Introduction to middle convolution for differential equations with irregular singularities

Abstract

We introduce middle convolution for systems of linear differential equations with irregular singular points, and we presend a tentative definition of the index of rigidity for them. Under some assumption, we show a list of terminal patterns of irreducible systems of linear differential equations by iterated application of middle convolution when the index is positive or zero.
