f1: a code to compute Appell's F 1 hypergeometric function

Abstract
In this work we present the FORTRAN code to compute the hypergeometric function F_1 (α,β_1 ,β _2 ,γ,x,y) of Appell. The program can compute the F_1function for real values of the variables {x,y}, and complex values of the parameters {α,β_1 ,β_2 ,γ}. The code uses different strategies to calculate the function according to the ideas outlined in [F.D. Colavecchia et al., Comput. Phys. Comm. 138 (1) (2001) 29].

Title of program: f1
Catalogue Id: ADSJ_v1_0

Nature of problem
Computing the Appell F 1 function is relevant in atomic collisons and elementary particle physics. It is usually the result of multidimensional integrals involving Coulomb continuum states.
