Given a, b, c and z, compute Gauss' Hypergeometric Function, specified
by the series:
1 + (a * b/c) * z + (a * (a + 1) * b * (b + 1) / ((c * (c + 1)) * z**2 / 2 +
... (a)_n * (b)_n / (c)_n * z ** n / n! + ....
Args
a
Floating-point Tensor, broadcastable with b, c, z. Parameter for the
numerator of the series fraction.
b
Floating-point Tensor, broadcastable with a, c, z. Parameter for the
numerator of the series fraction.
c
Floating-point Tensor, broadcastable with a, b, z. Parameter for the
denominator of the series fraction.
z
Floating-point Tensor, broadcastable a, b, c. Value to compute
2F1(a, b, c, z) at. Only values of |z| < 1 are allowed.
name
A name for the operation (optional).
Default value: None (i.e., 'continued_fraction').
Returns
hypergeo
2F1(a, b, c, z)
