Contiguous relations of hypergeometric series
نویسنده
چکیده
The 15 Gauss contiguous relations for 2F1 hypergeometric series imply that any three 2F1 series whose corresponding parameters differ by integers are linearly related (over the field of rational functions in the parameters). We prove several properties of coefficients of these general contiguous relations, and use the results to propose effective ways to compute contiguous relations. We also discuss contiguous relations of generalized and basic hypergeometric functions, and several applications of them.

A new integral solution of the hypergeometric equation
In this work we derive a new integral of the hypergeometric differential equation, valid for arbitrary parameters α, β, γ and which is expressed in terms of indefinite integrals. This leads to new types of relations between F (α, β, γ;x) and its contiguous functions : F (α, β, γ;x) can be related to only one of the functions contiguous to it.These equations enable one to extend the formulae giv...
متن کاملContiguous relations for 2F1 hypergeometric series
ess as: 2), http: athemat s.2012.0 Abstract Two Gauss functions are said to be contiguous if they are alike except for one pair of parameters, and these differ by unity. Contiguous relations are of great use in extending numerical tables of the function. In this paper we will introduce a new method for computing such types of relations. a 2012 Egyptian Mathematical Society. Production and hosti...
متن کاملHow Can We Escape Thomae’s Relations?
In 1879, Thomae discussed the relations between two generic hypergeometric 3F2-series with argument 1. It is well-known since then that there are 120 such relations (including the trivial ones which come from permutations of the parameters of the hypergeometric series). More recently, Rhin and Viola asked the following question (in a different, but equivalent language of integrals): If there ex...
متن کاملTransformations of algebraic Gauss hypergeometric functions
A celebrated theorem of Klein implies that any hypergeometric differential equation with algebraic solutions is a pull-back of one of the few standard hypergeometric equations with algebraic solutions. The most interesting cases are hypergeometric equations with tetrahedral, octahedral or icosahedral monodromy groups. We give an algorithm for computing Klein’s pull-back coverings in these cases...
متن کاملA generalization of Clausen’s identity
Abstract The paper aims to generalize Clausen’s identity to the square of any Gauss hypergeometric function. Accordingly, solutions of the related 3rd order linear differential equation are found in terms of certain bivariate series that can reduce to 3F2 series similar to those in Clausen’s identity. The general contiguous variation of Clausen’s identity is found. The related Chaundy’s identit...
