Extract

I. There are several methods for obtaining transformations of hypergeometric functions of two variables.

Firstly, by transformation of the hypergeometric series. When the double series is rewritten as an infinite sum of hypergeometric functions of one variable, the known transformation theory of such functions can be applied to each term. This method is quite simple and, in a limited range, very effective for discovering transformations as well as proving them.

Secondly, by transformation of the systems of partial differential equations satisfied by the hypergeometric functions. This method, though simple in theory, is rather laborious in practice and not very useful for discovering new transformations.
