Hyperg {gsl}

Hypergeometric functions

Description

Hypergeometric functions as per the Gnu Scientific Library reference manual section 7.21 and AMS-55, chapters 13 and 15. These functions are declared in header file gsl_sf_hyperg.h

Usage

hyperg_0F1(c, x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
hyperg_1F1_int(m, n, x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
hyperg_1F1(a, b, x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
hyperg_U_int(m, n, x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
hyperg_U(a, b, x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
hyperg_2F1(a, b, c, x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
hyperg_2F1_conj(aR, aI, c, x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
hyperg_2F1_renorm(a, b, c, x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
hyperg_2F1_conj_renorm(aR, aI, c, x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
hyperg_2F0(a, b, x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)

Arguments

x

input: real values

a, b, c

input: real values

m, n

input: integer values

aR, aI

input: real values

give

Boolean with TRUE meaning to return a list of three items: the value, an estimate of the error, and a status number.

strict

Boolean, with TRUE meaning to return NaN if status is an error

Note

“The circle of convergence of the Gauss hypergeometric series is the unit circle |z|=1” (AMS, page 556).

There is a known issue in hyperg_2F1() in GSL-2.6, https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54998 and the package returns the erroneous value given by GSL.
