On a family of symmetric hypergeometric functions of several variables and their Euler type integral representation (Q2445309)

The authors consider a generalized hypergeometric series belonging to the Appell-Lauricella family of multiple series. The authors' generalized series can also be considered as an example of Gelfand-Kapranov-Zelevinsky's A-hypergeometric functions related to Aomoto's theory of hypergeometric functions. A recurrence relation for the new series is obtained, and as a result, a representation in terms of multiple Euler-type integrals is also pointed out. Two particular cases of the new series are examined in detail.
