A note on the Lagrange polynomials in several variables

Recently, Chan, Chyan and Srivastava [W.-C.C. Chan, C.-J. Chyan, H.M. Srivastava, The Lagrange polynomials in several variables, Integral Transform. Spec. Funct. 12 (2001) 139-148] introduced and systematically investigated the Lagrange polynomials in several variables. In the present paper, we derive various families of multilinear and multilateral generating functions for the Chan-Chyan-Srivastava multivariable polynomials.     

Some families of generating functions for the extended Srivastava polynomials

Almost four decades ago, H.M. Srivastava considered a general family of univariate polynomials, the Srivastava polynomials, and initiated a systematic investigation for this family [10]. In 2001, B. González, J. Matera and H.M. Srivastava extended the Srivastava polynomials by inserting one more parameter [4]. In this study we obtain a family of linear generating functions for these extended polynomials. Some illustrative results including Jacobi, Laguerre and Bessel polynomials are also presented. Furthermore, mixed multilateral and multilinear generating functions are derived for these polynomials.     

New generating functions for Jacobi and related polynomials

In this paper the authors prove a generalization of certain generating functions for Jacobi and related polynomials, given recently by H. M. Srivastava. The method used is due to Pólya and Szegö, and it is based on Rodrigues' formula for the Jacobi polynomials and Lagrange's expansion theorem. A number of special and limiting cases of the main result will give rise to a class of generating functions for ultraspherical, Laguerre and Bessel polynomials.     

New families of generating functions for certain class of three-variable polynomials

Recently, Srivastava, Özarslan and Kaanoglu have introduced certain families of three and two variable polynomials, which include Lagrange and Lagrange-Hermite polynomials, and obtained families of two-sided linear generating functions between these families [H.M. Srivastava, M.A. Özarslan, C. Kaanoglu, Some families of generating functions for a certain class of three-variable polynomials, Integr. Transform. Spec. Funct. iFirst (2010) 1-12]. The main object of this investigation is to obtain new two-sided linear generating functions between these families by applying certain hypergeometric transformations. Furthermore, more general families of bilinear, bilateral, multilateral finite series relationships and generating functions are presented for them.     

New class of generating functions associated with generalized hypergeometric polynomials

In this paper authors prove a general theorem on generating relations for a certain sequence of functions. Many formulas involving the families of generating functions for generalized hypergeometric polynomials are shown here to be special cases of a general class of generating functions involving generalized hypergeometric polynomials and multiple hypergeometric series of several variables. It is then shown how the main result can be applied to derive a large number of generating functions involving hypergeometric functions of Kampé de Fériet, Srivastava, Srivastava-Daoust, Chaundy, Fasenmyer, Cohen, Pasternack, Khandekar, Rainville and other multiple Gaussian hypergeometric polynomials scattered in the literature of special functions.     

The integration of certain products of the multivariableH-function with a general class of polynomials

The authors present six general integral formulas (four definite integrals and two contour inegrals) for theH-function of several complex variables, which was introduced and studied in a series of earlier papers by H. M. Srivastava and R. Panda (cf., e.g., [25] through [29]; see also [14] through [18], [20], [24], [32], [34], [35], [37], and [38]). Each of these integral formulas involves a product of the multivariableH-function and a general class of polynomials with essentially arbitrary coefficients which were considered elsewhere by H. M. Srivastava [21]. By assigning suiatble special values to these coefficients, the main results (contained in Theorems 1, 2 and 3 below) can be reduced to integrals involving the classical orthogonal polynomials including, for example, Hermite, Jacobi [and, of course, Gegenbauer (or ultraspherical), Legendre, and Tchebycheff], and Laguerre polynomials, the Bessel polynomials considered by H. L. Krall and O. Frink [9], and such other classes of generalized hypergeometric polynomials as those studied earlier by F. Brafman [3] and by H. W. Gould and A. T. Hopper [8]. On the other hand, the multivariableH-functions occurring in each of our main results can be reduced, under various special cases, to such simpler functions as the generalized Lauricella hypergeometric functions of several complex variables [due to H. M. Srivastava and M. C. Daoust (cf. [22] and [23])] which indeed include a great many of the useful functions (or the products of several such functions) of hypergeometric type (in one and more variables) as their particular cases (see,e. g., [1], [10] and [39]). Many of the aforementioned applications of our integral formulas (contained in Theorems 1, 2 and 3 below) are considered briefly. Further usefulness of some of these consequences of Theorems 1 and 2 in terms of the classical orthogonal polynomials is illustrated by considering a simple problem involving the orthogonal expansion of the multivariableH-function in series of Jacobi polynomials. It is also shown how these general integrals are related to a number of results scattered in the literature. 0261 0262 V     

Classes of analytic functions associated with the Choi-Saigo-Srivastava operator

We investigate several properties of the linear Choi-Saigo-Srivastava operator and associated classes of analytic functions which were introduced and studied by J.H. Choi, M. Saigo and H.M. Srivastava [J.H. Choi, M. Saigo, H.M. Srivastava, Some inclusion properties of a certain family of integral operators, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 276 (2002) 432-445]. Several theorems are an extension of earlier results of the above paper.     

Notes on generalization of the Bernoulli type polynomials

Recently, Srivastava et al. introduced a new generalization of the Bernoulli, Euler and Genocchi polynomials (see [H.M. Srivastava, M. Garg, S. Choudhary, Russian J. Math. Phys. 17 (2010) 251-261] and [H.M. Srivastava, M. Garg, S. Choudhary, Taiwanese J. Math. 15 (2011) 283-305]). They established several interesting properties of these general polynomials, the generalized Hurwitz-Lerch zeta functions and also in series involving the familiar Gaussian hypergeometric function. By the same motivation of Srivastava’s et al. [11] and [12], we introduce and derive multiplication formula and some identities related to the generalized Bernoulli type polynomials of higher order associated with positive real parameters a, b and c. We also establish multiple alternating sums in terms of these polynomials. Moreover, by differentiating the generating function of these polynomials, we give a interpolation function of these polynomials.     

On some applications of the Briot-Bouquet differential subordination

Recently Srivastava et al. [J. Dziok, H.M. Srivastava, Certain subclasses of analytic functions associated with the generalized hypergeometric function, Integral Transforms Spec. Funct. 14 (2003) 7-18; J. Dziok, H.M. Srivastava, Classes of analytic functions associated with the generalized hypergeometric function, Appl. Math. Comput. 103 (1999) 1-13; Y.C. Kim, H.M. Srivastava, Fractional integral and other linear operators associated with the Gaussian hypergeometric function, Complex Var. Theory Appl. 34 (1997) 293-312] introduced and studied a class of analytic functions associated with the generalized hypergeometric function. In the present paper, by using the Briot-Bouquet differential subordination, new results in this class are obtained.     

Subclasses of meromorphic functions associated with the Cho-Kwon-Srivastava operator

We consider a multiplier transformation and some subclasses of the class of meromorphic functions which was defined by means of the Hadamard product by N.E. Cho, O.S. Kwon and H.M. Srivastava in [N.E. Cho, O.S. Kwon, H.M. Srivastava, Inclusion and argument properties for certain subclasses of meromorphic functions associated with a family of multiplier transformations, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 300 (2004) 505-520].     

Combinatorics of generalized q-Euler numbers

New enumerating functions for the Euler numbers are considered. Several of the relevant generating functions appear in connection to entries in Ramanujan's Lost Notebook. The results presented here are, in part, a response to a conjecture made by M.E.H. Ismail and C. Zhang about the symmetry of polynomials in Ramanujan's expansion for a generalization of the Rogers-Ramanujan series. Related generating functions appear in the work of H. Prodinger and L.L. Cristea in their study of geometrically distributed random variables. An elementary combinatorial interpretation for each of these enumerating functions is given in terms of a related set of statistics.     

Some discrete Fourier transform pairs associated with the Lipschitz–Lerch Zeta function

It is shown that there exists a companion formula to Srivastava’s formula for the Lipschitz–Lerch Zeta function [see H.M. Srivastava, Some formulas for the Bernoulli and Euler polynomials at rational arguments, Math. Proc. Cambridge Philos. Soc. 129 (2000) 77–84] and that together these two results form a discrete Fourier transform pair. This Fourier transform pair makes it possible for other (known or new) results involving the values of various Zeta functions at rational arguments to be easily recovered or deduced in a more general context and in a remarkably unified manner.     

Convolution properties for certain classes of multivalent functions

Recently N.E. Cho, O.S. Kwon and H.M. Srivastava [Nak Eun Cho, Oh Sang Kwon, H.M. Srivastava, Inclusion relationships and argument properties for certain subclasses of multivalent functions associated with a family of linear operators, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 292 (2004) 470-483] have introduced the class of multivalent analytic functions and have given a number of results. This class has been defined by means of a special linear operator associated with the Gaussian hypergeometric function. In this paper we have extended some of the previous results and have given other properties of this class. We have made use of differential subordinations and properties of convolution in geometric function theory.     

The Dattoli-Srivastava conjectures concerning generating functions involving the harmonic numbers

In a recent paper Dattoli and Srivastava [3], by resorting to umbral calculus, conjectured several generating functions involving harmonic numbers. In this sequel to their work our aim is to rigorously demonstrate the truth of the Dattoli-Srivastava conjectures by making use of simple analytical arguments. In addition, one of these conjectures is stated and proved in more general form.     

q-difference equations for homogeneous q-difference operators and their applications

In this short paper, we show how to deduce several types of generating functions from Srivastava et al. [Appl. Set-Valued Anal. Optim. 1 (2019), 187–201] by the method of q-difference equations. Moreover, we build relations between transformation formulas and homogeneous q-difference equations.     

Exponential generating function of hyperharmonic numbers indexed by arithmetic progressions

There is a circle of problems concerning the exponential generating function of harmonic numbers. The main results come from Cvijovic, Dattoli, Gosper and Srivastava. In this paper, we extend some of them. Namely, we give the exponential generating function of hyperharmonic numbers indexed by arithmetic progressions; in the sum several combinatorial numbers (like Stirling and Bell numbers) and the hypergeometric function appear.     

Wreath Hurwitz numbers, colored cut-and-join equations, and 2-Toda hierarchy

Let G be arbitrary finite group,define H G· (t;p +,p) to be the generating function of G-wreath double Hurwitz numbers.We prove that H G· (t;p +,p) satisfies a differential equation called the colored cutand-join equation.Furthermore,H G·(t;p +,p) is a product of several copies of tau functions of the 2-Toda hierarchy,in independent variables.These generalize the corresponding results for ordinary Hurwitz numbers.     

Further summation formulae related to generalized harmonic numbers

By employing the univariate series expansion of classical hypergeometric series formulae, Shen [L.-C. Shen, Remarks on some integrals and series involving the Stirling numbers and ζ(n), Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 347 (1995) 1391-1399] and Choi and Srivastava [J. Choi, H.M. Srivastava, Certain classes of infinite series, Monatsh. Math. 127 (1999) 15-25; J. Choi, H.M. Srivastava, Explicit evaluation of Euler and related sums, Ramanujan J. 10 (2005) 51-70] investigated the evaluation of infinite series related to generalized harmonic numbers. More summation formulae have systematically been derived by Chu [W. Chu, Hypergeometric series and the Riemann Zeta function, Acta Arith. 82 (1997) 103-118], who developed fully this approach to the multivariate case. The present paper will explore the hypergeometric series method further and establish numerous summation formulae expressing infinite series related to generalized harmonic numbers in terms of the Riemann Zeta function ζ(m) with m=5,6,7, including several known ones as examples.     

On certain classes of analytic functions

In this paper we introduce some new classes of analytic functions which generalise several known sequence spaces and function spaces studied by Simons, Maddox, Srivastava and others. We establish some inclusion relations, topological results and give the characterisation of continuous linear functionals for these spaces. Our results include the corresponding results of Simons, Maddox and others.
