Abstract
We present a method for the analytic solution of small x structure fun ctions. The essential small x logarithms are summed to all orders in t he anomalous dimensions and coefficient functions. Although we work at leading logarithmic accuracy, the method is general enough to allow t he systematic inclusion of sub-leading logarithms. Results and predict ions are presented for the gluon density, and the structure functions F-2(x, Q(2)) and F-L(x, Q(2)). We find that corrections to the simple double logarithmic calculation are important in the HERA range and obt ain good fits to all available data.
