On the Solutions of Linear Ordinary Differential Equations andn Bessel-type Special Functions on the Levi-Civita Field

摘要

Because of the disconnectedness of a non-Archimedean ordered field in the topology induced by the order, it is possible to have non-constant functions with zero derivatives everywhere. In fact the solution space of the differential equation y' = 0 is infinite dimensional. In this paper, we give sufficient conditions for a function on an open subset of the Levi-Civita field to have zero derivative everywhere and we use the nonconstant zero-derivative functions to obtain non-analytic solutions of
