Description
|
|
•
|
Hypergeometric functions , or their generalization known as MeijerG functions, can be defined in different ways. One possible way is to define them as the solutions to some linear ODEs. In connection with that approach, the hyperode routine receives as input a hypergeometric function H as a parameter, where H is constructed using one of hypergeom or MeijerG, as either
|
–
|
H([...], [...], f(x)), where is an arbitrary expression depending on x, or
|
–
|
the product of an arbitrary expression times H([...], [...], f(x)).
|
|
Using this input, hyperode returns the general nth order ODE having as a solution that hypergeometric function H or that product of H times .
|

|
By identifying the general ODE underlying the definition of a hypergeometric function, this command can be of help when studying properties of these relevant functions and facilitate the understanding of related algorithms. In other cases, this ODE representation of pFq or MeijerG opens the way to computations (for example, differential elimination) that can only be performed with polynomial differential objects. See dpolyform, casesplit, DifferentialAlgebra, and rifsimp.
|
•
|
The ODE returned by hyperode, having a solution (where is expressed using hypergeom) is built by using the formula
|
|
where D is the differential operator , followed by a change of variables
|
|
and finally by the renaming of the variables according to
|
|
The output in this case is a linear ODE where the differential order is the largest of and .
|
•
|
The ODE returned by hyperode, when the input is a MeijerG generalized hypergeometric function, is built using the same process, but the formula used in the first step is:
|
•
|
When the differential order of the ODE to be returned is not indicated, the one implied by the given pFq or MeijerG function is used. When the differential order is indicated as an extra argument, and provided it is greater than the one implied by the hypergeometric function, the ODE is constructed in the same way as just outlined except that before proceeding, the lists , are augmented by introducing into both of them the necessary number of additional parameters, all equal to zero.
|
•
|
When an optional list of additional ODE solutions is given, the returned ODE is built by first using the formula explained above, and then applying to it operators of the form
|
|
for each , where the functions are adjusted so that in addition to
|
|
for all ,
|
|
is also a solution of the returned ODE.
|
|
Note: This building process raises the differential order of the returned ODE by n.

|
| (1) |
The general linear ODE family having as solution "2F1" (two indices in the first list and one index in the other list)

|
|
| (2) |
is of second order since the number of operands of the first list is two, and the number of operands of the second list plus one is not greater than two. This ODE is known as the hypergeometric ODE (or Gauss ODE) and is given by

| (3) |
The meaning of "1F0" can be determined by looking at the solution of the corresponding linear ODE (which is of order max( 1, 0+1 ) = 1).

Hence, up to a constant (which may depend on a), 1F0 is equal to the right-hand side of the ODE solution above. An alternative approach to this result is to first convert 1F0 to an infinite sum and then perform the summation:

Equivalently, but perhaps a more black-box approach, would be a one-step conversion.

The general third order ODE equivalent to the second order hypergeometric ODE is obtained by departing from the general hypergeometric function: "3F2", in turn obtained from 2F1 by adding one arbitrary parameter to each of the two lists.

Comparing this output with the one for a pFq function

it is apparent that, for some values of a, b, c, and d, there is a relation between the pFq and the more general MeijerG functions. This relation is actually given by:
