Abstract
The theory of propagation of electromagnetic waves in layered plasmas with Epstein type density gradients is investigated. Depending on polarization, the presence of a nonzero magnetic field and the angle of incidence with respect to the gradient, the number of regular singular points is determined, and thus the type of relevant Fuchsian equation is indicated.Keywords
