When the equation admits an irregular singularity, such a study was first made in [2] treating the confluent hypergeometric equation and the Airy equation. In this paper, we study the hyperbolic Schwarz map (note that this map governs the other Schwarz maps) of such an equation with any irregular singularity. We describe the asymptotic behavior of the map around the singular point: when the Poincaré rank is generic, it admits a uniform description; when the Poincaré rank is exceptional, a detailed study is made.
