What is the relationship between these two hypergeometric functions? Can the following function be written as another function of some hypergeometric functions ?
$$1F1(a+b,2a,x)$$ and $$1F1(a+b,a,x)$$ Can I convert 'a' to '2a'?

We have that
$$
{}_1F_1 (a + b,2a,x) = sumlimits_{0, le ,k} {{{left( {a + b} right)^{,overline {,k,} } } over {left( {2a} right)^{,overline {,k,} } }}{{x^{,k} } over {k!}}}
$$

where the exponent overlined is a way to indicate the Rising Factorial or Pochammer symbol.

Now, the denominator equals
$$
eqalign{
& left( {2a} right)^{,overline {,k,} } = prodlimits_{0, le ,j, le ,k - 1} {left( {2a + j} right)} = cr
& = prodlimits_{0, le ,2j, le ,leftlfloor {{{k - 1} over 2}} rightrfloor = leftlceil {{k over 2}} rightrceil - 1} {left( {2a + 2j} right)}
prodlimits_{0, le ,2j, le ,leftlfloor {{k over 2}} rightrfloor - 1} {left( {2a + 1 + 2j} right)} = cr
& = 2^{,k} prodlimits_{0, le ,2j, le ,leftlfloor {{{k - 1} over 2}} rightrfloor = leftlceil {{k over 2}} rightrceil - 1} {left( {a + j} right)}
prodlimits_{0, le ,2j, le ,leftlfloor {{k over 2}} rightrfloor - 1} {left( {a + 1/2 + j} right)} = cr
& = 2^{,k} a^{,overline {,leftlceil {{k over 2}} rightrceil ,} } left( {a + 1/2} right)^{,overline {,leftlfloor {{k over 2}} rightrfloor ,} } cr}
$$

or, alternatively
$$
left( {2a} right)^{,overline {,k,} } = left( {2a} right)^{,overline {,k + a - a,} } = left( {2a} right)^{,overline {, - a,} } left( a right)^{,overline {,k + a,} }
$$

In both versions it is not possible to simply relate the above results with $a^{,overline {,k ,} }$.
