Hypergeometric Functions Of Several Matrix Arguments

Hypergeometric Functions of Several Matrix Arguments

Jacobians Of Matrix Transformation And Functions Of Matrix Arguments

This book concentrates on the topic of evaluation of Jacobians in some specific linear as well as nonlinear matrix transformations, in the real and complex cases, which are widely applied in the statistical, physical, engineering, biological and social sciences. It aims to develop some techniques systematically so that anyone with a little exposure to multivariable calculus can easily follow the steps and understand the various methods by which the Jacobians in complicated matrix transformations are evaluated. The material is developed slowly, with lots of worked examples, aimed at self-study. Some exercises are also given, at the end of each section.The book is a valuable reference for statisticians, engineers, physicists, econometricians, applied mathematicians and people working in many other areas. It can be used for a one-semester graduate level course on Jacobians and functions of matrix argument.

Gauss Hypergeometric Function

This book presents a novel journey of the Gauss hypergeometric function and contains the different versions of the Gaussian hypergeometric function, including its classical version. In particular, the $q$-Gauss or basic Gauss hypergeometric function, Gauss hypergeometric function with matrix arguments, Gauss hypergeometric function with matrix parameters, the matrix-valued Gauss hypergeometric function, the finite field version, the extended Gauss hypergeometric function, the $(p, q)$- Gauss hypergeometric function, the incomplete Gauss hypergeometric function and the discrete analogue of Gauss hypergeometric function. All these forms of the Gauss hypergeometric function and their properties are presented in such a way that the reader can understand the working algorithm and apply the same for other special functions. This book is useful for UG and PG students, researchers and faculty members working in the field of special functions and related areas.
