In this note we state (with minor corrections) and give an alternative proof of a very general hypergeometric transformation formula due to Slater. As an application, we obtain a new hypergeometric transformation formula for a ${}_5F_4(-1)$ series with one pair of parameters differing by unity expressed as a linear combination of two ${}_3F_2(1)$ series.
In this note, we aim to provide generalizations of (i) Knuths old sum (or Reed Dawson identity) and (ii) Riordans identity using a hypergeometric series approach.
The velocity potential in the Kelvin ship-wave source can be partly expressed in terms of space derivatives of the single integral [F(x,rho,alpha)=int_{-infty}^infty exp,[-frac{1}{2}rho cosh (2u-ialpha)] cos (xcosh u),du,] where $(x, rho, alpha)$ are cylindrical polar coordinates with origin based at the source and $-pi/2leqalphaleqpi/2$. An asymptotic expansion of $F(x,rho,alpha)$ when $x$ and $rho$ are small, but such that $Mequiv x^2/(4rho)$ is large, was given using a non-rigorous approach by Bessho in 1964 as a sum involving products of Bessel functions. This expansion, together with an additional integral term, was subsequently proved by Ursell in 1988. Our aim here is to present an alternative asymptotic procedure for the case of large $M$. The resulting expansion consists of three distinct parts: a convergent sum involving the Struve functions, an asymptotic series and an exponentially small saddle-point contribution. Numerical computations are carried out to verify the accuracy of our expansion.
Using generalized hypergeometric functions to perform symbolic manipulation of equations is of great importance to pure and applied scientists. There are in the literature a great number of identities for the Meijer-G function. On the other hand, when more complex expressions arise, the latter function is not capable of representing them. The H-function is an alternative to overcome this issue, as it is a generalization of the Meijer-G function. In the present paper, a new identity for the H-function is derived. In short, this result enables one to split a particular H-function into the sum of two other H-functions. The new relation in addition to an old result are applied to the summation of hypergeometric series. Finally, some relations between H-functions and elementary functions are built
We will introduce a modified system of A-hypergeometric system (GKZ system) by applying a change of variables for Groebner deformations and study its Groebner basis and the indicial polynomials along the exceptional hypersurface.
A simple proof of Ramanujans formula for the Fourier transform of the square of the modulus of the Gamma function restricted to a vertical line in the right half-plane is given. The result is extended to vertical lines in the left half-plane by solving an inhomogeneous ODE. We then use it to calculate the jump across the imaginary axis.
