A note on the real zeros of the basic confluent hypergeometric function
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
Some years back, Slater (4) discussed the approximations, based on the expansion in series, for the cases 1F1(a; b; x) = 0, when either of b and x or a and x are fixed. These approximations were based essentially on the well-known Newton's method of approximation and were helpful in the numerical evaluation of the small real zeros of the confluent hypergeometric function 1F1(a; b; x;). In this note, we deal with the corresponding problem for the basic confluent hypergeometric function 1Φ1(a; b; x;).
