abstract:
In the present paper, using linearly independent solutions of the Fuchs class 
linear differential equation which contains a term with the first order 
derivative of the unknown function, we propose effective methods for solving 
both the Schwarz nonlinear equation, whose right-hand side is a doubled 
invariant of the Fuchs class linear differential equation, and the plane 
problems of filtration with partially unknown boundaries. The modulus of the 
difference of the characteristic numbers of the Fuchs class linear differential 
equation for every singular point is equal to the corresponding (divided by 
$\pi$) angle at the vertex of a circular polygon. For the first time it is shown 
that the coefficients at the poles of second order of the doubled invariant of 
the Fuchs class linear differential equation and those on the right-hand side of 
the Schwarz equation coincide completely.
Relying on the property mentioned above, we suggest simpler methods of solving 
the problems of the theory of stationary motion of incompressible liquid in a 
porous medium with partially unknown boundaries than those described by us 
earlier for the solution of the same problems.
