Three-Term Relations for 3F2(1)

Classical Analysis and ODEs 2017-09-05 v2

Abstract

For the hypergeometric function of unit argument 3F2(1) we prove the existence and uniqueness of three-term relations with arbitrary integer shifts. We show that not only the original 3F2(1) function but also other five functions related to it satisfy one and the same three-term relation. This fact is referred to as simultaneousness. The uniqueness and simultaneousness provide three-term relations with a group symmetry of order 72.
