Abstract

A method for fast and highly accurate evaluation of the generalized hypergeometric function p F p驴1(a 1, ..., a p ; b 1, ..., b p驴1; 1) = 驴 k = 0 驴 f k by means of the Hurwitz zeta function 驴(驴, s) is developed. Based on asymptotic analysis of the coefficients f k , an expansion of p F p驴1 is constructed as a combination of the functions 驴(驴, s) with explicit coefficients expressed in terms of the generalized Bernoulli polynomials. An appropriate selection of the parameter 驴 and the number of terms of the asymptotic expansion makes it possible to obtain the result with any desired degree of accuracy. The use of computer algebra methods, efficient numerical algorithms, and stochastic optimization methods considerably improve the efficiency of the suggested method.
