AND HYPERGEOMETRIC
FUNCTIONS

(a Jodhpur) *)
1. In a recent paper we gave the
expansion [4, (2.2)]
where the notation for the double
hypergeometric
function is due toBurchnall and
Chaundy [1,
pp.1~.2, 113]
inpreference
to the one intro-duced earlier
by Kampé
de Fériet.Contemplation
of this result leads to a moregeneral expansion
inproduct
of Bessel andgeneralised hypergeometric
functions. The formula is12
To prove
(1.2)
weexpand
the functions on the left inascending
powers of z and use the formula[3,
p.25]
,u not a
negative integer.
We thus see thaton
setting m = n - r - s,
and this proves the result.For a = b the inner sum in

becomesso that
(1.2)
reduces toThe
special
casev==fl+1
of(1.6)
isworthy
ofnote,
since we then have14

give
two moreexpansions
which are similar to(1.2), namely
and
To prove
(2.1)
weexpand
the first member inascending
powers of x and use Neumannexpansion [5,
p.138].
The formula(2.2)
cansimilarly
be
proved by using
theexpansion [5,
p.141J
When p - q - 1 =
0,
the doublehypergeometric
function in(2.1)
reduces to
Appell’s
function.F4
which can beexpressed
as aproduct
oftwo if ~, = ,u

and we haveSince
(2.3)
leads to Bateman’s well-knownexpansion [5,
p.370].
The F 4

when p = q - 1 = 0 can beexpressed

p.62] proved
this formula in a different way.For a = b and p - q - 1 =
0,
the formulae(2.1)
and(2.2) give

and this further reduces to
The
particular
case a = 1 of the last formula isworthy
of note.Thus we have
which is a
special
case of Jacobi’sexpansion [5,
p. 22(4)] for q

k
being
zero or anyinteger.
See also[7,
p.430].
In a similar way from
(2.6)
we obtain3.
Finally
we make use of the formula[5,
p.151]
so that
I f we take b = a the
hypergeometric
function on theright

p. 135(4)]
By
the methods of thepreceding
sections we can obtain a numberof
interesting special
cases of the formula(3.2). Cf.,
e. g.,[2]
and[7].
