Generalizations of the Jacobi identity to the case of the Lauricella function F D ( N )

Abstract

ABSTRACT The paper considers the issue of constructing differential relations for the Lauricella hypergeometric function F D ( N ) . The formulas found give explicit expressions for the derivative of the product of the function F D ( N ) and some binomials through the product of other binomials and a combination of adjacent Lauricella functions whose parameters differ by 1 or − 1 . The derived differential relations generalize the Jacobi identity and other differential formulas known in the theory of the Gauss hypergeometric function on the multidimensional case. With special parameter values F D ( N ) , the right-hand side of such Jacobi-type formulas are simplified and have the form of a product of binomials and a polynomial. Such formulas can be used to transform a Cauchy-type integral to the form of the Schwartz–Christoffel integral and have an application to the Riemann–Hilbert problem with piecewise constant coefficients.
