Abstract

In this paper, by using certain inverse pairs of symbolic operators introduced by Choi and Hasanov in 2011, we establish several decomposition formulas associated with the Gaussian triple hypergeometric functions. Some transformation formulas for these functions have also been obtained.

1. Introduction

The use of many mathematical operations goes beyond the class of elementary functions. The calculation of integrals, the summation of series, and solution of algebraic, transcendental, difference, and differential equations and their systems require expanding the class of studied functions. The development of the concept of a function, going in parallel with the development of the concepts of number and space, led to the emergence of new hypergeometric functions of many complex variables.

The great success of the theory of hypergeometric functions in a single variable has stimulated the development of the theory of hypergeometric functions in several variables by the fact that the solutions of partial differential equations arising in many applied problems of mathematical physics are given in terms of such hypergeometric functions (see, e.g., [16]). Multiple hypergeometric functions occur in numerous problems in hydrodynamics, control theory, electrical current, heat conduction, and classical and quantum mechanics (see, for details, [710], and the references cited therein). In view of theory and applications, a large number of hypergeometric functions have been developed; for example, as many as 205 hypergeometric functions are recorded in the monograph [11]. In particular, we recall the Gaussian functions , and in three variables defined by (see [11])

Burchnall and Chaundy presented the inverse pairs of symbolic operators and [12, 13] (also see [14]) by means of which they established several decomposition formulas for Appell’s double hypergeometric functions in terms of the Gaussian hypergeometric functions in one variable. Recently, Hasanov and Srivastava [15, 16] introduced multivariable analogues of Burchnall-Chaundy’s symbolic operators, and with the help of these operators, the authors obtained a number of decomposition formulas associated with multiple Lauricella hypergeometric functions , and . In [17, 18], the authors gave the following multivariable symbolic operators:

Based on the operators (12) and (13), we aim in this work to establish certain decomposition formulas for second-order Gaussian hypergeometric functions in three variables (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), and (10), which are used to derive some interesting transformation formulas for these functions.

2. Symbolic Form

Applying the symbolic operators in (12) and (13), we construct the following set of operator identities involving the classical Gauss hypergeometric function [19], the Appell functions [20], the Horn functions [21], and the Gaussian triple hypergeometric functions defined in (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), and (10):

Each of the operator identities (15), (16), (17), (18), (19), (20), (21), (22), (23), (24), (25), (26), (27), (28), (29), (30), (31), (32), (33), and (34) can be proved by means of Mellin and inverse Mellin transformation (see, for example, [11, 20, 22]). The proofs of the operator identities are omitted here.

3. Decomposition Formulas

In [23] (p. 93), it is proved that, for every analytic function , the following formulas hold true: where

In view of formulas (35) and (36), and taking into account the differentiation formula for hypergeometric functions, from operator identities (15), (16), (17), (18), (19), (20), (21), (22), (23), (24), (25), (26), (27), (28), (29), (30), (31), (32), (33), and (34), we have

4. Transformation Formulas

The transformation formulas defined below follow from the expansion formulas (38), (39), (40), (41), (42), (43), (44), (45), (46), (47), (48), (49), (50), (51), (52), (53), (54), (55), (56), and (57):

5. Concluding Remarks

In this present paper, with the help of the inverse pairs of symbolic operators, we established a number of decomposition formulas for some Gaussian triple hypergeometric functions. Also, we investigated certain transformation formulas for these functions. We conclude that mutually inverse operators (12) and (13) can be applied to other multiple hypergeometric functions.
