Computing q+1Fq via rational conformal maps

Abstract

It is well-known that certain Möbius (linear fractional) transformations provide analytic continuation of the Gauss hypergeometric function. These transformations work by exchanging the roles of the three regular singular points and $0$, $1$, and ∞ of the Gauss hypergeometric differential equation. Not one of these transformations, however, brings the points e±iπ/3 closer to the origin, and convergence in a neighbourhood of these is also troublesome. In this work, we produce a Maclaurin series in optimal complexity after rational conformal mapping that induces pointwise convergence to any q+1Fq throughout the cut complex plane ℂ∖[1,∞). We show that for the optimal parameter values this series converges faster than an approximate mapped Chebyshev series obtained by the ultraspherical spectral method.
