嫪丽切拉函数

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

:
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|
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| 2| 3|
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
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| 2| 3| i 为：

:(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： FE, FF, ..., FT .

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

:
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:

:
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).

FD积分式
:
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_1t)^{-b_1} \cdots (1-x_nt)^{-b_n} \,\mathrm{d}t, \quad \real \,c > \real \,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。
:
\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 |\real \,\phi|
