What is the Laplace transform of : $t^{\gamma-1} F(\alpha,\beta,\delta,t)$, where $\gamma >0 $ and $F$ is the Gauss' hypergeometric function.

Thanks!

  • $\begingroup$ Have you tried the Euler integral representation of the hypergeometric function? This will assume $\delta-\beta-\gamma>0$. $\endgroup$

There is an explicit formula in the book: A.P. Prudnikov, Yu.A. Brychkov, O.I. Marichev. INTEGRALS AND SERIES, Volume 4. Direct Laplace Transforms. GORDON AND BREACH, 1992.

It is on the page 533 and is in terms of $_{2}F_{2}$ hypergeometric function. For special values of parameters for sure it can be simplified using the same book volume 3.

    $\begingroup$ Any Idea if I need to compute $\int_{d}^{\infty}e^{-st}t^{\gamma-1}F(\alpha,\beta,\delta,t)dt$ where $d>0$? $\endgroup$
