Fuchsian Differential Equation for the Perimeter Generating
Function of Three-Choice Polygons
Abstract.
Using a simple transfer matrix approach we have derived very long series expansions
for the perimeter generating function of three-choice polygons.
We find that all the terms in the generating function can be reproduced from a
linear Fuchsian differential equation of order 8. We perform an analysis of the
properties of the differential equation.
