We give a new method to prove in a uniform and easy way various transformation formulas for Gauss hypergeometric functions. The key is Jacobi's canonical form of the hypergeometric differential equation. Analogy for $q$-hypergeometric…

On the space of positive definite matrices we consider distance functions of the form $d(A,B)=\left[\tr\mathcal{A}(A,B)-\tr\mathcal{G}(A,B)\right]^{1/2},$ where $\mathcal{A}(A,B)$ is the arithmetic mean and $\mathcal{G}(A,B)$ is one of the…

This paper systematically investigates the absolute monotonicity of two function families associated with the Gaussian hypergeometric function $F(a, b; c; x)$ (where $a,b,c\in\mathbb{R}_+$): $\mathcal{F}_p(x)=(1-x)^pF(a,b;c;x)$ and…

We discuss some of the mathematical properties of the fractional derivative defined by means of Fourier transforms. We first consider its action on the set of test functions $\Sc(\mathbb R)$, and then we extend it to its dual set,…

We construct a class of representations of the quadratic $R$-matrix algebra given by the reflection equation with the spectral parameter, $$ R{\,}(u-v)\,T^{(1)}(u)\,R{\,}(u+v)\,T^{(2)}(v)= T^{(2)}(v)\,R{\,}(u+v)\,T^{(1)}(u)\,R{\,}(u-v), $$…

Kummer's function, also known as the confluent hypergeometric function (CHF), is an important mathematical function, in particular due to its many special cases, which include the Bessel function, the incomplete Gamma function and the error…

Integral representations of hypergeometric functions proved to be a very useful tool for studying their properties. The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we extend the known representations to arbitrary values of the parameters and…

We study a hyperbolic type metric $h_{G,c}$ introduced by Dovgoshey, Hariri, and Vuorinen. We find the best constant $c>0$, for which this function $h_{G,c}$ is a metric in specific choices of $G$. We give several sharp inequalities between…
