Riemann differential equations belong to the class of Fuchsian equations (cf. Fuchsian equation) with three singular points. A particular case of Riemann differential equations is the hypergeometric equation (the singular points are $ 0, 1, \infty $); therefore, a Riemann differential equation itself is sometimes known as a generalized hypergeometric equation. A Riemann differential equation can be reduced to a Pochhammer equation, and its solution can thus be written in the form of an integral over a special contour in the complex plane.
