Function: int gsl_sf_hyperg_U_e10_e (double a, double b, double x, gsl_sf_result_e10 * result)

This routine computes the confluent hypergeometric function @math{U(a,b,x)} using the gsl_sf_result_e10 type to return a result with extended range.

Function: double gsl_sf_hyperg_2F1 (double a, double b, double c, double x)

Function: int gsl_sf_hyperg_2F1_e (double a, double b, double c, double x, gsl_sf_result * result)

Function: int gsl_sf_hyperg_2F1_conj_e (double aR, double aI, double c, double x, gsl_sf_result * result)

These routines compute the Gauss hypergeometric function @math{2F1(a_R + i a_I, a_R - i a_I, c, x)} with complex parameters for @math{|x| < 1}. exceptions:

Function: double gsl_sf_hyperg_2F1_renorm (double a, double b, double c, double x)

Function: int gsl_sf_hyperg_2F1_renorm_e (double a, double b, double c, double x, gsl_sf_result * result)

These routines compute the renormalized Gauss hypergeometric function @math{2F1(a,b,c,x) / \Gamma(c)} for @math{|x| < 1}.

Function: double gsl_sf_hyperg_2F1_conj_renorm (double aR, double aI, double c, double x)

Function: int gsl_sf_hyperg_2F1_conj_renorm_e (double aR, double aI, double c, double x, gsl_sf_result * result)

Function: double gsl_sf_hyperg_2F0 (double a, double b, double x)

Function: int gsl_sf_hyperg_2F0_e (double a, double b, double x, gsl_sf_result * result)

These routines compute the hypergeometric function @c{${}_2F_0(a,b,x)$} @math{2F0(a,b,x)}. The series representation is a divergent hypergeometric series. However, for @math{x < 0} we have @math{2F0(a,b,x) = (-1/x)^a U(a,1+a-b,-1/x)}
