Differentiation identities for hypergeometric functions

It is well-known that differentiation of hypergeometric function multiplied by a certain power function yields another hypergeometric function with a different set of parameters. Such differentiation identities for hypergeometric functions have been used widely in various fields of applied mathematics and natural sciences. In this expository note, we provide a simple proof of the differentiation identities, which is based only on the definition of the coefficients for the power series expansion of the hypergeometric functions.     

On Ramanujan asymptotic expansions and inequalities for hypergeometric functions

In this paper we first discuss refinement of the Ramunujan asymptotic expansion for the classical hypergeometric functionsF(a,b;c;x), c ≤a + b, near the singularityx = 1. Further, we obtain monotonous properties of the quotient of two hypergeometric functions and inequalities for certain combinations of them. Finally, we also solve an open problem of finding conditions ona, b > 0 such that 2F(−a,b;a +b;r ²) < (2−r ²)F(a,b;a +b;r ²) holds for all r∈(0,1).     

Mapping properties of the zero-balanced hypergeometric functions

In this paper, the order of convexity of $z_2{F}_1(a,b;c;z)$ is given under certain conditions on the positive real parameters a, b and c. We show also that the image domains of the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ under some shifted zero-balanced hypergeometric functions $z_2{F}_1(a,b;a+b;z)$ are convex and bounded by two horizontal lines. This solves a problem raised by Ponnusamy and Vuorinen in [10].     

Orthogonal properties for a typical class of hypergeometric functions

We present three orthogonal properties for a typical class of hypergeometric functions. We employ orthogonal properties to generate a theory concerning infinite series expansions involving our hypergeometric functions.     

Some results involving series representations of hypergeometric functions

In this paper, we prove some generalisations of several theorems given in [K.A. Driver, S.J. Johnston, An integral representation of some hypergeometric functions, Electron. Trans. Numer. Anal. 25 (2006) 115-120] and examine some special cases which correspond to a transformation given by Chaundy in [T.W. Chaundy, An extension of hypergeometric functions, I., Quart. J. Maths. Oxford Ser. 14 (1943) 55-78] and other transformations involving the Riemann zeta function and the beta function.     

Decomposition formulas for some triple hypergeometric functions

With the help of some techniques based upon certain inverse pairs of symbolic operators, the authors investigate several decomposition formulas associated with Srivastava's hypergeometric functions HA, HB and HC in three variables. Many operator identities involving these pairs of symbolic operators are first constructed for this purpose. By means of these operator identities, as many as 15 decomposition formulas are then found, which express the aforementioned triple hypergeometric functions in terms of such simpler functions as the products of the Gauss and Appell hypergeometric functions. Other closely-related results are also considered briefly.     

Elliptic hypergeometric functions and Calogero-Sutherland-type models

We consider an elliptic analogue of the Gauss hypergeometric function and two of its multivariate generalizations. We describe their relation to elliptic beta integrals, the exceptional Weyl group E₇, the elliptic hypergeometric equation, and Calogero-Sutherland-type models. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 150, No. 2, pp. 311–324, February, 2007.     

On the hypergeometric matrix functions of two variables

We introduce the generalized hypergeometric function with matrix parameters. We also define two variable Appell matrix functions and find their regions of convergence as well as integral representations.     

Asymptotic behaviour of certain zero-balanced hypergeometric series

In this paper an attempt has been made to give a very simple method of extending certain results of Ramanujan, Evans and Stanton on obtaining the asymptotic behaviour of a class of zero-balanced hypergeometric series. A more recent result of Saigo and Srivastava has also been used to obtain a Ramanujan type of result for a partial sum of a zero-balanced₄F₃ (1) and similar other partial series of higher order.     

New indefinite integrals of Heun functions

We present a conspicuous number of indefinite integrals involving Heun functions and their products obtained by means of the Lagrangian formulation of a general homogeneous linear ordinary differential equation. As a by-product we also derive new indefinite integrals involving the Gauss hypergeometric function and products of hypergeometric functions with elliptic functions of the first kind. All integrals we obtained cannot be computed using Maple and Mathematica.     

Jacobi matrices generated by ratios of hypergeometric functions

A problem of determining zeroes of the Gauss hypergeometric function goes back to Klein, Hurwitz, and Van Vleck. In this very short note we show how ratios of hypergeometric functions arise as m-functions of Jacobi matrices and we then revisit the problem based on the recent developments of the spectral theory of non-Hermitian Jacobi matrices.     

Index transforms associated with generalized hypergeometric functions

We deal with a class of integral transformations whose kernels contain the Clausenian hypergeometric function ₃F₂(a₁,a₂,a₃;b₁,b₂;z). These transforms are defined in terms of integrals with respect to their parameters. It involves as particular cases the familiar Olevskii and generalized Mehler–Fock transforms which are key tools in the methods of the mathematical theory of elasticity. The main theorem of boundedness of these operators as a map of L₂(?₊)L₂(?₊;x^?1 dx) is proved. Some examples of the Olevskii and Mehler–Fock type integrals are given.

Certain summation and transformation formulas for generalized hypergeometric series

We derive summation formulas for generalized hypergeometric series of unit argument, one of which upon specialization reduces to Minton’s summation theorem. As an application we deduce a reduction formula for a certain Kampé de Fériet function that in turn provides a Kummer-type transformation formula for the generalized hypergeometric function _pF_p(x).     

Integral inequalities for some special functions

Several integral inequalities for the classical hypergeometric, confluent hypergeometric, and confluent hypergeometric limit functions are given. The related results for Bessel and Whittaker functions as well as for Laguerre, Hermite, and Jacobi polynomials are discussed.
