**acb_hypgeom.h** -- evaluation of hypergeometric functions in the complex numbers
==================================================================================
The generalized hypergeometric function is formally defined by
.. math ::
{}_pF_q(a_1,\ldots,a_p;b_1,\ldots,b_q;z) =
\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{(a_1)_k\dots(a_p)_k}{(b_1)_k\dots(b_q)_k} \frac {z^k} {k!}.
It can be interpreted using analytic continuation or regularization
when the sum does not converge.
In a looser sense, we understand "hypergeometric functions" to be
linear combinations of generalized hypergeometric functions
with prefactors that are products of exponentials, powers, and gamma functions.
Convergent series
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this section, we define
.. math ::
T(k) = \frac{\prod_{i=0}^{p-1} (a_i)_k}{\prod_{i=0}^{q-1} (b_i)_k} z^k
and
.. math ::
{}_pH_{q}(a_0,\ldots,a_{p-1}; b_0 \ldots b_{q-1}; z) = {}_{p+1}F_{q}(a_0,\ldots,a_{p-1},1; b_0 \ldots b_{q-1}; z) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} T(k)
For the conventional generalized hypergeometric function
`{}_pF_{q}`, compute `{}_pH_{q+1}` with the explicit parameter `b_q = 1`,
or remove a 1 from the `a_i` parameters if there is one.
.. function:: void acb_hypgeom_pfq_bound_factor(mag_t C, acb_srcptr a, long p, acb_srcptr b, long q, const acb_t z, ulong n)
Computes a factor *C* such that
.. math ::
\left|\sum_{k=n}^{\infty} T(k)\right| \le C |T(n)|.
We check that `\operatorname{Re}(b+n) > 0` for all lower
parameters *b*. If this does not hold, *C* is set to infinity.
Otherwise, we cancel out pairs of parameters
`a` and `b` against each other. We have
.. math ::
\left|\frac{a+k}{b+k}\right| = \left|1 + \frac{a-b}{b+k}\right| \le 1 + \frac{|a-b|}{|b+n|}
and
.. math ::
\left|\frac{1}{b+k}\right| \le \frac{1}{|b+n|}
for all `k \ge n`. This gives us a constant *D* such that
`T(k+1) \le D T(k)` for all `k \ge n`.
If `D \ge 1`, we set *C* to infinity. Otherwise, we take
`C = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} D^k = (1-D)^{-1}`.
As currently implemented, the bound becomes infinite when `n` is
too small, even if the series converges.
.. function:: long acb_hypgeom_pfq_choose_n(acb_srcptr a, long p, acb_srcptr b, long q, const acb_t z, long prec)
Heuristically attempts to choose a number of terms *n* to
sum of a hypergeometric series at a working precision of *prec* bits.
Uses double precision arithmetic internally. As currently implemented,
it can fail to produce a good result if the parameters are extremely
large or extremely close to nonpositive integers.
Numerical cancellation is assumed to be significant, so truncation
is done when the current term is *prec* bits
smaller than the largest encountered term.
This function will also attempt to pick a reasonable
truncation point for divergent series.
.. function:: void acb_hypgeom_pfq_sum_forward(acb_t s, acb_t t, acb_srcptr a, long p, acb_srcptr b, long q, const acb_t z, long n, long prec)
.. function:: void acb_hypgeom_pfq_sum_rs(acb_t s, acb_t t, acb_srcptr a, long p, acb_srcptr b, long q, const acb_t z, long n, long prec)
.. function:: void acb_hypgeom_pfq_sum(acb_t s, acb_t t, acb_srcptr a, long p, acb_srcptr b, long q, const acb_t z, long n, long prec)
Computes `s = \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} T(k)` and `t = T(n)`.
Does not allow aliasing between input and output variables.
We require `n \ge 0`.
The *forward* version computes the sum using forward
recurrence.
The *rs* version computes the sum in reverse order
using rectangular splitting. It only computes a
magnitude bound for the value of *t*.
The default version automatically chooses an algorithm
depending on the inputs.
.. function:: void acb_hypgeom_pfq_direct(acb_t res, acb_srcptr a, long p, acb_srcptr b, long q, const acb_t z, long n, long prec)
Computes
.. math ::
{}_pH_{q}(z)
= \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} T(k)
= \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} T(k) + \varepsilon
directly from the defining series, including a rigorous bound for
the truncation error `\varepsilon` in the output.
If `n < 0`, this function chooses a number of terms automatically
using :func:`acb_hypgeom_pfq_choose_n`.
Asymptotic series
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let `U(a,b,z)` denote the confluent hypergeometric function of the second
kind with the principal branch cut (DLMF 13.2).
We have the asymptotic expansion
.. math ::
z^a U(a,b,z) \sim {}_2F_0(a, a-b+1, -1/z)
where `{}_2F_0(a,b,z)` denotes a formal hypergeometric series, i.e.
.. math ::
z^a U(a,b,z) = \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} \frac{(a)_k (a-b+1)_k}{k! (-z)^k} + \varepsilon_n(z).
The error term `\varepsilon_n(z)` is bounded according to DLMF 13.7.
A case distinction is made depending on whether `z` lies in one
of three regions which we index by `R`.
Our formula for the error bound increases with the value of `R`, so we
can always choose the larger out of two indices if `z` lies in
the union of two regions.
Let `r = |b-2a|`.
If `\operatorname{Re}(z) \ge r`, set `R = 1`.
Otherwise, if `\operatorname{Im}(z) \ge r` or `\operatorname{Re}(z) \ge 0 \land |z| \ge r`, set `R = 2`.
Otherwise, if `|z| \ge 2r`, set `R = 3`.
Otherwise, the bound is infinite.
If the bound is finite, we have
.. math ::
|\varepsilon_n(z)| \le 2 \alpha C_n \left|\frac{(a)_n (a-b+1)_n}{n! z^n} \right| \exp(2 \alpha \rho C_1 / |z|)
in terms of the following auxiliary quantities
.. math ::
\sigma = |(b-2a)/z|
C_n = \begin{cases}
1 & \text{if } R = 1 \\
\chi(n) & \text{if } R = 2 \\
(\chi(n) + \rho \nu^2 n) \nu^n & \text{if } R = 3
\end{cases}
\nu = \left(\tfrac{1}{2} + \tfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{1-4\sigma^2}\right)^{-1/2} \le 1 + 2 \sigma^2
\chi(n) = \sqrt{\pi} \Gamma(\tfrac{1}{2}n+1) / \Gamma(\tfrac{1}{2} n + \tfrac{1}{2})
\sigma' = \begin{cases}
\sigma & \text{if } R \ne 3 \\
\nu \sigma & \text{if } R = 3
\end{cases}
\alpha = (1 - \sigma')^{-1}
\rho = \tfrac{1}{2} |2a^2-2ab+b| + \sigma' (1+ \tfrac{1}{4} \sigma') (1-\sigma')^{-2}
.. function:: void acb_hypgeom_u_asymp(acb_t res, const acb_t a, const acb_t b, const acb_t z, long n, long prec)
Sets *res* to `z^a U(a,b,z)` computed using *n* terms of the asymptotic series,
with a rigorous bound for the error included in the output.
We require `\ge 0`.
The error function
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.. function:: void acb_hypgeom_erf_1f1a(acb_t res, const acb_t z, long prec)
.. function:: void acb_hypgeom_erf_1f1b(acb_t res, const acb_t z, long prec)
.. function:: void acb_hypgeom_erf_asymp(acb_t res, const acb_t z, long prec, long prec2)
.. function:: void acb_hypgeom_erf(acb_t res, const acb_t z, long prec)
Computes the error function respectively using
.. math ::
\operatorname{erf}(z) = \frac{2z}{\sqrt{\pi}}
{}_1F_1(\tfrac{1}{2}, \tfrac{3}{2}, -z^2)
\operatorname{erf}(z) = \frac{2z e^{-z^2}}{\sqrt{\pi}}
{}_1F_1(1, \tfrac{3}{2}, z^2)
\operatorname{erf}(z) = \frac{z}{\sqrt{z^2}}
\left(1 - \frac{e^{-z^2}}{\sqrt{\pi}}
U(\tfrac{1}{2}, \tfrac{1}{2}, z^2)\right).
and an automatic algorithm choice. The *asymp* version takes a second
precision to use for the *U* term.
