嫪丽切拉函数

嫪丽切拉函数（Lauricella functions）是1893年意大利数学家Giuseppe Lauricella（英语：Giuseppe Lauricella）首先研究的三元超几何函数。

${\displaystyle F_{A}^{(3)}(a,b_{1},b_{2},b_{3},c_{1},c_{2},c_{3};x_{1},x_{2},x_{3})=\sum _{i_{1},i_{2},i_{3}=0}^{\infty }{\frac {(a)_{i_{1}+i_{2}+i_{3}}(b_{1})_{i_{1}}(b_{2})_{i_{2}}(b_{3})_{i_{3}}}{(c_{1})_{i_{1}}(c_{2})_{i_{2}}(c_{3})_{i_{3}}\,i_{1}!\,i_{2}!\,i_{3}!}}\,x_{1}^{i_{1}}x_{2}^{i_{2}}x_{3}^{i_{3}}}$

其中 |x₁| + |x₂| + |x₃| < 1

${\displaystyle F_{B}^{(3)}(a_{1},a_{2},a_{3},b_{1},b_{2},b_{3},c;x_{1},x_{2},x_{3})=\sum _{i_{1},i_{2},i_{3}=0}^{\infty }{\frac {(a_{1})_{i_{1}}(a_{2})_{i_{2}}(a_{3})_{i_{3}}(b_{1})_{i_{1}}(b_{2})_{i_{2}}(b_{3})_{i_{3}}}{(c)_{i_{1}+i_{2}+i_{3}}\,i_{1}!\,i_{2}!\,i_{3}!}}\,x_{1}^{i_{1}}x_{2}^{i_{2}}x_{3}^{i_{3}}}$

其中 |x₁| < 1, |x₂| < 1, |x₃| < 1

${\displaystyle F_{C}^{(3)}(a,b,c_{1},c_{2},c_{3};x_{1},x_{2},x_{3})=\sum _{i_{1},i_{2},i_{3}=0}^{\infty }{\frac {(a)_{i_{1}+i_{2}+i_{3}}(b)_{i_{1}+i_{2}+i_{3}}}{(c_{1})_{i_{1}}(c_{2})_{i_{2}}(c_{3})_{i_{3}}\,i_{1}!\,i_{2}!\,i_{3}!}}\,x_{1}^{i_{1}}x_{2}^{i_{2}}x_{3}^{i_{3}}}$

其中|x₁|^½ + |x₂|^½ + |x₃|^½ < 1

${\displaystyle F_{D}^{(3)}(a,b_{1},b_{2},b_{3},c;x_{1},x_{2},x_{3})=\sum _{i_{1},i_{2},i_{3}=0}^{\infty }{\frac {(a)_{i_{1}+i_{2}+i_{3}}(b_{1})_{i_{1}}(b_{2})_{i_{2}}(b_{3})_{i_{3}}}{(c)_{i_{1}+i_{2}+i_{3}}\,i_{1}!\,i_{2}!\,i_{3}!}}\,x_{1}^{i_{1}}x_{2}^{i_{2}}x_{3}^{i_{3}}}$

其中 |x₁| < 1, |x₂| < 1, |x₃| < 1.

其中阶乘幂 (q)_i 为：

${\displaystyle (q)_{i}=q\,(q+1)\cdots (q+i-1)={\frac {\Gamma (q+i)}{\Gamma (q)}}~,}$

通过解析延拓，可将 x₁, x₂, x₃等变数扩展到其他数值.

Lauricella指出，另外还有十个三元超几何函数： F_E, F_F, ..., F_T (Saran 1954).

n 元推广

嫪丽切拉n变量函数${\displaystyle F_{A}^{(n)}}$

${\displaystyle F_{A}^{(n)}\left(a;b_{1},\ldots ,b_{n};c_{1},\ldots ,c_{n};z_{1},\ldots ,z_{n}\right)=\sum _{k_{1}=0}^{\infty }\ldots \sum _{k_{n}=0}^{\infty }{\frac {(a)_{k_{1}+\ldots +k_{n}}\left(b_{1}\right)_{k_{1}}\ldots \left(b_{n}\right)_{k_{n}}}{\left(c_{1}\right)_{k_{1}}\ldots \left(c_{n}\right)_{k_{n}}}}{\frac {z_{1}^{k_{1}}\ldots z_{n}^{k_{n}}}{k_{1}!\ldots k_{n}!}};/\left|z_{1}\right|+\ldots +\left|z_{n}\right|<1}$

嫪丽切拉n变量函数${\displaystyle F_{B}^{(n)}}$

${\displaystyle F_{B}^{(n)}\left(a_{1},\ldots ,a_{n};b_{1},\ldots ,b_{n};c;z_{1},\ldots ,z_{n}\right)=\sum _{k_{1}=0}^{\infty }\ldots \sum _{k_{n}=0}^{\infty }{\frac {\left(a_{1}\right)_{k_{1}}\ldots \left(a_{n}\right)_{k_{n}}\left(b_{1}\right)_{k_{1}}\ldots \left(b_{n}\right)_{k_{n}}}{\left(c\right)_{k_{1}+\dots k_{n}}}}{\frac {z_{1}^{k_{1}}\ldots z_{n}^{k_{n}}}{k_{1}!\ldots k_{n}!}};/\max(\left|z_{1}\right|,\dots ,\left|z_{n}\right|)<1}$

嫪丽切拉n变量函数${\displaystyle F_{C}^{(n)}}$

${\displaystyle F_{C}^{(n)}\left(a;b;c_{1},\ldots ,c_{n};z_{1},\ldots ,z_{n}\right)=\sum _{k_{1}=0}^{\infty }\ldots \sum _{k_{n}=0}^{\infty }{\frac {(a)_{k_{1}+\ldots +k_{n}}(b)_{k_{1}+\ldots +k_{n}}}{\left(c_{1}\right)_{k_{1}}\ldots \left(c_{n}\right)_{k_{n}}}}{\frac {z_{1}^{k_{1}}\ldots z_{n}^{k_{n}}}{k_{1}!\ldots k_{n}!}};/{\sqrt {\left|z_{1}\right|}}+\ldots +{\sqrt {\left|z_{n}\right|}}<1}$

嫪丽切拉n变量函数${\displaystyle F_{D}^{(n)}}$

${\displaystyle F_{D}^{(n)}\left(a;b_{1},\ldots ,b_{n};c;z_{1},\ldots ,z_{n}\right)=\sum _{k_{1}=0}^{\infty }\ldots \sum _{k_{n}=0}^{\infty }{\frac {\left(a\right)_{k_{1}+\dots k_{n}}\left(b_{1}\right)_{k_{1}}\ldots \left(b_{n}\right)_{k_{n}}}{\left(c\right)_{k_{1}+\dots k_{n}}}}{\frac {z_{1}^{k_{1}}\ldots z_{n}^{k_{n}}}{k_{1}!\ldots k_{n}!}};/\max(\left|z_{1}\right|,\dots ,\left|z_{n}\right|)<1}$

当 n = 2,时 the Lauricella 超几何函数化为二元阿佩尔函数 :

${\displaystyle F_{A}^{(2)}\equiv F_{2},\quad F_{B}^{(2)}\equiv F_{3},\quad F_{C}^{(2)}\equiv F_{4},\quad F_{D}^{(2)}\equiv F_{1}.}$

当 n = 1, a则化为超几何函数:

${\displaystyle F_{A}^{(1)}(a,b,c;x)\equiv F_{B}^{(1)}(a,b,c;x)\equiv F_{C}^{(1)}(a,b,c;x)\equiv F_{D}^{(1)}(a,b,c;x)\equiv {_{2}}F_{1}(a,b;c;x).}$

F_D积分式

${\displaystyle F_{D}^{(n)}(a,b_{1},\ldots ,b_{n},c;x_{1},\ldots ,x_{n})={\frac {\Gamma (c)}{\Gamma (a)\Gamma (c-a)}}\int _{0}^{1}t^{a-1}(1-t)^{c-a-1}(1-x_{1}t)^{-b_{1}}\cdots (1-x_{n}t)^{-b_{n}}\,\mathrm {d} t,\quad \Re \,c>\Re \,a>0~.}$

第三类不完全椭圆积分可以通过三元的嫪丽切拉函数表示。

${\displaystyle \Pi (n,\phi ,k)=\int _{0}^{\phi }{\frac {\mathrm {d} \theta }{(1-n\sin ^{2}\theta ){\sqrt {1-k^{2}\sin ^{2}\theta }}}}=\sin \phi \,F_{D}^{(3)}({\tfrac {1}{2}},1,{\tfrac {1}{2}},{\tfrac {1}{2}},{\tfrac {3}{2}};n\sin ^{2}\phi ,\sin ^{2}\phi ,k^{2}\sin ^{2}\phi ),\quad |\Re \,\phi |<{\frac {\pi }{2}}~.}$
