How to Reduce a Function to a Hypergeometric Using a Change of Variables?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on reducing a mathematical function to a hypergeometric function through a specific change of variables. The variable transformation used is x = r²/(r² + 1). Participants emphasize the importance of this substitution in simplifying the function and achieving the desired hypergeometric form. The exercise is framed within the context of a homework question, highlighting the challenges faced in this mathematical reduction process.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of hypergeometric functions

making the change of variables x=r^2/(r^2+1)

and then to reduce it to a hypergeometric , using http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/4479/syz6.jpg


Thanks in advance
