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

We obtain addition formulas for $_{p}F_{p}$ and $_{p+1}F_{p}$ generalized hypergeometric functions with general parameters. These are utilized in conjunction with integral representations of these functions to derive Kummer- and Euler-type transformations that express $_{p}F_{p}\left(x\right)$ and $_{p+1}F_p\left(x\right)$ in the form of sums of $_{p}F_{p}\left(-x\right)$ and $_{p+1}F_p\left(-x\right)$ functions, respectively.

The main object of this work is to show how some rather elementary techniques based upon certain inverse pairs of symbolic operators would lead us easily to several decomposition formulas associated with confluent hypergeometric functions of two and more variables. Many operator identities involving these pairs of symbolic operators are first constructed for this purpose. By means of these operator identities several decomposition formulas are found, which express the aforeme...

This survey article (which will appear as a chapter in the book ``Computer Algebra in Quantum Field Theory: Integration, Summation and Special Functions'', Springer-Verlag) provides a small collection of basic material on multiple hypergeometric series of Appell-type and of more general series of related type.

In this paper we continue investigation of the hypergeometric function ${}_4F_3(1)$ as the function of its seven parameters. We deduce several reduction formulas for this function under additional conditions that one of the top parameters exceeds one of the bottom parameters by a positive integer or reversely one of the bottom parameters exceeds one of the top parameters by a positive integer or both. We show that all such cases reduce to the case of the unit parameter differ...

The aim of this research paper is to demonstrate how one can obtain eleven new and interesting hypergeometric identities (in the form of a single result) from the old ones by mainly applying the well known beta integral method which was used successfully and systematically by Krattenthaler and Rao in their well known, very interesting research papers. The results are derived with the help of generalization of a quadratic transformation formula due to Kummer very recently obta...

In 1797, Pfaff gave a simple proof of a ${}_3F_2$ hypergeometric series which was much later reproved by Andrews in 1996. In the same paper, Andrews also proved other well-known hypergeometric identities using Pfaff's method. In this paper, we prove a number of terminating $q$-hypergeometric series-product identities using Pfaff's method thereby providing a detailed account of its wide applicability.

The aim of this paper is to give, using some contiguous relations, the asymptotic behaviour of some linear combination of two symmetric contiguous hypergeometric functions, under some conditions of their parameters.

The main aim of the present work is to give some interesting the $q$-analogues of various $q$-recurrence relations, $q$-recursion formulas, $q$-partial derivative relations, $q$-integral representations, transformation and summation formulas for bibasic Humbert hypergeometric functions $\Psi_{1}$ and $\Psi_{2}$ on two independent bases $q$ and $p$ of two variables and some developments formulae, believed to be new, by using the conception of $q$-calculus. Finally, some intere...

HYPERDIRE is a project devoted to the creation of a set of Mathematica based programs for the differential reduction of hypergeometric functions. The current version includes two parts: one, pfq, is relevant for manipulations of hypergeometric functions_{p+1}F_p, and the second one, AppellF1F4, for manipulations with Appell hypergeometric functions F_1,F_2,F_3,F_4 of two variables.

We offer some summation formulas that appear to have great utility in probability theory. The proofs require some recent results from analysis that have thus far been applied to basic hypergeometric functions.
