ⓘ

Keywords:: Kummer functions, addition theorems, series expansions
Notes:: See Erdélyi et al. (1953a, §6.14) and Slater (1960, §2.3). In the first reference Equation (2) needs the constraint $|\lambda-1|<1$ and Equation (6) should have no constraint. In the second reference (2.3.6) contains an error: $(x+y)^{n}$ should be replaced by $(x+y)^{-n}$ .
