Mathematical Functions
Relevant developments in the MathematicalFunctions project happened for Maple 2017, regarding both the addition of the four Appell functions, representing the first ever full implementation of these functions in computational environments, as well as the addition of a new package, Evalf, for performing numerical experimentation taking advantage of sophisticated symbolic computation functionality. The Evalf package and project aims to provide a user-friendly environment to develop and work with numerical algorithms for mathematical functions.
The Four Appell Functions
The Evalf Package
The four multi-parameter Appell functions, AppellF1, AppellF2, AppellF3 and AppellF4 are doubly hypergeometric functions that include as particular cases the 2F1 hypergeometric and some cases of the MeijerG function, and with them most of the known functions of mathematical physics. These Appell functions have been popping up with increasing frequency in applications in quantum mechanics, molecular physics, and general relativity.
As in the case of the hypergeometric function, a distinction is made between the four Appell series, with restricted domain of convergence, and the four Appell functions, that coincide with the series in their domain of convergence but also extend them analytically to the whole complex plane. The Maple implementation of the Appell functions includes a thorough set of their symbolic properties, all accessible using the FunctionAdvisor, as well as numerical algorithms to evaluate the four functions over the whole complex plane, representing the first ever complete computational implementation of these functions.

The definition of the four Appell series and the corresponding domains of convergence can be seen through the FunctionAdvisor. For example,

From these definitions, these series and the corresponding analytic extensions (Appell functions) are singular (division by zero) when the c parameters entering the pochhammer functions in the denominators of these series are non-positive integers. For an analogous reason, when the a and/or b parameters entering the pochhammer functions in the numerators of the series are non-positive integers, the series will truncate and the Appell functions will be polynomial. Consult the FunctionAdvisor for comprehensive information on the combinations of all these conditions. For example, for AppellF1, the singular cases happen when any of the following conditions hold

By requesting the sum form of the Appell functions, besides their double power series definition, we also see the particular form the four series take when one of the summations is performed and the result expressed in terms of 2F1 hypergeometric functions. For example, for AppellF3,
FunctionAdvisorsum_form,AppellF3
F3a__1,a__2,b__1,b__2,c,z__1,z__2=∑m=0∞∑n=0∞a__1ma__2nb__1mb__2nz__1mz__2ncm+nm!n!,z__1<1∧z__2<1,F3a__1,a__2,b__1,b__2,c,z__1,z__2=∑k=0∞a__1kb__1kF12a__2,b__2;c+k;z__2z__1kckk!,z__1<1,F3a__1,a__2,b__1,b__2,c,z__1,z__2=∑k=0∞a__2kb__2kF12a__1,b__1;c+k;z__1z__2kckk!,z__2<1
So, for AppellF3 (and also for AppellF1, but not for AppellF2 nor AppellF4) the domain of convergence of the single sum with hypergeometric coefficients is larger than the domain of convergence of the double series, because the hypergeometric coefficient in the single sum - say the one in z2 - analytically extends the series with regards to the other variable - say z1 - entering the hypergeometric coefficient.
In the literature, the Appell series are analytically extended by integral representations in terms of Eulerian double integrals. With the exception of AppellF4, one of the two iterated integrals can always be computed resulting in a single integral with hypergeometric integrand. For example, for AppellF2
FunctionAdvisorintegral_form, AppellF2;

For the purpose of numerically evaluating the four Appell functions over the whole complex plane, instead of numerically evaluating the integral representations, it is simpler, when possible, to evaluate the function using identities. For example, with the exception of AppellF3, the Appell functions admit identities analogous to Euler identities for the hypergeometric function. These Euler-type identities, as well as contiguity identities for the four Appell functions, are visible using the FunctionAdvisor with the option identities, or directly from the function. For AppellF4, for instance, provided that none of a, b, a−b, c2−a is a non-positive integer,
F4a,b,c__1,c__2,z__1,z__2=AppellF4:-TransformationsEuler1a,b,c__1,c__2,z__1,z__2
F4a,b,c__1,c__2,z__1,z__2=Γc__2Γb−a−z__2−aF4a,a−c__2+1,a−b+1,c__1,1z__2,z__1z__2Γc__2−aΓb+Γc__2Γa−b−z__2−bF4b,1+b−c__2,b−a+1,c__1,1z__2,z__1z__2Γc__2−bΓa
and this identity can be used to evaluate AppellF4 at z1=1 over the whole complex plane since, in that case, the two variables of the Appell Functions on right-hand side become equal, and that is a special case of AppellF4, expressible in terms of hypergeometric 4F3 functions

Evalf is both a command and a package of commands for the numerical evaluation of mathematical expressions and functions, numerical experimentation, and fast development of numerical algorithms, taking advantage of the advanced symbolic capabilities of the Maple computer algebra system.
As an environment for working with special functions, Evalf helps developing/implementing the typical approaches used in the literature and comparing their performances. This kind of environment is increasingly relevant nowadays, when rather complicated mathematical expressions and advanced special functions, as for instance is the case of the Heun and Appell functions, appear more and more in the modeling of problems in science.
