hyp2f1
Gauss hypergeometric function 2F1.SYNOPSIS:
double a, b, c, x, y, hyp2f1();
y = hyp2f1(a, b, c, x);
DESCRIPTION:
hyp2f1( a, b, c, x ) = F ( a, b; c; x )
2 1
inf.
- a(a+1)...(a+k) b(b+1)...(b+k) k+1
= 1 + > ----------------------------- x .
- c(c+1)...(c+k) (k+1)!
k = 0
Cases addressed are:
Tests and escapes for negative integer a, b, or c
Linear transformation if c - a or c - b negative integer
Special case c = a or c = b
Linear transformation for x near +1
Transformation for x < -0.5
Psi function expansion if x > 0.5 and c - a - b integer Conditionally, a recurrence on c to make c-a-b > 0
|x| > 1 is rejected.
The parameters a, b, c are considered to be integer valued if they are within 1.0e-14 of the nearest integer (1.0e-13 for IEEE arithmetic).
ACCURACY:
Relative error (-1 < x < 1):
arithmetic domain # trials peak rms
IEEE -1,7 230000 1.2e-11 5.2e-14
Several special cases also tested with a, b, c in the range -7 to 7.
ERROR MESSAGES:
A "partial loss of precision" message is printed if the internally estimated relative error exceeds 1^-12.
A "singularity" message is printed on overflow or in cases not addressed (such as x < -1).
