FoxHReduce

FoxHReduce[expr,x]

attempts to reduce expr to a single FoxH object as a function of x.

Details and Options

  • FoxH representations of mathematical functions are widely used in the areas of symbolic integration, integral transforms, statistics and others.
  • FoxHReduce will attempt to represent any expression as a FoxH object.
  • FoxHReduce returns results in an inert form Inactive[FoxH][…].
  • The original function can be recovered from the result by using Activate. »
  • FoxHReduce automatically threads over lists.
  • Assumptions on parameters may be specified using the Assumptions option.
  • FoxHReduce has properties similar to MeijerGReduce, but it is able to generate a FoxH representation for different functions not representable in terms of MeijerGReduce.

Applications  (5)

FoxHReduce outputs the most general representation of special functions in terms of FoxH functions:

The family of MittagLefflerE functions is FoxH representable:

However, these functions are not representable in terms of MeijerG:

For some families of special functions, the FoxH representation is simpler than the MeijerG one:

In this case, MeijerGReduce generates a rather complicated output with two MeijerG functions:

While representation via FoxHReduce is much more simpler:

For certain families, the FoxH representation is more intuitive than the MeijerG representation:

Properties & Relations  (6)

FoxHReduce returns FoxH representation of the function in Inactive form:

Use Activate to evaluate the result:
