Abstract We describe a method of obtaining weighted norm inequalities for generalized hypergeometric functions. This method is based upon our recent convolution theorem and some classical hypergeometric identities. In particular, it is shown that some product identities involving the divergent hypergeometric series lead to the convergent hypergeometric inequalities. A number of the new weighted norm inequalities for the Gaussian hypergeometric function, confluent hypergeometric function, and other generalized hypergeometric functions are presented.

1 Introduction The generalized hypergeometric functions, i.e., functions which are given by the generalized hypergeometric series, play a fundamental role in analysis, mathematical physics, statistics, number theory, and other fields. Many of their properties have been widely known and actively used for years (see, e.g., [1–3, 5, 8, 9, 20, 22–25]). In fact, most of the functions which are usually used in applied mathematics, physics, and engineering can be presented in the form of a convergent hypergeometric series. We mention that the role of the divergent hypergeometric series and the corresponding formal functions is much less visible in applications. One can say the same about the A.Z.

role of the sharp inequalities in terms of the generalized hypergeometric functions: physicists, engineers, and even mathematicians used to have only rough estimates at their disposal. In particular, it concerns the weighted norm inequalities of a different kind. Indeed, the standard tools used in this connection are not sensitive enough to the hypergeometric structure and they lead to the analysis of numerous special cases. In this paper, we describe a method which allows us to deal with the hypergeometric peculiarity and obtain various weighted norm inequalities for the generalized hypergeometric functions. This method is essentially based upon our recent convolution theorem [14] and some classical hypergeometric identities. In particular, we show that some product identities involving the divergent hypergeometric series lead to the convergent hypergeometric inequalities. A number of the new weighted norm inequalities for the Gaussian hypergeometric function, confluent hypergeometric function, and other generalized hypergeometric functions are presented in Sect. 4. In Sect. 2, we overvie
