We consider summations over digamma and polygamma functions, often with summands of the form (\pm 1)^n\psi(n+p/q)/n^r and (\pm 1)^n\psi^{(m)} (n+p/q)/n^r, where m, p, q, and r are positive integers. We develop novel general integral…
This paper deals with the evaluation of some definite Euler-type integrals in terms of the Wright hypergeometric function. We obtain a theorem on the Wright hypergeometric function and then use this theorem to evaluate some definite…
The present note considers a certain family of sums indexed by the set of fixed length compositions of a given number. The sums in question cannot be realized as weighted compositions. However they can be be related to the hypergeometric…
In this paper, the versions of trigonometric functions of certain known inequalities for hyperbolic ones are proved, and then corresponding inequalities for means are presented.
We have found several summation formulas that extend Ramanujan's psi sum. First contains a parameter $\alpha=1/N$, $N$ is a positive integer, and transforms to $q$-beta integral in the limit $N\to\infty$. The other is a $q$-analogue of…
This paper studies the log-convexity of the extended beta functions. As a consequence, Tur\'an-type inequalities are established.The monotonicity, log-convexity, log-concavity of extended hypergeometric functions are deduced by using the…
In these lecture notes I give an elementary introduction to elliptic hypergeometric functions. I focus on motivating the main ideas and constructions, rather than giving a comprehensive survey. The lectures include a brief explanation of…
Several expansions of the solutions to the confluent Heun equation in terms of incomplete Beta functions are constructed. A new type of expansion involving certain combinations of the incomplete Beta functions as expansion functions is…
The objective of this short note is to provide two closed-form evaluations for the generalized hypergeometric function $_4F_3$ of the argument $\frac1{16}$. This is achieved by means of separating a generalized hypergeometric function…
The non-elementary integrals $\text{Si}_{\beta,\alpha}=\int [\sin{(\lambda x^\beta)}/(\lambda x^\alpha)] dx,\beta\ge1,\alpha\le\beta+1$ and $\text{Ci}_{\beta,\alpha}=\int [\cos{(\lambda x^\beta)}/(\lambda x^\alpha)] dx, \beta\ge1,…
In this paper the authors investigate a power mean inequality for a special function which is defined by the complete elliptic integrals.
We elaborate on the expansion of hypergeometric functions about rational parameters, where we focus mainly on the integer and half-integer case. The strategy and the basic steps of a recently developed algorithm for the expansion about…
Special functions are often defined as a Fourier or Laplace transform of a positive measure, and the positivity of the measure manifests as positive definiteness of certain matrices. The purpose of this expository note is to give a sample…
The special case of the hypergeometric function $_{2}F_{1}$ represents the binomial series $(1+x)^{\alpha}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(\:\alpha n\:)x^{n}$ that always converges when $|x|<1$. Convergence of the series at the endpoints, $x=\pm 1$,…
We evaluate the sum of Gauss hypergeometric functions \[S(\mu,c;x)=\sum_{k\geq 0} \bl(\frac{1-x}{1+\mu}\br)^k\,{}_2F_1(\fs k+\fs, \fs k+1;c;x)\] for $x\in [-1,1]$ and positive parameters $\mu$ and $c$. The domain of absolute convergence of…
Applying the approach based on the equation for the derivative, we construct several expansions of the solutions of the general Heun equation in terms of the incomplete Beta functions. Several expansions in terms of the Appell generalized…
We prove that certain functions involving ratios of Gamma functions and the Psi-function belong to generalized Bernstein classes and new properties of generalized Bernstein functions are given.
The univariate elliptic beta integral is represented as a bilinear combination of infinite $_{10}V_9$ very-well-poised elliptic hypergeometric series representing the sum of residues of the integrand poles. Convergence of this combination…
We consider convexity and monotonicity properties for some functions related to the $q$-gamma function. As applications, we give a variety of inequalities for the $q$-gamma function, the $q$-digamma function $\psi_q(x)$, and the $q$-series.…
In this paper, we establish some new inequalities for class of SX(h,I) convex functions which are supermultiplicative or superadditive and nonnegative. And we also give some applications for special means.
