Preface
The theory of the special functions plays an important role in the study of the mathe-
matical models of the real-world phenomena with use of the functions in the fields of
mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering, and other applied sciences. The main aim
of the monograph is not only to explain the role of the hypergeometric series in modern
pure and applied mathematics but also to give the audience an idea for the structure of
the new special functions. It is designed for professional mathematicians, physicists, engi-
neers, chemists, and graduate students in those and closely allied fields who have had no
previous knowledge of the theory of the hypergeometric, supertrigonometric, and super-
hyperbolic functions.
Due to the above-mentioned topics of the special functions containing the Clausen
hypergeometric series, Gauss hypergeometric series, Kummer confluent hypergeometric
series, Jacobi polynomials, Laguerre polynomials, and Legendre polynomials, we demon-
strate a great many of the identities for the special functions and take a systematic account
of the supertrigonometric and superhyperbolic functions from the viewpoint of the Euler’s
tasks.

The monograph is divided into seven chapters as follows.


Chapter 1 provides the elements of the gamma function, Pochhammer symbols and
beta functions. The Weierstrassian product, Legendre duplication formula, Weierstrass
theorem, Winckler theorem, Stirling theorem, Hankel integral theorem, and Gauss mul-
tiplication formula are presented in detail. The incomplete gamma functions, incomplete
beta function, and the logarithmic derivative of the gamma function are also considered.
Chapter 2 is devoted to the hypergeometric supertrigonometric functions and the hy-
pergeometric superhyperbolic functions via Clausen hypergeometric series. The Laplace
transforms for the supertrigonometric and superhyperbolic functions, the zeros of the su-
pertrigonometric and superhyperbolic functions via Clausen hypergeometric series, and
the identities of the supertrigonometric and superhyperbolic functions via Clausen hyper-
geometric series are considered in detail. The analytic number theory involving the above
special functions are also discussed.
Chapter 3 gives an account of the hypergeometric supertrigonometric and super-
hyperbolic functions via Gauss hypergeometric series. The Laplace transform, Chu–
Vandermonde identity, Gauss differential equation, Mellin transform, Gauss theorem, Stir-
ling theorem, Pfaff theorem, Koshliakov theorem, and Bateman theorem are considered in
detail. The analytic number theory invoking the hypergeometric supertrigonometric and
superhyperbolic functions via Gauss hypergeometric series are also presented based on
the proposed results.

xiv Preface

Chapter 4 proposes the hypergeometric supertrigonometric and superhyperbolic func-


tions via the Kummer confluent hypergeometric series. The analytic number theory for the
hypergeometric, supertrigonometric, and superhyperbolic functions via Kummer conflu-
ent hypergeometric series are suggested in detail.
Chapter 5 addresses the definitions, properties, and theorems for the Jacobi, Jacobi–
Luke, and Jacobi–Luke-type polynomials. The hypergeometric supertrigonometric func-
tions and hypergeometric superhyperbolic functions via Jacobi and Jacobi–Luke-type
polynomials and their generating functions are discussed. The Laplace transforms and in-
tegral representations for the new special functions are also addressed.
Chapter 6 introduces the concepts, properties, and theorems of the Laguerre polyno-
mials and illustrates the supertrigonometric and superhyperbolic functions containing
the Laguerre polynomials via Laguerre polynomials, Szegö function of first type, Rainville
function, and Szegö function of second type. We also report the Brafman theorem, Hille
theorem, Feldheim theorem, Weisner theorem, and other theorems for new special func-
tions.
Chapter 7 presents the definitions, properties, and theorems for the Legendre polyno-
mials and Legendre-type polynomials. We propose the supertrigonometric functions and
superhyperbolic functions via Legendre polynomials and Legendre-type polynomials.

1.1 Euler gamma function


In this section, we introduce the history and concept of the Euler gamma function, give the
theorems for the Euler gamma function, and investigate the definition for the incomplete
Euler gamma function.

1.1.1 Definition and theorems for the Euler gamma function


Let C, R, Z, and N be the sets of complex numbers, real numbers, integers, and natural
numbers, respectively.
Let Z+ , R+ , Z− , and R− be the sets of the positive integers, positive real numbers, neg-
ative integers, and negative real numbers.
Let Z− −
0 = Z ∪ 0 and N0 = N ∪ 0.
Let Re (x) denote the real part of x ∈ C.

Definition 1.1 (Euler integral of first kind). [Euler (1729)]


The gamma function due to Euler is defined as [1]
 ∞
 (z) = e−t t z−1 dt (1.1)
0

for z ∈ C with Re (z) > 0.

The formula (called the Euler integral of first kind) was discovered by Euler in 1729 (see
[1], p. 1, [2]), and the notation  (z) was introduced by Legendre in 1814 (see [3], p. 476).

Theorem 1.1 (Weierstrass product). [Weierstrass (1856)]


The gamma function can be expressed as [4]
∞  
e−γ z   z −1 z
 (z) = 1+ ek , (1.2)
z k
k=1
 
where z ∈ C\Z−
0 , and γ := limn→∞
n 1
k=1 k − log n is the Euler constant. Moreover,  (z) is
analytic except at the points z ∈ Z−
0 , where it has simple poles [5].

2 An Introduction to Hypergeometric, Supertrigonometric, Superhyperbolic Functions

The formula for the Weierstrass product was discovered by Weierstrass in 1856 [4] and
by Newman in 1848 [6], and the proofs were published by Hölder (1886) [7], Moore (1896)
[8], and Baines (1900) [9].

Definition 1.2 (Euler’s functional equation). [Euler (1729)]


The Euler’s functional equation states

 (z + 1) = z (z) (1.3)

for z ∈ C with Re (z) > 0.

Euler’s functional equation was discovered by Euler in 1729 [2] and reported by Weier-
strass (1856) [4], Brunel (1886) [10], Gronwall (1916) [11], and Olver (1997) [12].

Theorem 1.2 (Euler theorem). [Euler (1729)]

 (z + 1) = z! for z ∈ N0 . (1.4)

Euler’s functional equation was discovered by Euler in 1729 [1,2] and discussed by
Weierstrass (1856) [4], Brunel (1886) [10], and Gronwall (1916) [11].

Theorem 1.3 (Euler theorem). [Euler (1729)]


 
1 √

This equality was discovered by Euler in 1729 [1] and discussed by Bell (1968) [13], Luke
(1969) [14], and Bendersky (1933) [15].

Theorem 1.4 (Euler theorem). [Euler]

where z ∈ C and k, j, k, m, n ∈ N.

The Winckler theorem was discovered by Winckler in 1856 [16] and reviewed by Gron-
wall in 1916 [11].

The result was first obtained by Whittaker in 1902 (see [18], p. 191) and further reported
by Whittaker and Watson in 1920 [19].

Theorem 1.9. [Titchmarsh (1948)]


If α + β > 1, then
 ∞

dt = . (1.11)
−∞  (α + t)  (β − t)  (α + β − 1)
The result was first reported in Titchmarsh’s monograph [20].

where Re (z) > 0 and z ∈ C.

The formula is due to Euler (1771) [21].


For more detail of the results, we refer the readers to Weierstrass (1856) [4], Manocha
and Srivastava (1984) [22], Luke (1969) [14], Bell (1968) [13], Godefroy (1903) [23], and Tan-
nery (1910) [24].

Theorem 1.18 (Incomplete gamma functions). [Schlömilch (1871)]


The incomplete gamma functions are defined as
 a

6 An Introduction to Hypergeometric, Supertrigonometric, Superhyperbolic Functions

and
 a
+ (a, z) = e−t t z−1 dt (|arg (a)| < π) (1.28)
0

with

 (z) = − (a, z) + + (a, z) , (1.29)

where a > 0 and z ∈ C with Re (z) > 0.

These functions are introduced and called “incomplete gamma functions” by


Schlömilch (1871) ([32]; also see [33]) and further reported by J. Tannery (1882) [34],
Prym (1877) [35], Lerch (1905) [36], and Thomson (1947) [37].

Theorem 1.19 (Pearson theorem). [Pearson (1934)]


We have

− (a, z) = z−1 a z e−a 1 F1 (1; z + 1; a) (1.30)

for z ∈ Z−
0.

The result was discovered by Pearson [38] and reported by Slater (1966) [39], Wang et al.
(1979) [31], and Manocha and Srivastava (1984) [22].

Theorem 1.20. Let h(1) (t) > 0, h (0) = 0, h (∞) = ∞, and x ∈ C with Re (x) > 0.
Then we have
 1
 (x) = e−h(t) (h (t))x−1 h(1) (t) dt. (1.31)
0

The result was discovered by Yang, Gao, and Ju [40] in 2020 for x ∈ N.

(1915) [41], and Pagurova (1963) [42].

1.2 Pochhammer symbols


In this section, we introduce the Pochhammer symbols and give theorems on their prop-
erties.
Chapter 1 • Euler gamma function, Pochhammer symbols and Euler beta function 7

1.2.1 Definition and theorems for the Pochhammer symbols


Definition 1.3 (Pochhammer symbol). [Pochhammer (1870)]
The Pochhammer symbol is defined as [43]

(α)k

k
= (α + n − 1)
n=1
 (α + k) (1.33)
=
 (α)

1 (k = 0) ,
=
α (α + 1) · · · (α + k − 1) (k ∈ N0 ) ,

and

(α)0 = 1, (1.34)

where α ∈ C and k, n ∈ N.

The Pochhammer symbol was first suggested and used by Pochhammer in 1870 [43].
Weierstrass [4] noticed in 1856 that

 (α + k) = α (α + 1) · · · (α + k − 1)  (α) (k ∈ N0 ) . (1.35)

For more information, see the monograph [44].


Moreover (see [4,11,39]),
1
lim (α)k = (1.36)
k→∞  (α)

The formula (called the Euler integral of the second kind) was first discovered by Euler
in 1772 [47] and by Legendre in 1811 (see [48], p. 221); the name of the beta function was
introduced by Binet in 1839 [49]. For more detail, see the monograph [44].

Hypergeometric,
supertrigonometric, and
superhyperbolic functions via
Clausen hypergeometric series

2.1 Clausen hypergeometric series


In 1828, Clausen [55] introduced the hypergeometric series, which is now called the gen-
eralized hypergeometric series or Clausen hypergeometric series (also called the Clausen
hypergeometric function).
In fact, Wallis [56] first used in 1656 the term hypergeometric to denote the series to
make it beyond the ordinary geometric series at that time. After that, Euler studied similar
series in 1748 [57]. Vandermonde extended the binomial theorem in 1770 [58]. Gauss in-
troduced the famous Gauss hypergeometric series in 1812 [26]. On the consideration of the
Gauss hypergeometric series, Clausen [55] proposed the Clausen hypergeometric series.

2.1.1 Definition, convergence, and properties for the Clausen


hypergeometric series
Let us start with the definition, properties, and theorems for the Clausen hypergeometric
series.
Definition 2.1. [Clausen (1828)]
The Clausen hypergeometric series are defined as [55]

p Fq((a) , (c) ; z)
 
= p Fq a 1 , · · · , ap ; c1 , · · · , cq ; z
 
a , · · · , ap
= p Fq 1 ;z (2.1)
c1 , · · · , cq
∞  
 (a1 )n · · · ap zn
=  n ,
n=0
(c1 )n · · · cq n n!

where an , cn , z ∈ C and n, p, q ∈ N0 .
This extended version of the Gauss hypergeometric series was introduced by Clausen
in 1828 [55]. The results were developed by Dutka (1984) [59], Bailey (1935) [60], Karlsson

(1987) [65], Nilsson (2009) [66], Wilson (1978) [67], Fine (1988) [68], Gasper et al. (2004) [69],
Andrews (1974) [70], and Natanzon (1979) [71]. The formula was systematically studied by
Thomae (1870) [72] and Appell and De Fériet (1926) [73].
Theorem 2.1 (Convergence). [60]
The cases of convergence of the Clausen hypergeometric series (2.1) for an ∈ C\Z−
0:

1. p < q: the series converges absolutely for z ∈ C;


2. p = q + 1: the series converges
q absolutely for |z|
 < 1, diverges for |z| > 1, and for |z| = 1, it
p
converges absolutely if Re k=1 ck − k=1 ak > 0;
3. p > q + 1: the series converges only for z = 0.
The result was reported by, for example, Bailey (1935) [60], Srivastava and Kashyap
(1982) [51], Slater (1966) [39], Andrews et al. (1999) [25], and Rainville (1960) [45].
We now provide some properties of the Clausen hypergeometric series.
Theorem 2.2 (The differential equation for the Clausen hypergeometric series).
If an , cn , z ∈ C, n, p, q ∈ N0 , and |z| < 1, then the hypergeometric series (2.1) is a solution
of the differential equation

(Q (q, μ, cn ) ϕ) (z) − (P (p, μ, an ) ϕ) (z) = 0, (2.2)

The results were obtained by Rainville in 1960 (see [45], p. 85) and Askey (1975) [60], and
further investigated by Andrews et al. (see [25], p. 67), Srivastava and Kashyap (1982) [51],
and Slater (1966) [39].
When c − a = 1, we get the following result.

The result was obtained by Manocha and Srivastava in 1984 [22]. Using this formula, we
obtain the following results.

Theorem 2.9. If Re (α) > 0, Re (β) > 0, and |z| < 1, then

1 α;
t α−1
(z − t) e dt = z
β−1 λt α+β−1
× 1 F1 λz , (2.45)
B (α, β) 0 α + β;

where λ is a constant.

Proof. Putting eλt = 0 F0 (−; −; λz), we simply write


 z
1
t α−1 (z − t)β−1 eλt dt
B (α, β) 0
 z (2.46)
1
= t α−1 (z − t)β−1 0 F0 (−; −; λt)dt.
B (α, β) 0

It is easy to verify that


 z

B (α, β) 0

Thus we obtain the result.

Similarly, without proofs, we may present the following theorems.
