Specialization of Appell's functions to univariate hypergeometric functions

Univariate specializations of Appell's hypergeometric functions F₁, F₂, F₃, F₄ satisfy ordinary Fuchsian equations of order at most 4. In special cases, these differential equations are of order 2 and could be simple (pullback) transformations of Euler's differential equation for the Gauss hypergeometric function. The paper classifies these cases, and presents corresponding relations between univariate specializations of Appell's functions and univariate hypergeometric functions. The computational aspect and interesting identities are discussed.
