A new bi-parametric $su(1,1)$ algebraization of the Heun class of equations is explored. This yields additional quasi-polynomial solutions of the form $\{z^{\alpha}P_N(z): \ \alpha \in \mathbb{C}, \ N \in \mathbb{N}_0\}$ to the General Heun…
We construct an expansion of the solutions of the bi-confluent Heun equation in terms of the Hermite functions. The series is governed by a three-term recurrence relation between successive coefficients of the expansion. We examine the…
We find sets of solutions to the generalized spheroidal wave equation (GSWE) or, equivalently, to the confluent Heun equation. Each set is constituted by three solutions, one given by a series of ascending powers of the independent…
Starting from equations obeyed by functions involving the first or the second derivatives of the biconfluent Heun function, we construct two expansions of the solutions of the biconfluent Heun equation in terms of incomplete Beta functions.…

The present paper analyze the constraints on the confluent Heun type-equation, $(a_{3,1}r^2+a_{3,2}r)y"+(a_{2,0}r^2+a_{2,1}r+a_{2,2})y'-(\tau_{1,0}r+\tau_{1,1})y=0,$ where $|a_{3,1}|^2+|a_{3,2}|^2\neq 0, $ and $a_{i,j},i=3,2,1, j=0,1,2$ are…
We show that there exist infinitely many nontrivial choices of parameters of the single confluent Heun equation for which the three-term recurrence relations governing the expansions of the solutions in terms of the confluent hypergeometric…
It is shown that the Confluent Heun Equation (CHEq) reduces for certain conditions of the parameters to a particular class of Quasi-Exactly Solvable models, associated with the Lie algebra $sl (2,{\mathbb R})$. As a consequence it is…
We obtain some new formulae to compute the first derivative of confluent and biconfluent Heun functions under the minimal assumption of fixing only one parameter. These results together with the Lagrangian formulation of a general…
Several expansions of the solutions to the confluent Heun equation in terms of incomplete Beta functions are constructed. A new type of expansion involving certain combinations of the incomplete Beta functions as expansion functions is…
We introduce new hypergeometric series expansions of the solutions to the general Heun equation. The form of the Gauss hypergeometric functions used as expansion function differs from that used before. We derive three such expansions and…
A procedure is proposed to construct solutions of the double confluent Heun equation with a determinate behaviour at the singular points. The connection factors are expressed as quotients of Wronskians of the involved solutions. Asymptotic…
We obtain special solutions of the $q$-Heun equation which are expressed as finite summations of $q$-hypergeometric functions. These solutions are obtained by considering the $q$-integral transformations of the polynomial-type solutions.
We reexamine and extend a group of solutions in series of Bessel functions for a limiting case of the confluent Heun equation and, then, apply such solutions to the one-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation with an inverted quasi-exactly…

In this paper, we give the matrix version of Horn's hypergeometric function and its confluent cases. We also discuss the regions of convergence, the system of matrix differential equations of bilateral type, differential formulae and…
Firstly, we construct kernels of integral relations among solutions of the confluent Heun equation (CHE) and its limit, the reduced CHE (RCHE). In both cases we generate additional kernels by systematically applying substitutions of…
We find pairs of solutions to a differential equation which is obtained as a special limit of a generalized spheroidal wave equation (this is also known as confluent Heun equation). One solution in each pair is given by a series of…
