Abstract

Certain formal series of a most general nature are specialized so as to deduce expansions in terms of a class of generalized hypergeometric functions. These series generalize the Neumann and Kapteyn series in the theory of Bessel functions, and their convergence is investigated. An example of a succinct expansion is also given.
