Jean, Paul: Thanks for your comments. Yes I tried those and got the hypergeometricPFQ functions. But, I need to take the derivative of the summation and hence do not mind making approximations if that helps get a simple looking derivative (the derivative is part of a first order condition and hence I've to substitute the derivative in an equation & solve for x). The hypergeometricPFQ is not suited for that. Thanks, Kartik Thanks, Kartik
