1. Introduction

The theory of special functions is closely related to the theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras, as well as certain topics in mathematical physics. Symbolic computation and engineering problems usually recognize the majority of special functions. Recently, there has been a surge in the study of recursion formulas for multivariable hypergeometric functions. Recursion formulas for the Appell function have been investigated by Opps et al. [1], followed by Wang [2], who presented the recursion relations for all Appell functions. Furthermore, recursion formulas for variant multivariable hypergeometric functions were presented in [36]. One can refer to various sources [7, 8] for the in-depth study of the hypergeometric functions for several variables.

The theory of generalized matrix special functions has witnessed a rather significant evolution during the last two decades. The reasons of interest have a manifold motivation. Restricting ourselves to the applicative field, we note that for some physical problems, the use of new classes of matrix special functions provided solutions hardly achievable with conventional analytical and numerical means. Special matrix functions appear in the literature related to statistics [9], Lie theory [10], and more recently in connection with the matrix version of Laguerre, Hermite, and Legendre differential equations and the corresponding polynomial families [1113]. In [14], recursion formulas and matrix summation formulas for Srivastava’s triple hypergeometric matrix functions are obtained.

The study is organized in the following manner. In Section 2, we list basic definitions that are needed in the sequel. In Section 3, we obtain recursion formulas for the Kampé de Fériet hypergeometric matrix function (its abbreviation is K de FHMF). In Section 4, we present finite matrix summation formulas for the (K de FHMF) by applying a derivative operator. Finally, in Section 5, we establish infinite matrix summation formulas for the (K de FHMF).
