Hypergeometric Definition and 77 Threads

I have been working with some Hypergeometric functions whose behavior I am not quite familiar with. Suppose the equation I wish to analyze is ##p(x) = (e^{x}-1)^{2i}\left({}_{2}F_{1}(a,b;c;e^{x}) + {}_{2}F_{1}(a+1,b+1;c+1;e^{x})\right)## where ##a,b,c## are all complex valued and we have...

I believe it is the case that any linear second order ode with at most 3 regular singular points can be transformed into a hypergeometric function. I am trying to solve the following equation for a(x): where E, m, v, k_{y} are all constants and I believe turning it into hypergeometric form will...

I am aware that hypergeometric type differential equations of the type: can be solved e.g. by means of Mellin transforms when σ(s) is at most a 2nd-degree polynomial and τ(s) is at most 1st-degree, and λ is a constant. I'm trying to reproduce the method for the case where λ is not constant...

Dear friends: It's strange that Mathematica can do the integral of ##\int_0^\infty dx~x~_2F_1(a,b,c,1-x^2)##, however, fails when it's changed to ##\int_0^\infty dx~x~_2F_1(a,b,c,1-x-x^2)##. Are there any major differences between this two types? Is it possible to do the second kind of integral...

The hypergeometric function, ##{}_{2}F_1(a,b,c;z)## can be written in terms of a power series in ##z## as follows, $${}_{2}F_1(a,b,c;z) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(a)_n (b)_n}{(c)_n} \frac{z^n}{n!}\,\,\,\,\,\text{provided}\,\,\,\,|z|<1$$ So we may reexpress any hypergeometric function as a...
