We describe a new method of constructing transcendental entire functionsAsuch that the differential equationw″ +Aw= 0 has two linearly independent solutions with relatively few zeros. In particular, we solve a problem of Bank and Laine by showing that there exist entire functionsAof any prescribed order greater than 1/2 such that the differential equation has two linearly independent solutions whose zeros have finite exponent of convergence. We show that partial results by Bank, Laine, Langley, Rossi and Shen related to this problem are in fact best possible. We also improve a result of Toda and show that the estimate obtained is best possible. Our method is based on gluing solutions of the Schwarzian differential equationS(F) = 2Afor infinitely many coefficientsA.
