finally, some concrete result. Both real and imaginary part of 2F1 i have expressed via the Horn H_4 function (see part D of the PDF). However, it is a double-series as well, but I think that is is the floor. I don't know about some in-built calculation routine for Horn functions.
I see that this discussion is over 4 years old, but the RG computer just brought it to my attention. Would you be kind enough to provide a link to a publicly accessible version of your ITSF article for those who don't wish to pay to examine the fruits of your labour. Thank you.
I refer you to the excellent Book: Involving a lot of expressions of the Gaussian hyper-geometric series 2F1
