Complex Appell-Bessel functions and their degenerate analogs (Q2680740)

The complex Appell-Bessel functions, denoted by \({}_AJ_m(z)\), are defined by means of the following generating equation: \[ A\left(\frac{1}{2}\left(\omega-\frac{1}{\omega}\right)\right) e^{(z/2)(\omega-1/\omega)} = \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty} {}_AJ_m(z) \omega^m, \quad z=\mu+i \nu \in \mathbb{C},\ \mu, \nu, \in \mathbb{R}. \] Moreover, for \(\mu, \nu, \in \mathbb{R}\), the cosine-Appell-Bessel functions \({}_AJ_m^{(c)}(\mu,\nu)\) and the the sine-Appell-Bessel functions \({}_AJ_m^{(s)}(\mu,\nu)\) are defined as \begin{align*} A\left(\frac{1}{2}\left(\omega-\frac{1}{\omega}\right)\right) e^{(\mu/2)(\omega-1/\omega)} \cos\left(\frac{\nu}{2}(\omega-1/\omega)\right) &= \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty} {}_A J_m^{(c)}(\mu,\nu) \omega^m, \\ A\left(\frac{1}{2}\left(\omega-\frac{1}{\omega}\right)\right) e^{(\mu/2)(\omega-1/\omega)} \sin\left(\frac{\nu}{2}(\omega-1/\omega)\right) &= \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty} {}_A J_m^{(s)}(\mu,\nu) \omega^m, \end{align*} respectively, so \({}_AJ_m(z) = {}_AJ_m^{(c)}(\mu,\nu) + i\, {}_AJ_m^{(s)}(\mu,\nu)\). The paper studies certain properties of these functions, including integral representations, addition formulas and differential recurrence relations. Further, the degenerate complex Appell-Bessel functions are defined and investigated, and some results for degenerate cosine-Appell-Bessel and degenerate sine-Appell-Bessel functions are obtained. Jacobi-Anger expansions for complex Appell-Bessel functions and degenerate complex Appell-Bessel functions are also explored.
