Hypergeometric functions are at the heart of many analytical and applied mathematical investigations. These functions, generally defined via power series that extend the geometric series, have been ...

Hypergeometric functions occupy a central role in mathematical analysis by encapsulating a diverse class of series that extend many classical functions. Equally, identities involving harmonic numbers ...

The connection between functions of hypergeometric type and representations of certain Lie algebras is exploited by classifying the irreducible representations of the corresponding local Lie groups.
