Hypergeometric functions are at the heart of many analytical and applied mathematical investigations. These functions, generally defined via power series that extend the geometric series, have been ...

The connection between functions of hypergeometric type and representations of certain Lie algebras is exploited by classifying the irreducible representations of the corresponding local Lie groups.

A three-complex-parameter class of orthogonal Laurent polynomials on the unit circle associated with basic hypergeometric or q-hypergeometric functions is considered. To be precise, we consider the ...
