Abstract: The generalized hypergeometric function

_{q} F_{p}

is a power series in which the ratio of successive terms is a rational function of the summation index. The Gaussian hypergeometric functions

_{2} F_{1}

and

_{3} F_{2}

are most common special cases of the generalized hypergeometric function

_{q} F_{p}

. The Appell hypergeometric functions

F_{q}

,

q = 1, 2, 3, 4

are product of two hypergeometric functions

_{2} F_{1}

that appear in many areas of mathematical physics. Here, we are interested in the Appell hypergeometric function

F_{2}

which is known to have a double integral representation. As demonstrated by Opps, Saad, and Srivastava (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 302 (2005) 180-195), the double integral representation of

F_{2}

can be reduced to a single integral that can be easily evaluated for certain values of the parameters in terms of

_{2} F_{1}

and

_{3} F_{2}

. Using many of the reduction formulas of

_{2} F_{1}

and

_{3} F_{2}

and the representation of

F_{2}

in terms of a single integral, we have begun to tabulate new reduction formulas for

F_{2}

.
