Computing the hypergeometric function

From MaRDI portal





The Gauss hypergeometric function \({}_2F_1(a,b;c;x)\) is computed for real values of the variables \(a, b, c\) and \(x\). Transformation formulas are used to give a suitable \(x-\)interval for the power series. Great care is taken for the divergences that occur for certain values of \(a, b\) and \(c\) in the transformations. Chebyshev expansions are used for gamma functions and for certain combinations of gamma functions. Details of a Fortran program are given.
