Talk:Well-poised

"well-poised"
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 $${}_pF_q(a_1,\dots,a_p;b_1,\dots,b_q;z)$$ such that $$p=q+1$$ and $$1+a_1=b_1+a_2=\dots=b_q+a_{q+1}$$. 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 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)


 * Comment From a dictionary

"Carefully or exactly balanced; held in stable equilibrium; (hence) having a graceful bearing; completely composed and self-assured."
