Synopsis

This book is a blend of theory and applications of generalized special functions, especially Meijer's G-functions. Properties of these functions are illustrated with worked examples and thus these complicated functions should be accessible to the potential user. Applications of these functions into mathematical statistics and astrophysics are integrated into the text. Thus this book should be a valuable reference source and manual for those working in any branch of mathematical statistics, mathematical physics and several branches of mathematics. After developing the scalar variable case vector and matrix variable analogues are also developed in this book. A comprehensive development of special functions of matrix argument is given. Introductory development of various topics in this area are in this chapter. These give rise to a large variety of research problems for people working on one or more scaler variable cases of generalized special functions.
