Dear all, please does anyone know this products of hypergeomtric functions 2F1(-n,c;d;a*z)*2F1(-m,e;f;b*z) ; with n and m non-negative integers. How to get the simple form ?
thank you very much, but i found in " HIGHER TRANSCENDENTAL FUNCTIONS . vol 1 " that this product is a sum of 4F3 hypergeometric functions which his form is not simplified.
Thanks all! but it appears that one cannot obtain a single sum to get a simple from more then this known results, then we should use the " Appell Hypergeometric Function " .
This is a product of two polynomials of degree n and m. Hansen's book, "A Table of Series and Products", Chapter 4, gives a long list of possible ways to re-order, most of which can be worked out by hand if you don't have the book. Depending on the parameters, some of them might simplify. Gradshteyn and Ryzhik, "Table of Integrals Series and Products" , Eq. 0.36 show how to turn this into a single sum with an explicit equation for the coefficients, again as a finite sum. Basically - multiply term by term. I suggest that you use a computer program like Mathematica or Maple.
