Abstract

Using a simple transfer matrix approach we have derived long series expansions for the perimeter generating functions of both three-choice polygons and punctured staircase polygons. In both cases we find that all the known terms in the generating function can be reproduced from a linear Fuchsian differential equation of order 8. We report on an analysis of the properties of the differential equations.
