Abstract
Owing to the remarkable success of the hypergeometric functions of one variable, the authors present a study of some families of hypergeometric functions of two or more variables. These functions include (for example) the Kampé de Fériet-type hypergeometric functions in two variables and Srivastava’s general hypergeometric function in three variables. The main aim of this paper is to provide several (presumably new) transformation and summation formulas for appropriately specified members of each of these families of hypergeometric functions in two and three variables. The methodology and techniques, which are used in this paper, are based upon the evaluation of some definite integrals involving logarithmic functions in terms of Riemann’s zeta function, Catalan’s constant, polylogarithm functions, and so on.

The first-named author (H. M. Srivastava) wishes to pay a tribute and dedicate this article to Joseph (or, more precisely, Marie-Joseph) Kampé de Fériet (1893–1982) of Université Lille Nord de France, with whom he had the proud privilege to have personally met in France in September 1970, and with whom he also mutually discussed contemporary mathematical researches, especially on various families of hypergeometric and generalized functions of one, two and more variables. Undoubtedly, the enormous contributions to this field as well as to various other related fields by Paul Émile Appell (1855–1930) and Marie-Joseph Kampé de Fériet (1893–1982), which we have investigated and developed in this article, will continue to inspire and encourage future researchers in each of these fields.
