Abstract

A case of a Pfaff transformation is given by the following:

2 F 1 ( l , m 2 m ; x ) = ( 1 x ) l 2 F 1 ( l , m 2 m ; x x 1 ) .

In this paper, when m is a negative integer, we define the Gaussian hypergeometric series as follows:

2 F 1 ( l , m 2 m ; x ) = k = 0 m ( l ) k ( m ) k k ! ( 2 m ) k x k ,

which is well-defined, as it is a terminating hypergeometric series since the summation is only for k = 0 , . . , m; additionally, the fact that 2 m is a negative integer does not make any harm. With this definition, if we take m = 1 and l = 1, then the left-hand side is a terminating hypergeometric series equal to 1 + x 2 , while the right-hand side is also a terminating hypergeometric series, but has 1 as the pole of multiplicity 2 given by 3 x 2 2 ( x 1 ) 2 . More generally, with the definition above, we prove that this case of the Pfaff transformation does not hold for any positive integer l and for any negative integer m. Additionally, an analysis aims to solve this situation. In fact, we give a new expression V ( l , m ) ( x ) depending on l , m, and x such that

( 1 x ) l 2 F 1 ( l , m 2 m ; x x 1 ) = 2 F 1 ( l , m 2 m ; x ) + V ( l , m ) ( x ) ,

for any positive integer l and for any negative integer m. As a very interesting consequence we present a corollary from the boundary conditions, thereby providing the following:

(1) an expansion of x 2 n + 1 as a sum of two terminating hypergeometric series (with symmetric values) with the coefficients given in the integer sequence A 046899 (these coefficients can be found in Pascal's triangle as an inclined column);

(2) an expansion of x 2 n + 1 ( x 2 ) as a sum of two terminating hypergeometric series (with symmetric values) with the coefficients given in the integer sequence A 033184.
