Re: Number of solutions of an ODE set

Yes, the question was not clear... I wrote the system on the boundary
so no extra conditions exist (all were applied before). Number of
solutions are important for the index theorem.

Is there any way of finding the number of solutions of an ODE set
numerically? Not like, if the order is two, the number of solutions is
two. But, for example, if the solution is of the type of Bessel
functions, the number of solutions can be infinity according to the
parameters.

It's not at all clear to me what sort of system you're talking
about.
Just ODE's with no extra conditions?
Initial value problems?
Boundary value problems?
Why would "the type of Bessel functions" have anything to do
with the number of solutions?
