The well-known Kummer's formula evaluates the hypergeometric series 2F1(A,B;C;-1) when the relation B-A+C=1 holds. This paper deals with evaluation of 2F1(-1) series in the case when C-A+B is an integer. Such a series is expressed as a sum…
Euler defines a function f(x) somehow as an infinite product and a generalization of [x], where [x] ist, what we now call following Legendre the Gamma-Funktion. He gets some recursive relationships for f(x), by applying some very nice…

We give a brief account and a simpler proof of a contour integral formula for the Gauss hypergeometric function. Such formula is alternative to Barnes's integral formula and generalizes the first Barnes Lemma.
Hyperbolic hypergeometric integrals are defined as Barnes-type integrals of products of hyperbolic gamma functions. Their reduction to ordinary hypergeometric functions is well known. We study in detail their degeneration to complex…
