On Transformations and q-Integrals for Multiple (q-)Hypergeometric Series
摘要
The purpose of this article is to continue our studies of single and multiple (q-)hypergeometric functions. We shall thus export the so-called q-case of multiple hypergeometric functions, Appell’s transformation formula, first Lauricella function transformation formula, Euler-Pfaff formulas for triple functions, transformation formula between the first and third Appell functions, integral representation and difference equations. First we prove Euler-Pfaff and reduction formulas for triple q-Saran hypergeometric functions including an equivalence relation for them. Then we shall prove both q-Euler and q-Laplace integral representations, as well as formal q-integral representations with the third q-real number. As usual, q-Euler integral representations are proved by the q-Beta integral. The q-Laplace integral representations contain confluent q-hypergeometric functions, which were previously defined. These formulas are proved by using the q-integral expression for the q-Gamma function. Because of the confluence, powers of
