A celebrated theorem of Klein implies that any hypergeometric differential equation with algebraic solutions is a pull-back of one of the few standard hypergeometric equations with algebraic solutions. The most interesting cases are…
We give closed forms for several families of Heun functions related to classical entropies. By comparing two expressions of the same Heun function, we get several combinatorial identities generalizing some classical ones.
We examine the power-series solutions and the series solutions in terms of the Hermite functions for the biconfluent Heun equation. Infinitely many cases for which a solution of the biconfluent equation is presented as an irreducible linear…
As a generalization of Riemann-Liouville integral, we introduce integral transformations of convergent power series which can be applied to hypergeometric functions with several variables.
By exploiting a recently developed connection between Heun's differential equation and the generalized associated Lam\'e equation, we not only recover the well known periodic solutions, but also obtain a large class of new, quasi-periodic…
A version of Liouville's theorem is proved for solutions of some degenerate elliptic equations defined in $\mathbb{R}^n\backslash K$, where $K$ is a compact set, provided the structure of this equation and the dimension $n$ are related.…
We give examples where the Heun function exists in general relativity. It turns out that while a wave equation written in the background of certain metric yields Mathieu functions as its solutions in four space-time dimensions, the trivial…
We study the linear Pfaffian systems satisfied by a certain class of hypergeometric functions, which includes Gau\ss's ${}_2 F_{1}$, Thomae's ${}_L F_{L-1}$ and Appell-Lauricella's $F_D$. In particular, we present a fundamental system of…
We consider some hypergeometric functions and prove that they are elementary functions. Consequently, the second order moments of Meyer-Konig and Zeller type operators are elementary functions. The higher order moments of these operators…
In this paper, usual Sturm-Liouville problems are extended for symmetric functions so that the corresponding solutions preserve the orthogonality property. Two basic examples, which are special cases of a generalized Sturm-Liouville…
In a recent paper we introduced sine functions on commutative hypergroups. These functions are natural generalizations of those functions on groups which are products of additive and multiplicative homomorphisms. In this paper we describe…
We describe the close connection between the linear system for the sixth Painlev\'e equation and the general Heun equation, formulate the Riemann-Hilbert problem for the Heun functions and show how, in the case of reducible monodromy, the…
This is a study of terminating and ill-defined Gauss hypergeometric functions. Corresponding hypergeometric equations have a degenerate set of of 24 Kummer's solutions. We describe those solutions and relations between them.
In the paper, the well-known quantum mechanical problem of a spin 1/2 particle in external Coulomb potential, reduced to a system of two first-order differential equations, is studied from the point of view of possible applications of the…
Starting from the equation obeyed by the derivative, we construct several expansions of the solutions of the general Heun equation in terms of the Appell generalized hypergeometric functions of two variables of the fist kind. Several cases…
In this paper we consider the confluent Heun equation, which is a linear differential equation of second order with three singular points --- two of them are regular and the third one is irregular of rank 1. The purpose of the work is to…
A formula for evaluating the quadratic normalization integrals of orthogonal Heun functions over the real interval 0 <= x <= 1 is derived using a simple limiting procedure based upon the associated differential equation. The resulting…
This paper examines some solutions for confluent and double-confluent Heun equations. In the first place, we review two Leaver's solutions in series of regular and irregular confluent hypergeometric functions for the confluent equation and…
In this paper, we apply the moving plane method to some degenerate elliptic equations to get a Liouville type theorem. As an application, we derive the a priori bounds for positive solutions of some semi-linear degenerate elliptic…
We obtain special solutions of the $q$-Heun equation which are expressed as finite summations of $q$-hypergeometric functions. These solutions are obtained by considering the $q$-integral transformations of the polynomial-type solutions.
