Analytic Evolution of DGLAP Equations

We present an analytical method to solve the leading order (LO) Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi (DGLAP) evolution equations, which describe how parton distribution functions (PDFs) vary through different energy scales. Our approach utilizes the analytical technique that was previously employed to address the evolution of singular distribution amplitudes. The method is straightforward, mathematically transparent, and requires very little computational power. The approach involves assuming that the PDF can be expanded into a series of terms, which follow a recursion relation that we derive. To demonstrate the efficacy of our method, we utilize a toy model of PDF at initial scale. We initiate with a reasonable approximation of the experimentally calculated PDF and demonstrate that our approach yields the asymptotic behavior of the PDF.
