Characteristic roots for two-lag linear delay differential equations

We consider the class of two-lag linear delay differential equations and develop a series expansion to solve for the roots of the nonlinear characteristic equation. The expansion draws on results from complex analysis, combinatorics, special functions, and classical analysis for differential equations. Supporting numerical results are presented along with application of our method to study the stability of a two-lag model from ecology.
