I was dealing with a convolution type integral $$ \int^z_0 t^m {}_0F_1(;1;-t) \: {}_2F_3\Big( 1,1;2,m,m+1 ; -a t\Big) \:\mathrm{d}t $$ By applying one of the identities in Exton's …

I was wondering if there is a generalization of the integral discussed here to a case like, \begin{equation}\int \frac{d^dq}{q^{\nu_1}\vert \vec{q} \pm \vec{k}_1\vert ^{\nu_2}\ver …

I encountered this quantity in my calculations and tried to simplify it. Approximate numeric calculations suggested it could be zero (more precisely, it is certainly less than $10^ …

Find a (presumably, generalized hypergeometric-based function $f(n,a,k)$), yielding for $n=1, a=\frac{1}{2}$,the rational function (ratio of fifth-degree polynomials) \begin{equati …

Define harmonic numbers for a complex argument $z$ as $H_z=\frac{\Gamma'(z+1)}{\Gamma(z+1)}-\Gamma'(1)$. For $n\in\mathbb{N}$, $H_n$ are usual harmonic numbers $\sum^n_{k=1} k^{-1 …

Let $m,k$ be positive integers with $k\le m$. Does anyone know some hypergeometric identities that imply $$\sum_{j=0}^k\frac{(-1/2)_{k-j}(m+1)_j(-m)_j}{(1/2)_j(k-j)!j!} =\frac{(-m …

Let $\theta$ denote the usual Jacobi Theta function (with auxiliary parameter $\tau = i$, for simplicity), i.e. $$ \theta(z) = \sum_{n \in \mathbb{Z}} \exp(-\pi (a + n)^2 + 2 \pi …

I would be very grateful for any ideas to find a closed form for the sum: $$ \sum^\infty_{k=0} \frac{z^k}{\Gamma(1+k) \Gamma(k+m+1)} {}_1F_2\left(1;1+k,m+k;z\right) $$ where …

According to this Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whittaker_model Whittaker models are called that way because Jacquet pointed out that Whittaker functions appear …

The Jacobi triple product and the mathematical identity of it is: $$\prod\limits_{n=1}^{ \infty }(1-q^{2n})(1+zq^{2n-1})(1+z^{-1}q^{2n-1})=\sum\limits_{n = - \infty }^ \infty z^n …

In the context of the Bingham probability distribution the ${ }_1F_1$ hypergeometric function of matrix argument naturally arises as a normalization constant of the probability dis …

In the book I am reading they write that for Hurwitz zeta function, $\zeta(x,s)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{(x+n)^s}$, the next sum in the RHS converges for $\Re(s)>-1$, and I don …

The following problem has a beautiful geometric interpretation in terms of the proportion of points on the Euclidean sphere in $\mathbb{R}^d$ that lie at least a certain distance a …

In the paper E. Mehlum, Appell and the apple (nonlinear splines in space), Technical Report No. 1676 (1981), Central institute for industrial research, Oslo (reproduced in the book …

Any ideas how to find a closed form for the sum given by: $$ \sum^\infty_{n=0} \frac{1}{n!} \frac{a^n b^{n+m}}{(m+n)^2 \Gamma(m+n)} {}_2F_2 \left(m+n,m+n;m+n+1,m+n+1;-b\right) $$ …
