We obtain convergent inverse factorial expansions for the sum $S_n(a,b;c)$ of the first $n$ terms of the Gauss hypergeometric function of unit argument valid for $n\geq 1$. The form of these expansions depends on the location of the…
We find transformations of variables which preserve the form of the equation for the kernels of integral relations among solutions of the Heun equation. These transformations lead to new kernels for the Heun equation, given by single…
The Gauss hypergeometric functions 2F1 with arbitrary values of parameters are reduced to two functions with fixed values of parameters, which differ from the original ones by integers. It is shown that in the case of integer and/or…
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 give a systematic and unified discussion of various classes of hypergeometric type equations: the hypergeometric equation, the confluent equation, the F_1 equation (equivalent to the Bessel equation), the Gegenbauer equation and the…
A new bi-parametric $su(1,1)$ algebraization of the Heun class of equations is explored. This yields additional quasi-polynomial solutions of the form $\{z^{\alpha}P_N(z): \ \alpha \in \mathbb{C}, \ N \in \mathbb{N}_0\}$ to the General Heun…
Two-term recurrence relations are supplied for indefinite integrals of functions that involve factors of the types ${P_2}^n$, ${P_3}^n$, ${P_4}^n$, ${P_1}^m {Q_1}^n$, $E_1 {P_1}^n$, ${P_1}^m {Q_2}^n$, $E_1 {P_2}^n$, ${P_2}^m {Q_2}^n$,…
We discuss the level-crossing field configurations for which the quantum time-dependent two-state problem is solvable in terms of the confluent Heun functions. We show that these configurations belong to fifteen four-parametric families of…
The Heun's equation is the Fuchsian equation of second order with four regular singularities. Heun functions generalize well-known special functions such as Spheroidal Wave, Lam\'{e}, Mathieu, hypergeometric-type functions, etc. The…
Using contiguous relations we construct an infinite number of continued fraction expansions for ratios of generalized hypergeometric series 3F2(1). We establish exact error term estimates for their approximants and prove their rapid…
We study confluent A-hypergeometric functions introduced by Adolphson. In particular, we give their integral representations by using rapid decay homology cycles of Hien and obtain a formula for the asymptotic expansions at infinity of…
The present article reveals important properties of the confluent Heun's functions. We derive a set of novel relations for confluent Heun's functions and their derivatives of arbitrary order. Specific new subclasses of confluent Heun's…
It is proved that the Laurent expansion of the following Gauss hypergeometric functions, 2F1(I1+a*epsilon, I2+b*ep; I3+c*epsilon;z), 2F1(I1+a*epsilon, I2+b*epsilon;I3+1/2+c*epsilon;z), 2F1(I1+1/2+a*epsilon, I2+b*epsilon; I3+c*epsilon;z),…
In this paper, we introduce a new function, the multiple confluent hypergeometric functions, and establish a functional equation for the $r$-variable Euler--Zagier multiple zeta functions using it. In the case when $r=2$, this functional…
Recently, Chan, Cooper and Sica conjectured two congruences for coefficients of classical 2F1 hypergeometric series which also arise from power series expansions of modular forms in terms of modular functions. We prove these two congruences…
