Full-text: Open access

Abstract

The general hypergeometric functions of confluent type are studied. We establish a link between the general hypergeometric functions defined by 1-dimensional integrals and those defined by multi-dimensional integrals. The key point is to form an intermediate Wronskian determinant for the 1-dimensional ones and to rewrite it into a multi-dimensional integral using the generalized Veronese map.
