Extract

1. In this note a definite integral involving the product of Meijer's G-function and a generalized hypergeometric function is evaluated with the help of finite difference operators E. As the generalized hypergeometric function and Meijer's G-function may be converted into a number of polynomials and higher transcendental functions, the integral leads to a generalization of many results. The results given by Agrawal ((l), integral 4), Sharma ((7), integral 1) in these proceedings, Bhonsle ((2), p. 188) and Saxena ((6), p. 198) follow as particular cases of our formula. In what follows v, μ, m and h are positive integers and either of v and μ may be zero. The symbol Δ(m, a) denotes a set of m parameters a/m, (a + 1 )/m, …, (a + m − 1 )/m.
