Abstract

We obtain a pair of second order differential equations in two variables xx and tt from the coupled DGLAP QCD evolution equations at small xx using the standard Taylor series expansion method.To that end we keep terms upto O(x2)O(x^2 ).We use the standard assumption about the relationship between the singlet Structure Function and the gluon distributions available in current literature. We solve the taylor approximated O(x)O(x) DGLAP equations by Lagrange's auxiliary method and O(x2)O(x^2) equation by Method of Separation of Variables and then show that the two solutions obtained in each for O(x)O(x) and O(x2)O(x^2) are not identical in general.Analysis of the results obtained are done in the range of the recent HERA data.
