20. An examination of makes it appear as though the expansion does not apply to the case when the middle index equals unity. However shows that it does hold in this case, it is only that the expansion can be simplified to a hypergeometric function (we do not require this simplification). We have also verified by direct numerical evaluation, comparing it to the results of.
21. We have numerically checked that agrees with for small ξ.
