Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

We consider the generalized Gellerstedt equation ymzktluxx+xnzktluyy+xnymtluzz+xnymzkutt=0 in a domain R+4=x,y,z,t:x>0,y>0,z>0,t>0. Here m,n,k,l>0 are constants. The goal of the present paper is finding the fundamental solutions for the generalized four-dimensional Gellerstedt equation in an explicit form. Solutions are expressed by FA(4) Lauricella hypergeometric functions of four variables. By means of expansion of the hypergeometric Lauricella function by products of Gauss hypergeometric functions, it is proved that the found solutions have a singularity of the order 1/r2 at r→0. These fundamental solutions are important for solving a number of boundary value problems for the aforementioned degenerate elliptic equation. In addition, some properties of these solutions are shown.
