Stokes matrices of hypergeometric integrals

Alexey Glutsyuk, Christophe Sabot (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this work we compute the Stokes matrices of the ordinary differential equation satisfied by the hypergeometric integrals associated to an arrangement of hyperplanes in generic position. This generalizes the computation done by J.-P. Ramis for confluent hypergeometric functions, which correspond to the arrangement of two points on the line. The proof is based on an explicit description of a base of canonical solutions as integrals on the cones of the arrangement, and combinatorial relations between...

Successive derivatives and finite expansions involving the H-function of one and more variables

C. M. Joshi, N. L. Joshi (1997)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Certain results including the successive derivatives of the H-function of one and more variables are established. These remove the limitations of Ławrynowicz's (1969) formulas and as a result extend the results of Skibiński [13] and various other authors. As an application some finite expansion formulas are also established, which reduce to hypergeometric functions of one and more variables that are of common interest.

Symplectic Representation of a Braid Group on 3-Sheeted Covers of the Riemann Sphere

Rolf-Peter, Holzapfel (1997)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

We define Picard cycles on each smooth three-sheeted Galois cover C of the Riemann sphere. The moduli space of all these algebraic curves is a nice Shimura surface, namely a symmetric quotient of the projective plane uniformized by the complex two-dimensional unit ball. We show that all Picard cycles on C form a simple orbit of the Picard modular group of Eisenstein numbers. The proof uses a special surface classification in connection with the uniformization of a classical Picard-Fuchs system....

Time-Fractional Derivatives in Relaxation Processes: A Tutorial Survey

Mainardi, Francesco, Gorenflo, Rudolf (2007)

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33, 33E12, 33C60, 44A10, 45K05, 74D05,The aim of this tutorial survey is to revisit the basic theory of relaxation processes governed by linear differential equations of fractional order. The fractional derivatives are intended both in the Rieamann-Liouville sense and in the Caputo sense. After giving a necessary outline of the classica theory of linear viscoelasticity, we contrast these two types of fractiona derivatives in their ability to take into...
