Hypergeometric pFq
The generalized hypergeometric function ${}_pF_q$ is defined by $${}_pF_q(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_p;b_1,\ldots,b_q;z)=\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \dfrac{(a_1)_k(a_2)_k\ldots(a_p)_k}{(b_1)_k(b_2)_k\ldots(b_q)_k} \dfrac{z^k}{k!},$$ where $(a_1)_k$ denotes the Pochhammer symbol.
Properties
