Integral representations and summations of the modified Struve function (Q2250850)

The paper is very well organized and includes many known special functions. The definitions of most of them are given in Section 1 and some of them are referred to the citations given in the paper, after a brief note. Such a well-written introduction makes it accessible. In Section 2, a modified Struve function is treated as Neumann series (refer to Equ. (1.2)) and an integral representation (claimed to be new by the authors) is given for the same. Six theorems of this section give different forms of integral representations. By invoking a Sonin-Gubler formula (1.1), in Section 3, convergence conditions for the generalized Schlömilch series (see Equ. (1.4) and [\textit{O. X. Schlömilch}, ``Über die Bessel'sche Funktion'', Z. Math. Phys. 2, 137--165 (1857)]) are established. In the same section, the definition given in (1.1), has produced an integral representation, given by Theorem 8, for a specific Kapteyn-type series defined by (1.3). This concerns a hypergeometric integral which is integrated by using a Schlömilch series of modified Bessel and modified Struve functions (see [Schlömilch, loc. cit.; \textit{G. N. Watson}, A treatise on the theory of Bessel functions. Cambridge: University Press (1922; JFM 48.0412.02)]). In Theorem 9 of Section 4, the Kapteyn series, formed by the modified Bessel functions of the first kind and modified Struve functions, given by (1.3), are considered to establish a double integral formula for the series. Further, a second-order non-homogenous ordinary differential equation is solved whose particular solution is (1.3), see Theorem 10. The authors conclude this section by a summation of Schlömilch series and a different type of integral representation for (1.7). A novel Brownwich-Wagner line integral representation for the Bessel function is obtained in Section 5.
