On the discrete analogues of Appell function $F_3$

Abstract

The present paper is devoted to the study of Appell hypergeometric function $F_3$ from discrete point of view. We mainly introduce two generalized discrete forms of $F_3$ and study their basic properties \emph{viz.} regions of convergence, difference-differential equations, integral representations, finite and infinite sums, recursion formulae, to name a few.
