Book excerpt: The problem of deducing the basic relative invariants possessed by monic homogeneous linear differential equations of order $m$ was initiated in 1879 with Edmund Laguerre's success for the special case $m = 3$. It was solved in number 744 of the Memoirs of the AMS (March 2002), by a procedure that explicitly constructs, for any $m \geq3$, each of the $m - 2$ basic relative invariants. During that 123-year time span, only a few results were published about the basic relative invariants for other classes of ordinary differential equations. With respect to any fixed integer $\, m \geq 1$, the author begins by explicitly specifying the basic relative invariants for the class $\, \mathcal{C {m,2 $ that contains equations like $Q {m = 0$ in which $Q {m $ is a quadratic form in $y(z), \, \dots, \, y{(m) (z)$ having meromorphic coefficients written symmetrically and the coefficient of $\bigl( y{(m) (z) \bigr){2 $ is $1$.Then, in terms of any fixed positive integers $m$ and $n$, the author explicitly specifies the basic relative invariants for the class $\, \mathcal{C {m, n $ that contains equations like $H {m, n = 0$ in which $H {m, n $ is an $n$th-degree form in $y(z), \, \dots, \, y{(m) (z)$ having meromorphic coefficients written symmetrically and the coefficient of $\bigl( y{(m) (z) \bigr){n $ is $1$.These results enable the author to obtain the basic relative invariants for additional classes of ordinary differential equa
