Definition

Consider a second-order ordinary differential equation y^('')+P(x)y^'+Q(x)y=0. If P(x) and Q(x) remain finite at x=x_0, then x_0 is called an ordinary point. If either P(x) or Q(x) diverges as x->x_0, then x_0 is called a singular point. If either P(x) or Q(x) diverges as x->x_0 but (x-x_0)P(x) and (x-x_0)^2Q(x) remain finite as x->x_0, then x=x_0 is called a regular singular point (or nonessential singularity).
