This function estimates the solution to Kummer's differential equation within a specified tolerance. Kummer's differential equation is given by:
x*g''(x) + (b - x)*g'(x) - a*g(x) = 0
The code executes a while loop to calculate the generalized hypergeometric series within a specified tolerance.
Supports inputs of x in the form of a scalar, row vector, or column vector.
