Calling Sequence

gauss_a (a, b, c, x)

Description

gauss_a(a,b,c,x) and gauss_b(a,b,c,x) are 2F1 geometric functions. They represent any two independent solutions of the hypergeometric differential equation x(1-x) diff(y,x,2) + [c-(a+b+1)x diff(y,x) - aby = 0 (A&S 15.5.1).

The only use of these functions is in solutions of ODEs returned by odelin and contrib_ode. The definition and use of these functions may change in future releases of Maxima.
