Expansions of Generalized Hypergeometric Functions in Series of Products of Generalized Whittaker Functions

Abstract

In a previous paper (l) in this journal L. J. Slater gave expansions of the generalized Whittaker functions . She gave this name to the generalized hypergeometric function in the sense that it is a generalization of the well-known Whittaker function . In this paper series of products of generalized Whittaker functions will be evaluated in terms of such functions or in terms of generalized hypergeometric functions pFp(x). These expansions are These formulae will be proved in § 2 and particular cases will be given in § 3.
