The conditions for both the singular and the polynomial cases can also be seen from the AppellF3. For example, the twelve polynomial cases of AppellF3 are
Likewise, the conditions for the singular cases of AppellF3 can be seen either using the FunctionAdvisor or entering AppellF3:-Singularities(), so with no arguments.
For particular values of its parameters, AppellF3 is related to the hypergeometric function. These hypergeometric cases are returned automatically. For example, for ,
This formula analytically extends to the whole complex plane the AppellF3 series when any of or (the latter using the symmetry of AppellF3 - see the beginning of the Description section).
To see all the hypergeometric cases, enter
Other special values of AppellF3 can be seen using FunctionAdvisor(special_values, AppellF3).
By requesting the sum form of AppellF3, besides its double power series definition, we also see the particular form the series takes when one of the summations is performed and the result expressed in terms of 2F1 hypergeometric functions:
As indicated in the formulas above, for AppellF3 (also for AppellF1) 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 - analytically extends the series with regards to the other variable - say - entering the hypergeometric coefficient. Hence, for AppellF3 (also for AppellF1), the case where one of the two variables, or , is equal to 1, is convergent only when the corresponding hypergeometric coefficient in the single sum form is convergent. For instance, the convergent case at requires that .
AppellF3 is the only one of the four Appell functions that does not admit identities analogous to the Euler identities for the hypergeometric function.
A contiguity transformation for AppellF3
The contiguity transformations available in this way are
By using differential algebra techniques, the PDE system satisfied by AppellF3 can be transformed into an equivalent PDE system where one of the equations is a linear ODE in parametrized by . In the case of AppellF3 this linear ODE is of fourth order and can be computed as follows
This linear ODE has four regular singularities, one of which depends on
