Metal surface evolution is described by a nonlinear fourth-order partial differential equation for curvature-driven flow. The standard boundary conditions for grain-boundary grooving, at a grain-grain-fluid triple intersection, involve a prescribed slope at the groove axis. The well-known similarity reduction is no longer valid when the dihedral angle and surface diffusivity depend on time due to variation of the surface temperature. We adapt a nonlinear fourth-order model that can be discerned from symmetry analysis to be integrable, equivalent to the fourth-order linear diffusion equation. The connection between classical symmetries and separation of variables allows us to develop the correction to the self-similar approximation as a power series in a time-like variable.

Corresponding to the incomplete gamma functions, found useful in many problems, we propose incomplete exponential functions. Like the generalized incomplete gamma functions, the proposed functions have an additional parameter. It is shown that these functions can be related to Bessel functions. This leads us naturally to an incomplete extension of the hypergeometric function. The usefulness of these functions in some closed form representation of the non central chi(2)-distributions is demonstrated.

Contiguous hypergeometric relations for semiclassical discrete orthogonal polynomials are described as Christoffel and Geronimus transformations. Using the Christoffel-Geronimus-Uvarov formulas quasi-determinantal expressions for the shifted semiclassical discrete orthogonal polynomials are obtained.

The main object of the present paper is to investigate some classes of series identities and their applications and consequences leading naturally to several (known or new) hypergeometric reduction formulas. We also indicate how some of these series identities and reduction formulas would yield several series identities which emerged recently in the context of fractional calculus (that is, calculus of integrals and derivatives of any arbitrary real or complex order).

This paper presents a parametric family of compactly-supported positive semidefinite kernels aimed to model the covariance structure of second-order stationary isotropic random fields defined in the d-dimensional Euclidean space. Both the covariance and its spectral density have an analytic expression involving the hypergeometricfunctions F-2(1) and F-1(2), respectively, and four real-valued parameters related to the correlation range, smoothness and shape of the covariance. The presented hypergeometric kernel family contains, as special cases, the spherical, cubic, penta, Askey, generalized Wendland and truncated power covariances and, as asymptotic cases, the Matern, Laguerre, Tricomi, incomplete gamma and Gaussian covariances, among others. The parameter space of the univariate hypergeometric kernel is identified and its functional properties-continuity, smoothness, transitive upscaling (montee) and downscaling (descente)-are examined. Several sets of sufficient conditions are also derived to obtain valid stationary bivariate and multivariate covariance kernels, characterized by four matrix-valued parameters. Such kernels turn out to be versatile, insofar as the direct and cross-covariances do not necessarily have the same shapes, correlation ranges or behaviors at short scale, thus associated with vector random fields whose components are cross-correlated but have different spatial structures.

The principal aim of the current article is to establish new formulas of Chebyshev polynomials of the sixth-kind. Two different approaches are followed to derive new connection formulas between these polynomials and some other orthogonal polynomials. The connection coefficients are expressed in terms of terminating hypergeometricfunctions of certain arguments;however, they can be reduced in some cases. New moment formulas of the sixth-kind Chebyshev polynomials are also established, and in virtue of such formulas, linearization formulas of these polynomials are developed.

We use connection relations and series rearrangement to generalize generating functions for several higher continuous orthogonal polynomials in the Askey scheme, namely the Wilson, continuous dual Hahn, continuous Hahn, and Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials. We also determine corresponding definite integrals using the orthogonality relations for these polynomials. Published by Elsevier Inc.

We consider the generalized eigenvalue problem for the classical Euler differential equation and demonstrate its intimate connection with Meijer's G-functions. In the course of deriving the solution of the generalized Euler eigenvalue equation we review some of the basics of generalized hypergeometric functions and Meijer's G-functions and some of its special cases where the underlying Mellin-type integrand exhibits higher-order poles.

The relation between the Wilson-Polchinski and the Litim optimized ERGEs in the local potential approximation is studied with high accuracy using two different analytical approaches based on a field expansion: a recently proposed genuine analytical approximation scheme to two-point boundary value problems of ordinary differential equations, and a new one based on approximating the solution by generalized hypergeometric functions. A comparison with the numerical results obtained with the shooting method is made. A similar accuracy is reached in each case. Both two methods appear to be more efficient than the usual field expansions frequently used in the current studies of ERGEs (in particular for the Wilson-Polchinski case in the study of which they fail).
