On hypergeometric series reductions from integral representations, the Kampe de Feriet function, and elsewhere

In a recent paper, Rathie and Pogany established thirty two novel and general reductions of two and three variables generalized hypergeometric functions. In this paper we provide twenty four further novel and general reduction formulas. The results are established by the application of Beta and Gamma integral methods to the three identities involving products of generalized hypergeometric functions obtained earlier by Kim and Rathie. As special cases, we mention some interest...

A simple proof of a new summation formula for a terminating r+3Fr+2(1) hypergeometric series, representing an extension of Saalschutz's formula for a 3F2(1) series, is given for the case of r pairs of numeratorial and denominatorial parameters differing by positive integers. Two applications of this extended summation theorem are discussed. The first application extends two identities given by Ramanujan and the second, which also employs a similar extension of the Vandermond...

In this paper, we aim to obtain a representation of Humbert's hy- pergeometric function in a series of Gauss's function 2F1. A few interesting results have also been deduced as special case of our main findings.

Integral representations of hypergeometric functions proved to be a very useful tool for studying their properties. The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we extend the known representations to arbitrary values of the parameters and show that the extended representations can be interpreted as examples of regularizations of integrals containing Meijer's $G$ function. Second, we give new applications of both, known and extended representations. These include: inverse fact...

From the algebraic solution of $x^{n}-x+t=0$ for $n=2,3,4$ and the corresponding solution in terms of hypergeometric functions, we obtain a set of reduction formulas for hypergeometric functions. By differentiation and integration of these results, and applying other known reduction formulas of hypergeometric functions, we derive new reduction formulas of special functions as well as the calculation of some infinite integrals in terms of elementary functions.

This paper will be replaced later by a revised version.

Given the growing quantity of proposals and works of basic hypergeometric functions in the scope of $q$-calculus, it is important to introduce a systematic classification of $q$-calculus. Our aim in this article is to investigate certain interesting several $q$-partial derivative formulas, $q$-contiguous function relations, $q$-recurrence relations, various $q$-partial differential equations, summation formulas, transformation formulas and $q$-integrals representations for ba...

The double hypergeometric Kamp\'e de F\'eriet series $F^{0:3}_{1:1}(1,1)$ depends upon 9 complex parameters. We present three cases with 2 relations between those 9 parameters, and show that under these circumstances $F^{0:3}_{1:1}(1,1)$ can be written as a ${}_4F_3(1)$ series. Some limiting cases of these transformation formulas give rise to new summation results for special $F^{0:3}_{1:1}(1,1)$'s. The actual transformation results arose out of the study of 9-$j$ coefficient...

The umbral restyling of hypergeometric functions is shown to be a useful and efficient approach in simplifying the associated computational technicalities. In this article, the authors provide a general introduction to the umbral version of Gauss hypergeometric functions and extend the formalism to certain generalized forms of these functions. It is shown that suggested approach is particularly efficient for evaluating integrals involving hypergeometric functions and their co...

This is the typewritten version of a handwritten manuscript which was completed by Ian G. Macdonald in 1987 or 1988. It is the sequel to the manuscript "Hypergeometric functions I." The two manuscripts are very informal working papers, never intended for formal publication. Nevertheless, copies of the manuscripts have circulated widely, giving rise to quite a few citations in the subsequent 25 years. Therefore it seems justified to make the manuscripts available for the whole...
