We find sets of solutions to the generalized spheroidal wave equation (GSWE) or, equivalently, to the confluent Heun equation. Each set is constituted by three solutions, one given by a series of ascending powers of the independent variable, and the others by series of regular and irregular confluent hypergeometric functions. For a fixed set, the solutions converge over different regions of the...

Recently, Bringmann and Kane established two new Bailey pairs and used them to relate certain q-hypergeometric series to real quadratic fields. We show how these pairs give rise to new mock theta functions in the form of q-hypergeometric double sums. Additionally, we prove an identity between one of these sums and two classical mock theta functions introduced by Gordon and McIntosh.

In his 1984 Ph.D. thesis, J. Greene defined an analogue of the Euler integral transform for finite field hypergeometric series. Here we consider a special family of matrices which arise naturally in the study of this transform and prove a conjecture of Ono about the decomposition of certain finite field hypergeometric functions into functions of lower dimension.

This paper provides transcendental and algebraic framework for the classification of identities expressing pi and other logarithms of algebraic numbers as rapidly convergent generalized hypergeometric series in rational parameters. Algebraic and arithmetic relations between values of p+1Fp hypergeometric functions and their values are analyzed. The existing identities are explained, and new exh...

In 1981, Andrews gave a four-variable generalization of Ramanujan's 1ψ1 summation formula. We establish six-variable Andrews' identity according to the transformation formula for two 8ϕ7 series and Bailey's three series. Then, it is used find reciprocity theorem, which different from Liu's derive generalizations 3ψ3 formulas in terms limiting relations another Based on relations, some results i...

Generalized hypergeometric series are of the form $$

General theory of elliptic hypergeometric series and integrals is outlined. Main attention is paid to the examples obeying properties of the “classical” special functions. In particular, an elliptic analogue of the Gauss hypergeometric function and some of its properties are described. Present review is based on author’s habilitation thesis [Spi7] containing a more detailed account of the subject.

In 1988, Andrews, Dyson and Hickerson initiated the study of q-hypergeometric series whose coefficients are dictated by the arithmetic in real quadratic fields. In this paper, we provide a dozen q-hypergeometric double sums which are generating functions for the number of ideals of a given norm in rings of integers of real quadratic fields and prove some related identities.
