§15.7 Continued Fractions

If |ph(1z)|<π, then

15.7.1 𝐅(a,b;c;z)𝐅(a,b+1;c+1;z)=t0u1zt1u2zt2u3zt3,

where

15.7.2 tn =c+n,
u2n+1 =(a+n)(cb+n),
u2n =(b+n)(ca+n).

If |z|<1, then

15.7.3 𝐅(a,b;c;z)𝐅(a,b+1;c+1;z)=v0w1v1w2v2w3v3,

where

15.7.4 vn =c+n+(ba+n+1)z,
wn =(b+n)(ca+n)z.

If z<12, then

15.7.5 𝐅(a,b;c;z)𝐅(a+1,b+1;c+1;z)=x0+y1x1+y2x2+y3x3+,

where

15.7.6 xn =c+n(a+b+2n+1)z,
yn =(a+n)(b+n)z(1z).
