m Floquet solution=: fixed format
Line 13:
This has two regular singularities at x = -1,1 and one irregularity singularity at infinity, whic impleis that in general (unlike many other special functions), the solutions of Mathieu's equation ''cannot'' be expressed in terms of [[hypergeometric function]]s.
 
==Floquet solution==
 
According to [[Floquet's theorem]], for fixed values of a,q, Mathieu's equation admits a ''complex valued'' solution of form
