§2.7(iv)) in the neighborhood of the corresponding singularity.
