Hypergeometric functions are the analytic functions defined by Taylor expansions of the shape $\sum_{n \geq 0} a_n x^n$, where $a_{n+1}/a_n$ is a rational function of $n$. This general family of functions encompasses many classical functions. The hypergeometric functions play an important role in many parts of mathematics.

Hypergeometric function evaluation 4F3

From https://dlmf.nist.gov/15.4 one has $$ \sum_{k=0}^n\frac{(1/3)_k(-1/3)_k}{k!(1/2)_k}(-z^2)^k=\frac{1}{2}\left(\left(\sqrt{1+z^{2}}+% z\right)^{2/3}+\left(\sqrt{1+z^{2}}-z\right)^{2/3}\right) $$ an …

On $x^k+y^k=1$ and the Dixonian elliptic functions

Define the generalized trigonometic functions (discussion of these functions is given in this answer) $$ z=\int_0^{\sin_{pr}z}\frac{dt}{\sqrt[p]{1-t^r}},\qquad \cos_{pr}z=\sqrt[r]{1-(\sin_{pr}z)^r},\q …

Double Series involving Gamma function

This problem can be reduced at least formally to a compact double integral, which might be easier to solve. Starting with the integral representation for the Gamma function, we write the double sum a …

Yet another real-rooted polynomial

First, we write the polynomial in hypergeometric form $$ Q_{m,n}(t)=\frac{(-1)^{m+n+1} \Gamma (m+n-t+1) }{\Gamma (-t) \Gamma (m+n+2)}\, _3F_2\left({-m,-n,m+n-t+1\atop 1,-t};1\right). $$ Applying Thoma …
