"well-poised"[edit]

This page erroneously redirects to Well-posed problem. I am not aware of any reason (aside from confusion or typographical error) why these terms should be related. It would probably be better to turn this page into a math stub so others can find it, refer to it, and flesh it out.

A well-poised Generalized hypergeometric function is one of the form ${}_{p}F_{q}(a_{1},\dots ,a_{p};b_{1},\dots ,b_{q};z)$ such that $p=q+1$ and $1+a_{1}=b_{1}+a_{2}=\dots =b_{q}+a_{q+1}$ .^[1] This is relevant when attempting to apply Dixon's Identity or Dougall's formula. The qualities of being balanced (or k-balanced), well-poised, and very well-poised. Are also applicable to Basic hypergeometric series, but I cannot comment further.

The only page to link to "Well-poised" is Wikipedia:Missing_science_topics/ExistingMathW, which suggests that several aware of the more proper meaning of well-poised, even if it is not yet supported with an article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.207.39.84 (talk • contribs) 17:42, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
