Reduction of a class of Fox-Wright Psi functions for certain rational parameters

From MaRDI portal





It is well known that the Fox-Wright Psi function \({}_p\Psi_q\) is a special case of Fox's \(H\)-function and a generalization of the generalized hypergeometric function. In the present paper the authors show that the Psi function reduces to a single generalized hypergeometric function when certain of its parameters are integers and to a finite sum of generalized hypergeometric functions when these parameters are rational numbers. Applications to the solution of algebraic trinomial equations and to a problem in information theory are provided. A connection with Meijer's \(G\)-function is also discussed.
