Generalized Hypergeometric Functions: Transformations and group theoretical aspects - Paperback

by K. Srinivasa Rao (Author), Vasudevan Lakshminarayanan (Author)

Generalized Hypergeometric Functions explores the way in which hypergeometric functions are interlinked with special functions, and it uses group theory to illustrate these relationships. The application of group theory to the study of special functions is a relatively new approach to the subject area. It is a departure from most of the standard text books, which deal with the special functions as disjointed chapters, with each chapter dealing with the properties of the given special function.
