The main functions treated in this chapter are the generalized hypergeometric function ${{}_{p}F_{q}}\left({a_{1},\dots,a_{p}\atop b_{1},\dots,b_{q}};z\right)$ , the Appell (two-variable hypergeometric) functions ${F_{1}}\left(\alpha;\beta,\beta^{\prime};\gamma;x,y\right)$ , ${F_{2}}\left(\alpha;\beta,\beta^{\prime};\gamma,\gamma^{\prime};x,y\right)$ , ${F_{3}}\left(\alpha,\alpha^{\prime};\beta,\beta^{\prime};\gamma;x,y\right)$ , ${F_{4}}\left(\alpha,\beta;\gamma,\gamma^{\prime};x,y\right)$ , and the Meijer $G$ -function ${G^{m,n}_{p,q}}\left(z;{a_{1},\dots,a_{p}\atop b_{1},\dots,b_{q}}\right)$ . Alternative notations are ${{}_{p}F_{q}}\left({\mathbf{a}\atop\mathbf{b}};z\right)$ , ${{}_{p}F_{q}}\left(a_{1},\dots,a_{p};b_{1},\dots,b_{q};z\right)$ , and ${{}_{p}F_{q}}\left(\mathbf{a};\mathbf{b};z\right)$ for the generalized hypergeometric function, $F_{1}(\alpha,\beta,\beta^{\prime};\gamma;x,y)$ , $F_{2}(\alpha,\beta,\beta^{\prime};\gamma,\gamma^{\prime};x,y)$ , $F_{3}(\alpha,\alpha^{\prime},\beta,\beta^{\prime};\gamma;x,y)$ , $F_{4}(\alpha,\beta;\gamma,\gamma^{\prime};x,y)$ , for the Appell functions, and ${G^{m,n}_{p,q}}\left(z;\mathbf{a};\mathbf{b}\right)$ for the Meijer $G$ -function.
