We perform the analytic continuation of solutions to the hypergeometric differential equation of order $n$ to the third regular singularity, usually denoted $z=1$, with the help of recurrences of their Mellin--Barnes integral…
It is widely believed that the continued fraction expansion of every irrational algebraic number $\alpha$ either is eventually periodic (and we know that this is the case if and only if $\alpha$ is a quadratic irrational), or it contains…
A continued fraction $v(\tau)$ of Ramanujan is evaluated at certain arguments in the field $K = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-d})$, with $-d \equiv 1$ (mod $8$), in which the ideal $(2) = \wp_2 \wp_2'$ is a product of two prime ideals. These values of…
The inspiral of two compact objects in gravitational wave astronomy is described by a post-Newtonian expansion in powers of $(v/c)$. In most cases, it is believed that the post-Newtonian expansion is asymptotically divergent. A standard…
We use the rationality of the generalized $h^{th}$ convergent functions, $Conv_h(\alpha, R; z)$, to the infinite J-fraction expansions enumerating the generalized factorial product sequences, $p_n(\alpha, R) =…
We establish new combinatorial transcendence criteria for continued fraction expansions. Let $\alpha = [0; a_1, a_2,...]$ be an algebraic number of degree at least three. One of our criteria implies that the sequence of partial quotients…
Two divergent series in Entry 7 of Gauss's diary are extended systematically by introducing additional parameters. Rogers-Fine identities, Ramanujan's continued fractions and Heine's transformation relations of basic hypergeometric series…
The finite families of biorthogonal rational functions and orthogonal polynomials of Hahn type are interpreted algebraically in a unified way by considering the three-generated meta Hahn algebra and its finite-dimensional representations.…
Mathematical functions, which often appear in mathematical analysis, are referred to as special functions and have been studied over hundreds of years. Many books and dictionaries are available that describe their properties and serve as a…
A convolution approach leading to an explicit computation of a value of a 4F3 function is outlined. We also investigate about the role of the dilogarithm reflection formula, leading to a remarkable consequence: in some cases, values of 4F3…
Hypergeometric functions over finite fields were introduced by Greene in the 1980s as a finite field analogue of classical hypergeometric series. These functions, and their generalizations, naturally lend themselves to, and have been widely…
We present a conspicuous number of indefinite integrals involving Heun functions and their products obtained by means of the Lagrangian formulation of a general homogeneous linear ordinary differential equation. As a by-product we also…
The study of combinatorial properties of mathematical objects is a very important research field and continued fractions have been deeply studied in this sense. However, multidimensional continued fractions, which are a generalization…
Several new $q$-supercongruences are obtained using transformation formulas for basic hypergeometric series, together with various techniques such as suitably combining terms, and creative microscoping, a method recently developed by the…
Our main result is that any real cubic algebraic number has a continued fraction expansion with polynomial coefficients. Some generalizations are mentioned.
Several conjectural continued fractions found with the help of various algorithms are published in this paper.
This is a review of ($q$-)hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials and their relation to representation theory of quantum groups, to matrix models, to integrable theory, and to knot theory. We discuss both continuous and discrete orthogonal…
A relaxed factorization is used to obtain many of the properties obeyed by the confluent hypergeometric functions. Their implications on the analytical solutions of some interesting physical problems are also studied. It is quite remarkable…
The theoretical computing of special values assumed by the hypergeometric functions has a high interest not only on its own, but also in sight of the remarkable implications to both pure Mathematics and Mathematical Physics. Accordingly, in…
For any additive functor from modules (or, more generally, from an abelian category with enough projectives or injectives), we construct long sequences tying up together the derived functors, the satellites, and the stabilizations of the…
