Bilateral Hypergeometric Series
In mathematics, a bilateral hypergeometric series is a series Σ''a''''n'' summed over ''all'' integers ''n'', and such that the ratio :''a''''n''/''a''''n''+1 of two terms is a rational function of ''n''. The definition of the generalized hypergeometric series is similar, except that the terms with negative ''n'' must vanish; the bilateral series will in general have infinite numbers of non-zero terms for both positive and negative ''n''. The bilateral hypergeometric series fails to converge for most rational functions, though it can be analytically continued to a function defined for most rational functions. There are several summation formulas giving its values for special values where it does converge. Definition The bilateral hypergeometric series ''p''H''p'' is defined by :_pH_p(a_1,\ldots,a_p;b_1,\ldots,b_p;z)= _pH_p\left(\begina_1&\ldots&a_p\\b_1&\ldots&b_p\\ \end;z\right)= \sum_^\infty \fracz^n where :(a)_n=a(a+1)(a+2)\cdots(a+n-1)\, is the rising factorial or Pochh ...

Rational Function
In mathematics, a rational function is any function that can be defined by a rational fraction, which is an algebraic fraction such that both the numerator and the denominator are polynomials. The coefficients of the polynomials need not be rational numbers; they may be taken in any field . In this case, one speaks of a rational function and a rational fraction ''over ''. The values of the variables may be taken in any field containing . Then the domain of the function is the set of the values of the variables for which the denominator is not zero, and the codomain is . The set of rational functions over a field is a field, the field of fractions of the ring of the polynomial functions over . Definitions A function f is called a rational function if it can be written in the form : f(x) = \frac where P and Q are polynomial functions of x and Q is not the zero function. The domain of f is the set of all values of x for which the denominator Q(x) is not zero. How ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Generalized Hypergeometric Series
In mathematics, a generalized hypergeometric series is a power series in which the ratio of successive coefficients indexed by ''n'' is a rational function of ''n''. The series, if convergent, defines a generalized hypergeometric function, which may then be defined over a wider domain of the argument by analytic continuation. The generalized hypergeometric series is sometimes just called the hypergeometric series, though this term also sometimes just refers to the Gaussian hypergeometric series. Generalized hypergeometric functions include the (Gaussian) hypergeometric function and the confluent hypergeometric function as special cases, which in turn have many particular special functions as special cases, such as elementary functions, Bessel functions, and the classical orthogonal polynomials. Notation A hypergeometric series is formally defined as a power series :\beta_0 + \beta_1 z + \beta_2 z^2 + \dots = \sum_ \beta_n z^n in which the ratio of successive coefficients is ...

Rising Factorial
In mathematics, the falling factorial (sometimes called the descending factorial, falling sequential product, or lower factorial) is defined as the polynomial \begin (x)_n = x^\underline &= \overbrace^ \\ &= \prod_^n(x-k+1) = \prod_^(x-k) . \end The rising factorial (sometimes called the Pochhammer function, Pochhammer polynomial, ascending factorial, — A reprint of the 1950 edition by Chelsea Publishing. rising sequential product, or upper factorial) is defined as \begin x^ = x^\overline &= \overbrace^ \\ &= \prod_^n(x+k-1) = \prod_^(x+k) . \end The value of each is taken to be 1 (an empty product) when n=0. These symbols are collectively called factorial powers. The Pochhammer symbol, introduced by Leo August Pochhammer, is the notation (x)_n, where is a non-negative integer. It may represent ''either'' the rising or the falling factorial, with different articles and authors using different conventions. Pochhammer himself actually used (x)_n with yet another meaning, ...

Linear Differential Equation
In mathematics, a linear differential equation is a differential equation that is linear equation, linear in the unknown function and its derivatives, so it can be written in the form a_0(x)y + a_1(x)y' + a_2(x)y'' \cdots + a_n(x)y^ = b(x) where and are arbitrary differentiable functions that do not need to be linear, and are the successive derivatives of an unknown function of the variable . Such an equation is an ordinary differential equation (ODE). A ''linear differential equation'' may also be a linear partial differential equation (PDE), if the unknown function depends on several variables, and the derivatives that appear in the equation are partial derivatives. Types of solution A linear differential equation or a system of linear equations such that the associated homogeneous equations have constant coefficients may be solved by quadrature, which means that the solutions may be expressed in terms of antiderivative, integrals. This is also true for a linear equation ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
