§16.26 Approximations
►For discussions of the approximation of generalized
hypergeometric functions and the Meijer
-
function in terms of polynomials, rational
functions, and Chebyshev polynomials see
Luke (1975, §§5.12 - 5.13) and
Luke (1977b, Chapters 1 and 9).
§17.18 Methods of Computation
…
►The two main methods for computing basic
hypergeometric functions are: (1) numerical summation of the defining series given in §§
17.4(i) and
17.4(ii); (2) modular transformations.

hypergeometric functions and Appell
functions appear in the evaluation of the so-called Watson integrals which characterize the simplest possible lattice walks.
