阿佩尔函数

阿佩尔函数是法国数学家（Paul Apell)在1880年为推广高斯超几何函数而创建的一组雙变数函数，定义如下

${\displaystyle F_{1}(a,b_{1},b_{2},c;x,y)=\sum _{m,n=0}^{\infty }{\frac {(a)_{m+n}(b_{1})_{m}(b_{2})_{n}}{(c)_{m+n}\,m!\,n!}}\,x^{m}y^{n}~,}$

${\displaystyle F_{2}(a,b_{1},b_{2},c_{1},c_{2};x,y)=\sum _{m,n=0}^{\infty }{\frac {(a)_{m+n}(b_{1})_{m}(b_{2})_{n}}{(c_{1})_{m}(c_{2})_{n}\,m!\,n!}}\,x^{m}y^{n}~,}$

${\displaystyle F_{3}(a_{1},a_{2},b_{1},b_{2},c;x,y)=\sum _{m,n=0}^{\infty }{\frac {(a_{1})_{m}(a_{2})_{n}(b_{1})_{m}(b_{2})_{n}}{(c)_{m+n}\,m!\,n!}}\,x^{m}y^{n}~,}$

${\displaystyle F_{4}(a,b,c_{1},c_{2};x,y)=\sum _{m,n=0}^{\infty }{\frac {(a)_{m+n}(b)_{m+n}}{(c_{1})_{m}(c_{2})_{n}\,m!\,n!}}\,x^{m}y^{n}~.}$

其中的符号${\displaystyle :(a)_{m+n}}$是阶乘幂

阿佩尔函数是嫪丽切拉函数和Kampé_de_Fériet函数的特例。

${\displaystyle (a-b_{1}-b_{2})F_{1}(a,b_{1},b_{2},c;x,y)-a\,F_{1}(a+1,b_{1},b_{2},c;x,y)+b_{1}F_{1}(a,b_{1}+1,b_{2},c;x,y)+b_{2}F_{1}(a,b_{1},b_{2}+1,c;x,y)=0~,}$

${\displaystyle c\,F_{1}(a,b_{1},b_{2},c;x,y)-(c-a)F_{1}(a,b_{1},b_{2},c+1;x,y)-a\,F_{1}(a+1,b_{1},b_{2},c+1;x,y)=0~,}$

${\displaystyle c\,F_{1}(a,b_{1},b_{2},c;x,y)+c(x-1)F_{1}(a,b_{1}+1,b_{2},c;x,y)-(c-a)x\,F_{1}(a,b_{1}+1,b_{2},c+1;x,y)=0~,}$

${\displaystyle c\,F_{1}(a,b_{1},b_{2},c;x,y)+c(y-1)F_{1}(a,b_{1},b_{2}+1,c;x,y)-(c-a)y\,F_{1}(a,b_{1},b_{2}+1,c+1;x,y)=0~.}$

其它式子^[1]可從這四個關係導出。

${\displaystyle c\,F_{3}(a_{1},a_{2},b_{1},b_{2},c;x,y)+(a_{1}+a_{2}-c)F_{3}(a_{1},a_{2},b_{1},b_{2},c+1;x,y)-a_{1}F_{3}(a_{1}+1,a_{2},b_{1},b_{2},c+1;x,y)-a_{2}F_{3}(a_{1},a_{2}+1,b_{1},b_{2},c+1;x,y)=0~,}$

${\displaystyle c\,F_{3}(a_{1},a_{2},b_{1},b_{2},c;x,y)-c\,F_{3}(a_{1}+1,a_{2},b_{1},b_{2},c;x,y)+b_{1}x\,F_{3}(a_{1}+1,a_{2},b_{1}+1,b_{2},c+1;x,y)=0~,}$

${\displaystyle c\,F_{3}(a_{1},a_{2},b_{1},b_{2},c;x,y)-c\,F_{3}(a_{1},a_{2}+1,b_{1},b_{2},c;x,y)+b_{2}y\,F_{3}(a_{1},a_{2}+1,b_{1},b_{2}+1,c+1;x,y)=0~,}$

${\displaystyle c\,F_{3}(a_{1},a_{2},b_{1},b_{2},c;x,y)-c\,F_{3}(a_{1},a_{2},b_{1}+1,b_{2},c;x,y)+a_{1}x\,F_{3}(a_{1}+1,a_{2},b_{1}+1,b_{2},c+1;x,y)=0~,}$

${\displaystyle c\,F_{3}(a_{1},a_{2},b_{1},b_{2},c;x,y)-c\,F_{3}(a_{1},a_{2},b_{1},b_{2}+1,c;x,y)+a_{2}y\,F_{3}(a_{1},a_{2}+1,b_{1},b_{2}+1,c+1;x,y)=0~.}$

${\displaystyle {\frac {\partial }{\partial x}}F_{1}(a,b_{1},b_{2},c;x,y)={\frac {ab_{1}}{c}}F_{1}(a+1,b_{1}+1,b_{2},c+1;x,y)~,}$
