The Lie theory of hypergeometric functions arising from \((1-\sum^ k_{i=1}z_ i)^ \lambda(1-\sum^ r_{j=k+1}z_ j)^ -\lambda\) (Q1206957): Difference between revisions

The authors study the \(r\)-fold Euler transformation of the functions given in the title, where \(z_ i=u_ i x_ i\) and the \(u_ i\) are the integration variables. Various families of multivariable hypergeometric functions arise in the transforms, depending on the number of parameters chosen and the integration paths. The authors show that in appropriate coordinates each of the transforms is a solution of a system of wave equations. Furthermore, the recurrence relations obeyed by the kernel induce recurrence relations and generating functions for the transforms.
