Semiclassical expansion for exactly solvable differential operators

Abstract

Below we study a linear differential equation $\MM (v(z,η))=η^M{v(z,η)}$, where $\eta >0$ is a large spectral parameter and $\MM=\sum_{k=1}^{M}ρ_{k}(z)\frac{d^k}{dz^k},\; M\ge 2$ is a differential operator with polynomial coefficients such that the leading coefficient ${\rho }_M(z)$ is a monic complex-valued polynomial with $\dgr{ρ_M }=M$ and other ${\rho }_k(z)$'s are complex-valued polynomials with $\dgr{ρ_k }\leq k$. We prove the Borel summability of its WKB-solutions in the Stokes regions. For $M=3$ under the assumption that ${\rho }_M$ has simple zeros, we give the full description of the Stokes complex (i.e. the union of all Stokes curves) of this equation. Finally, we show that for the Euler-Cauchy equations, their WKB-solutions converge in the usual sense.
