Abstract

In two previous papers [7, 10] the algebraic and transcendental values of the Gauss hypergeometric series

F(a, b; c; z) = 1+abcz1!+a(a+1)b(b+1)c(c+1)z22!+… (1·1)

were investigated, for various real rational parameters a; b; c and algebraic and rational values of z ∈ (0, 1), by applying the singular values of the complete elliptic integral of the first kind K(k) to certain classical F transformation formulae, where k denotes the modulus. Our main aim in the present paper is to use similar methods to determine the special values of (1·1) for the case a = 112, b = 712 and c = 23.
