R: Compound Confluent hypergeometric function of two variables

phi1 {BAS} | R Documentation

## Compound Confluent hypergeometric function of two variables

### Description

Compute the Confluent Hypergeometric function of two variables, also know as a Horn hypergeometric function or Humbert's hypergeometric used in Gordy (1998) with integral representation:

### Usage

    phi1(a, b, c, x, y)

### Arguments

`a` | a > 0
`b` | arbitrary
`c` | c > 0
`x` | x > 0
`y` | 0 <= y < 1

### Details

phi_1(a,b,c,x,y) = Beta(a,b) Int_0^1 t^(a-1) (1 - t)^(c-a-1) (1 - yt)^(-b) exp(x t) dt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humbert_series Note that Gordy's arguments for x and y are reversed in the reference above.

Code for phi1 provided by Gordy.

### Examples

    # special cases
    # phi1(a, b, c, x=0, y) is the same as 2F1(b, a; c, y)
    phi1(1, 2, 1.5, 0, 1 / 100)
    hypergeometric2F1(2, 1, 1.5, 1 / 100, log = FALSE)

    # phi1(a,0,c,x,y) is the same as 1F1(a,c,x)
    phi1(1, 0, 1.5, 3, 1 / 100)
    hypergeometric1F1(1, 1.5, 3, log = FALSE)
