Abstract:
We derive transformation and summation formulas for terminating and nonterminating series involving the digamma function. Our principal results are obtained by a limiting process starting with duality relations for the generalized hypergeometric functions and their consequences. Selected formulas are further extended by parameter differentiation of Euler's transformation and by using contiguous re…

We derive transformation and summation formulas for terminating and nonterminating series involving the digamma function. Our principal results are obtained by a limiting process starting with duality relations for the generalized hypergeometric functions and their consequences. Selected formulas are further extended by parameter differentiation of Euler's transformation and by using contiguous relations. Most of our identities express products of hypergeometric and digamma series in terms of hypergeometric functions, and some evaluations of terminating digamma sums involve Bernoulli polynomials. In several cases the digamma contributions cancel, producing identities involving only products of hypergeometric functions.

On Askey's extension of Clausen's identity and its polynomial perturbation
Authors:
Dmitrii Karp,
Vinay Shukla
Abstract:
The celebrated Clausen's identity expresses the square of the Gauss hypergeometric series ${}_2F_{1}(a,b;a+b+1/2;x)$ as a single hypergeometric ${}_3F_2$ series. Goursat showed in 1883 that replacing $1/2$ by $m+1/2$ leads to a hypergeometric series for the square whenever $m$ is a positive integer. Askey found this series explicitly for $m=1$. The first goal of this paper is to extend this result…

The celebrated Clausen's identity expresses the square of the Gauss hypergeometric series ${}_2F_{1}(a,b;a+b+1/2;x)$ as a single hypergeometric ${}_3F_2$ series. Goursat showed in 1883 that replacing $1/2$ by $m+1/2$ leads to a hypergeometric series for the square whenever $m$ is a positive integer. Askey found this series explicitly for $m=1$. The first goal of this paper is to extend this result by treating the case of any natural $m$. The ${}_3F_{2}$ series on the right-hand side is thereby replaced by its perturbation by an explicit characteristic polynomial of degree $2m$, i.e., its coefficients are multiplied by values of this polynomial at nonnegative integers. The second goal of this paper is to make one further step and replace the square of the Gauss function by its product with its perturbation by an arbitrary polynomial of degree $s\le{2m+1}$. We show that such product remains hypergeometric and find its explicit form in terms of a polynomial perturbation of the ${}_3F_2$ series. We present an explicit formula for the characteristic polynomial whose degree is shown to be $2m+s$.

Stability of the Toda equations related to a perturbed $R_i$ type recurrence relation
Authors:

Abstract:
In this manuscript, a modified $R_I$ type recurrence relation is considered whose recurrence coefficients are perturbed by addition or multiplication of a constant. The perturbed system of recurrence coefficients is represented by Toda lattice equations, which are derived. These equations are then represented in a matrix form. With the help of this matrix representation, a known Lax pair is recove…

The perturbed system of recurrence coefficients is represented by Toda lattice equations, which are derived. These equations are then represented in a matrix form. With the help of this matrix representation, a known Lax pair is recovered. Inferences about the stability of resulting perturbed system of Toda equations are drawn based on numerical experiments.

Abstract:
When the co-recursion and co-dilation in the recurrence relation of certain sequences of orthogonal polynomials are not at the same level, the behaviour of the modified orthogonal polynomials is expected to have different properties compared to the situation of the same level of perturbation.

When the co-recursion and co-dilation in the recurrence relation of certain sequences of orthogonal polynomials are not at the same level, the behaviour of the modified orthogonal polynomials is expected to have different properties compared to the situation of the same level of perturbation. This manuscript attempts to derive structural relations between the perturbed and original $R_{II}$ type orthogonal polynomials. The classical result is improved using a transfer matrix approach. It turns out that the $R_{II}$ fraction with perturbation is the rational spectral transformation of the unperturbed one. The derived notions are used to deduce some consequences for the polynomials orthogonal on the real line. A natural question that arises while dealing with perturbations at different levels, i.e., which perturbation, co-recursion or co-dilation, needs to be performed first, is answered.

Complementary Romanovski-Routh polynomials play an important role in extracting specific properties of orthogonal polynomials. In this work, a generalized form of the Complementary Romanovski-Routh polynomials (GCRR) that has the Gaussian hypergeometric representation and satisfies a particular type of recurrence called $R_{II}$ type three term recurrence relation involving two arbitrary parameters is considered. Self perturbation of GCRR polynomials leading to extracting two different types of $R_{II}$ type orthogonal polynomials are identified. Spectral properties of these resultant polynomials in terms of tri-diagonal linear pencil were analyzed. The LU decomposition of these pencil matrices provided interesting properties involving biorthogonality. Interlacing properties between the zeros of the polynomials in the discussion are established.

Specifically, representation of new perturbed polynomials (co-polynomials of $R_{II}$ type) in terms of original ones with the interlacing and monotonicity properties of zeros are given. For finite perturbations, a transfer matrix approach is used to obtain new structural relations. Effect of co-dilation in the corresponding chain sequences and their consequences onto the unit circle are analysed. A particular perturbation in the corresponding chain sequence called complementary chain sequences and its effect on the corresponding Verblunsky coefficients is also studied.

The structural relationship between the perturbed and the unperturbed polynomials along with the spectral properties and spectral transformation of continued fraction are investigated. It is demonstrated that the transfer matrix method is computationally more efficient than the classical method for obtaining perturbed $R_I$ polynomials. Further, an interesting consequence of co-dilation on the Carathéodary function is presented. Finally, the study of co-recursion and co-dilation in connection to the unit circle is carried out with the help of an illustration. The interlacing and monotonicity of zeros between L-Jacobi polynomials and their perturbed forms are demonstrated.
