For n = 3 we prove that a known necessary condition for convergence for the Mellin-Barnes integral is also sufficient.

1. Introduction and preliminaries
In 1921 H. Mellin [1] obtained an integral formula (in the form of Mellin-Barnes integral) for solution of general (universal) algebraic equation. He noted that integral representing the solution has a non-empty domain of convergence. The full convergence domain was found in 2007 in the article of I. A. Antipova [2]. In [3] of V. A. Stepanenko received the integral of Mellin-Barnes type formally representing the solution of a general system of n polynomial equations with n variables (see also [4]). Recently V.R.Kulikov [5] showed, that for n > 1 this integral can be really formal, i.e. it can have an empty domain of convergence. He has been found a necessary condition for convergence of the integral, and as a hypothesis he claimed that this condition is also sufficient for the convergence.
The purpose of this work is to prove sufficiency of condition for the convergence of Mellin-Barnes integral representing the solution of a system of three equations with three variables.
Let us consider a reduced general system of three algebraic equations
' vT + ЕР=i x(1V(1) vf vf1 -1 = 0, < vT2 + Ep=i 4]vf vf vf - 1 = 0, (1)
vT3 +E^v? vlk v!k - 1 = 0,
where x^,..., x^Wx^,..., xp^xSj3^,..., xare variable complex coefficients. Consider the vector x = (xS1'), xS2), x(3)), where x(i) = (x^,... are the coefficients of the «-equation,

ß = (ß(1),...,ßP1),ß(2),...,ßP2),ßi3),...,ßP?) 7 = ,...,Y(1),Y12),...,YP2) ,Y(3),...,YP3)
Solution y(x) = (y1(x), y2(x), y3(x)) of this system of equations is an algebraic vector-function of x. In the article [3] for monomial function yf1 yf2yf3 of solution y(x) of system (1) was found formal (without justification of convergence) integral representation in the form of Mellin-Barnes integral:
yf1 yf2 yf3 (x) = ^/ F (s)x-'ds. (2)

Here xs is the kernel of the inverse Mellin transform, F(s) is a meromorphic function
nti np=i r(4fc))r(m - mmmm-2 - m (p^mm- - m Y^ms
r( m - mi « s)+is(i)i+i)r( mi - m p s)+is(2)i+i)r( m - m y s)+^+1)
with a some polynomial Q(s), the vector 6 G RP1+P2+P3 is chosen such that the set of integration 6 + iRpi+P2+P3 does not contain the poles of T-function from numerator of F(s).
For every triple of indices (i,j,k) G {1, • • • ,p1} x {1, • • • ,p2} x {1, • • • ,p3} we will form a

In other words, we consider all 3 x 3 matrices in which q-th column consist of the exponents of the monomials of q-th equation.
As mentioned above the purpose of this work is to prove the following theorem, whose statement was made as a hypothesis by V. R. Kulikov: Under the main minor of matrix we understand a minor, which involves the rows and columns with the same set of indices.
Theorem. The integral (2) has non-empty domain of convergence if and only if all the main minors of every matrix Aijk are positive, i.e.
a(1) > G,pf > 0, y(,3) > 0,

2. Proof of the main result
Recall that the necessity of condition (3) has been proven by V.R. Kulikov in [5]. Here we prove sufficiency of them.
Note, that in (2) the integration is performed on the imaginary subspace of variables s. We write s in the form s = u + iv; thus, we can suppose, that the integration in (2) is carried out by the variables v = (v(1),..., vP 1), v(2),..., vP22\ v(3),..., vPf1).
Consider the following function which is composed by arguments of T-function from the numerator of F(u):

The general scheme for computation of the convergence domain for Mellin-Barnes integral is given by Theorem of Nilsson, Passare and Tsikh [6]. Applying to the integral (2) this theorem is formulated as follows.
For any integration set 6 + Rpi+p2+p3 which does not contain singularities of the integrand the domain of convergence of the Mellin-Barnes integral has the form Arg-1(U), where
U = p| {0 G Rpi+p2+p3 : \{v,0)\ <-g(v)}
(5)
where Arg is a mapping (x

{v(2),J = 1, • ••,P2}, - — {P,v), m2
{vf\k = 1, • ••,P3}, —— {Y,v)• m3
Note that g(v) > 0. One can easily prove the following statement.
Lemma. The function g(v) =0 if and only if the elements from each of the following three groups have the same sign:
(6)
The function g(v) is continuous and therefore it arrives the minimum value on the sphere ||v|| = 1. Consequently the domain (5) is non-empty if and only if g(v) > 0 for all v from the sphere. Thus, we need to show, that under the condition of positivity of the main minors (3) the conclusion of the lemma holds only in the case v = 0.
We divide the scalar products, which participate in the expression for g(v), into three parts
(a, v) = (a(1), v 11)) + (a(2),v(2)) + (a(3),v(3)),
(3, v) = (3(1), v(1)) + (3(2),v(2)) + (3(3),v(3)), (7)
(Y,v) = (y (1),v(1)) + (y (2),v(2)) + (y (3),v(3)),
where a(i) = (af,..., a^), /3(i) = (3®,..., ft.), Y(i) = (y1'\ ■ ■ ■, Y^).
In the space Rpi+p2+p3 consider eight orthants of the kind KE = KE1 x KE2 x KE3, where ek are the signs +, — and KEk are the orthants Rp+ or Rp-. Elements v(k) G KEk are presented in the form t(k)t(k), where t(k) runs part of the unit sphere (||v||(k) = 1) n Rp+ ,t(k) G R± in depending on ek. If for given vector v G Rpi+p2 +p3 conclusion of the lemma is valid, then v belongs to one of orthants KE.
a, v

Scalar products on Ke introduced above can be written as
(a,v) = (a(1),T (1)t(1)) + (a(2),T (2)t(2)) + (a(3) ,t (3)t(3)), (p,v) = (p(1),t (1)t(1)) + (p(2),t (2) t(2)) + (p(3),t (3)t(3)), (Y,v) = (y (1),t (1)t(1)) + (7 (2),t (2)t(2)) + (y(3),t (3)t(3)).
Take out t(k) from the sign of the scalar product
(a(1),T(1))t(1) + (a(2),T(2))t(2) + (a(3), t(3))t(3),
(p(1),T (1))t(1) + (p(2) ,t (2))t(2) + (P (3),t (3))t(3), (Y(1),T(1))t(1) + (y(2), t(2))t(2) + (y(3), t(3))t(3).
We introduce the notation (a(i), products takes the following form
r«) = (P(i),T(i)) = /3i, (y(i),
a1t(1) + a2t(2) + a3t(3), Ai(1) + P2t(2) + P3t(3), Yit(1) + Y2t(2) + Y3i(3)-
(i) =
= Yi-
Then the scalar
(8)
We will prove that under the conditions (3) all main minors of the matrix of the linear transformation (7) are positive:
«i > 0, P2 > 0, Y3 > 0,
aiP2 - «2PI > 0, P2Y3 - P3Y2 > 0, aiY3 - «3yI > 0,
aiP2Y3 + a2P3Yl + «3pIy2 - a3P2Yl - a2PlY3 - «I^3Y2 > 0.
Notice, that a1 > 0, p2 > 0, y3 > 0 as scalar products of vectors with positive coordinates on non-zero vectors with non-negative coordinates (recall, that t(k) belongs to the unit sphere). Further, the difference
aip2 - a.2pi = (a(1),T(1))(P(2),T(2)) - (a(2),T
(2))(P(1),T (1))
is equal to bilinear form on t(1) and t(2):
(1)t (2)
By conditions (3) the coefficients of this form are positive and the coordinates of non-zero vectors t(1) and t(2) are non-negative, so a1p2 — a2p1 > 0. Similarly, we prove the positiveness of all the remaining minors of the matrix from (8).
Now we are ready to prove, that if under the conditions (3) conclusion of the lemma is valid, then v = 0.
Consider two cases when the conclusion of the lemma holds.
1. The elements of all the groups from (6) are non-negative. Since mi are positive, in our notation vk = t(k)t(k) it means that
a1t(1) + a2t(2) + a3t(3) < 0, p1t(1) + p2t(2) + P3t(3) < 0, Y1t(1) + Y2t(2) + Y3t(3) < 0, t(1) > 0, t(2) > 0, t(3) > 0.
In the first three inequalities only non-negative elements are presented. Since a1 > 0, p2 > 0, Y3 > 0, then equality is reached only in the case t(i) =0, i = 1, 2,3.
2. The elements of the first group from (6) are negative, and the elements of the second and of the third groups are non-positive, i.e.
a11(1) + a2t(2) + a31(3) < 0, p11(1) + p2t(2) + P3t(3) > 0, Y11(1) + Y2t(2) + Y3t(3) > 0, t(1) > 0, t(2) < 0, t(3) < 0.
(10)
With help of the first line set to zero coefficients of
t(1)
in the second and in the third
inequalities:
' a1t(1) + a2t(2) + a3t(3) < 0,
(p2a1 - a2p1)t(2) + (Pa - a3p1)t(3) > 0, (Y2a1 - a2Y1)t(2) + (Y3a1 - a3Y1)t(3) > 0, t(1) > 0, t(2) < 0, , t(3) < 0.
By the proving above, the coefficient of t(2) in the second inequality and the coefficient of
t(3)
in the third inequality became are positive. Denote by d1, d2, b1 and b2 the coefficients (P2a1 - a2P1), (P3a1 - a3P1), (Y2a1 - a2Y1) and (Y3a1 - a3Y1) respectively.

If at least one of the quantities b1, d2 is positive, then at least one of the 2nd and 3rd inequalities in quadrant t(2) ^ 0, t(3) ^ 0 is valid only in the coordinate origin.
Consider the case d2 < 0 and b1 < 0.
In this case, the half-planes d1t(2) + d2t(3) ^ 0, b1t(2) + b2t(3) ^ 0 cross quadrant t(2) < 0, t(3) < 0.
When we construct the domains for the second inequality and for the third inequality in the third quarter of the coordinate it is obtained that the intersection of the domains is the di bi
origin-point (0, 0), as — > —.
b2 d2
So, we have proved, that t(2) = t(3) = 0. The first line under these conditions looks like ait(i) ^ 0. By the condition, t(i) ^ 0 and ai > 0. Then t(i) = 0. Thus, in this case only the trivial solution t(i) = t(2) = t(3) =0 of the system (8) is posible. The remaining cases of the signs of the elements of the groups (6) are considered similarly.
Returning to the original designations, we find that under the condition (3) g(v) =0 if and only if v = 0. This means that the domain of convergence for Mellin-Barnes integral (2) is not empty.
Thus we proved that the condition (3) is sufficient for the convergence of the integral (2).
Finally, we note, that this result was also obtained independently by V. R. Kulikov.
