An Elementary Approach to the Gauss Hypergeometric Function
نویسنده
چکیده
We give an introduction to the Gauss hypergeometric function, the hypergeometric equation and their properties in an elementary way. Moreover we explicitly and uniformly describe the connection coefficients, the reducibility of the equation and the monodromy group of the solutions.

متن کاملTransformations of Gauss hypergeometric functions
The paper classifies algebraic transformations of Gauss hypergeometric functions and pull-back transformations between hypergeometric differential equations. This classification recovers the classical transformations of degree 2, 3, 4, 6, and finds other transformations of some special classes of the Gauss hypergeometric function.

متن کاملA procedure for generating infinite series identities
A procedure for generating infinite series identities makes use of the generalized method of exhaustion by analytically evaluating the inner series of the resulting double summation. Identities are generated involving both elementary and special functions. Infinite sums of special functions include those of the gamma and polygamma functions, the Hurwitz Zeta function, the polygamma function, th...
متن کاملA note on the summation of an infinite series involving a hypergeometric function
The mathematical properties of the generalized hypergeometric function are now well established, due largely to the efforts of Bailey, Watson, Slater, and many others. There are available a number of books on the subject ['], [6] which contain extensive bibliographies together with an outline of the history of the investigations. A large portion of the published work concerning these functions ...
