Linear ordinary differential equations with polynomial coefficients and their solutions in the complex plane have been an active area of mathematical research since the mid-19th century, with contributions from such prominent figures as G. Lamé, M. Bôcher, E. Heine, F. Klein, T. Stieltjes, G. D. Birkhoff, and many others. During the 19th century, interest focused mainly on second-order equations because of their importance in physics. The existence of a polynomial solution to a linear differential equation is a very special property, implying in particular the existence of a one-dimensional invariant subspace under the action of the monodromy group on the space of solutions. Polynomial solutions rarely occur for individual linear differential equations, but they typically arise within families of such equations.
In this book, we discuss in detail two major topics: exactly solvable linear differential operators, closely related to the Bochner–Krall problem in orthogonal polynomials, and the (generalized) Heine–Stieltjes theory, both of which originated more than a century ago. Our main emphasis is on the study of the root asymptotics of various polynomial sequences appearing in both problems. We also establish connections between our asymptotic analysis and special classes of quadratic and higher-order differentials, as well as other objects of geometric origin. In addition, we present a wealth of numerical results and suggest many open problems for the interested reader.

About the Author
Prof. B.Shapiro has been working in Stockholm University since 1991. He has published around 130 articles in various areas of mathematics, mainly in differential equations, topology and commutative algebra. One of his (joint) achievements is the formulation of the so-called Shapiro-Shapiro conjecture in real Schubert calculus which has been later settled by Mukhin-Tarasov-Varchenko. Another is his finding of a very intriguing, but completely forgotten conjecture on the number of equilibrium points for systems of point charges in 3-dimensional space due to J.C.Maxwell which was published in his book “A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism” in 1873.
Prof. B.Shapiro is a permanent recipient of research grants from the Swedish Science Foundation and served as an advisor for 12 doctoral students.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
