In 1893 Giuseppe Lauricella defined and studied four hypergeometric series ''F''''A'', ''F''''B'', ''F''''C'', ''F''''D'' of three variables. They are : : for |''x''1| + |''x''2| + |''x''3| < 1 and : for |''x''1| < 1, |''x''2| < 1, |''x''3| < 1 and : for |''x''1|½ + |''x''2|½ + |''x''3|½ < 1 and : for |''x''1| < 1, |''x''2| < 1, |''x''3| < 1. Here the Pochhammer symbol (''q'')''i'' indicates the ''i''-th rising factorial of ''q'', i.e. : where the second equality is true for all complex except . These functions can be extended to other values of the variables ''x''1, ''x''2, ''x''3 by means of analytic continuation. Lauricella also indicated the existence of ten other hypergeometric functions of three variables. These were named ''F''''E'', ''F''''F'', ..., ''F''''T'' and studied by Shanti Saran in 1954 . There are therefore a total of 14 Lauricella–Saran hypergeometric functions. ==Generalization to ''n'' variables== These functions can be straightforwardly extended to ''n'' variables. One writes for example : where |''x''1| + ... + |''x''''n''| < 1. These generalized series too are sometimes referred to as Lauricella functions. When ''n'' = 2, the Lauricella functions correspond to the Appell hypergeometric series of two variables: : When ''n'' = 1, all four functions reduce to the Gauss hypergeometric function: : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lauricella hypergeometric series」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
