Simple connections between generalized hypergeometric series and dilogarithms

Connections between the Generalized Marcum Q-Function and a class of Hypergeometric Functions

This paper presents a new connection between the generalized Marcum-Q function and the confluent hypergeometric function of two variables, Φ3. This result is then applied to the closed-form characterization of the bivariate Nakagami-m distribution and of the distribution of the minimum eigenvalue of correlated non-central Wishart matrices, both important in communication theory. New expressions...

Multiple Hypergeometric Series – Appell Series and Beyond

This survey article (which will appear as a chapter in the book “Computer Algebra in Quantum Field Theory: Integration, Summation and Special Functions”, Springer-Verlag) provides a small collection of basic material on multiple hypergeometric series of Appell-type and of more general series of related type.

Gaussian Hypergeometric series and supercongruences

Let p be an odd prime. In 1984, Greene introduced the notion of hypergeometric functions over finite fields. Special values of these functions have been of interest as they are related to the number of Fp points on algebraic varieties and to Fourier coefficients of modular forms. In this paper, we explicitly determine these functions modulo higher powers of p and discuss an application to super...

Rook Theory and Hypergeometric Series

The number of ways of placing k non-attacking rooks on a Ferrers board is expressed as a hypergeometric series, of a type originally studied by Karlsson and Minton. Known transformation identities for series of this type translate into new theorems about rook polynomials.
