Hypergeometric representations and differential-difference relations for some kernels appearing in mathematical physics

Abstract

The paper is an investigation of the analytic properties of a new class of special functions that appear in the kernels of a class of integral operators underlying the dynamics of matter relaxation processes in attractive fields. These functions, recently introduced by the second author, generate the kernels of the principal parts of these operators and play an important role in understanding their spectral characteristics. We reveal the representations of these functions in terms of the Gauss and Clausen hypergeometric functions and present differential-difference and differential equations they satisfy. Mathematically, the results include calculation of certain trigonometric double integrals and derivation of their other properties. Furthermore, they represent a potentially useful tool in matter relaxation in an external field, the study of nanoelectronic electrolyte-based systems and dynamics of charge carriers in media with obstacles.
