# Optimizing a series expansion for high order in $x$

I would like to expand the following function at $$x \sim 0$$ up to some high $$x_\text{max} = \Delta_\text{max}$$:

$$16 \sum_{\Delta=1}^{\Delta_\text{max}} \sum_{s=0}^{\Delta-2} f_{\Delta,s} \frac{(s+\Delta)(1+s-\Delta)}{(s-\Delta)(1+s+\Delta)}\ _2F_1 \left(\frac{1}{2},-s,\frac{1}{2}-s,1\right)\ _2F_1 \left(\frac{1}{2},2+\Delta,\frac{5}{2}+\Delta,x^2 \right) x^{2+\Delta}, \tag{1}$$

where $$f_{\Delta,s}$$ are numerical coefficients. The series expansion should be performed after doing the following replacement (everywhere except in the subscript of $$f_{\Delta,s}$$ and in the summation limits):

$$\Delta \to \Delta + g^2 \Delta^{(2)}_{\Delta,s} + g^4 \Delta^{(4)}_{\Delta,s}, \tag{2}$$

and expanding in $$g$$. Again the $$\Delta^{(k)}$$ are numbers, which depend on $$\Delta$$ and $$s$$. I am not interested in $$\log$$ terms, which can be discarded by setting the rule $$\log x \to 0$$.

So far I wrote the following simple code:

Δmax=5;
ℒ0s2 = 1/((s - Δ) (1 + s + Δ)) 16 x^(2 + Δ) (1 + s - Δ) (s + Δ) Hypergeometric2F1[1/2, -s, 1/2 - s, 1] Hypergeometric2F1[1/2, 2 + Δ, 5/2 + Δ, x^2]
Sum[Series[(f[Δ, s] Series[ℒ0s2 /. {Δ -> \
Δ + g^2 Δ2[Δ, s] + g^4 Δ4[Δ, s]}, {g, 0, 4}] /. {Log[x] -> 0} // Normal) /. {Δ -> ΔΔ, s -> ss}, {x, 0, Δmax}] /. _?(N[#] == 0 &) :> 0 // Normal, {ΔΔ, 2, Δmax}, {ss, 0, ΔΔ - 2}]


Unfortunately this is insanely inefficient for high $$\Delta_\text{max}$$. For $$\Delta_\text{max}=5$$ the computation takes less than a second, for $$\Delta_\text{max}=10$$ about $$20$$ seconds, for $$\Delta_\text{max}=15$$ it took $$3$$ minutes,... I let it run the whole night yesterday to reach my goal, which is at least $$\Delta_\text{max}=60$$, and it was still running this morning!

Any suggestion how this expansion could be done (much) faster?

• It looks like it helps if I do the expansion resulting from $(2)$ "manually". I'll report on that soon if it indeed reduces the computation time significantly.

I found a workaround. As indicated in the comment, the idea is to expand the series in $$g$$ manually by doing the derivatives and then expand each sum individually.
