Some addition to the generalized Riemann-Hilbert problem
We consider the generalized Riemann-Hilbert problem for linear differential equations with irregular singularities. If one weakens the conditions by allowing one of the Poincaré ranks to be non-minimal, the problem is known to have a solution. In this article we give a bound for the possibly non-minimal Poincaré rank. We also give a bound for the number of apparent singularities of a scalar equation with prescribed generalized monodromy data.
