Barnes Integral - Hypergeometric Series

Hypergeometric Series

The hypergeometric function is given as a Barnes integral (Barnes 1908) by

This equality can be obtained by moving the contour to the right while picking up the residues at s = 0, 1, 2, ... . Given proper convergence conditions, one can relate more general Barnes' integrals and generalized hypergeometric functions pFq in a similar way.

Famous quotes containing the word series:

    Depression moods lead, almost invariably, to accidents. But, when they occur, our mood changes again, since the accident shows we can draw the world in our wake, and that we still retain some degree of power even when our spirits are low. A series of accidents creates a positively light-hearted state, out of consideration for this strange power.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
