Using series iteration techniques identities and apply each of these identities in we derive a number of general double series order to deduce several hypergeometric reduction formulas involving the Srivastava-Daoust double hypergeometric function. The results presented in this article are based essentially upon the hypergeometric summation theorems of Kummer and Dixon.     

Applications of hypergeometric summation theorems of kummer and dixon involving double series

Using series iteration techniques, we derive a number of general double series identities and apply each of these identities in order to deduce several hypergeometric reduction formulas involving the Srivastava-Daoust double hypergeometric function. The results presented in this article are based essentially upon the hypergeometric summation theorems of Kummer and Dixon.     

The Saalschütz chain reactions and bilateral basic hypergeometric series

By iterating recursively the q-Saalschütz summation formula, we introduce the Saalschütz chain reactions. A general series transform, which expresses a nonterminating bilateral series in terms of a finite multiple unilateral sum, will be established. As applications we derive, by means of Bailey’s 6ψ6 -series identity, several bilateral transformations including one due to Milne [12]. These transformations further yield a number of closed formulas of very well-poised bilateral basic hypergeometric series; which are closely related to the identities obtained by Minton [13], Karlsson [11], Gasper [8], and Chu [5], [6], [7] through the partial fraction method and divided differences.     

Elliott's identity and hypergeometric functions

Elliott's identity involving the Gaussian hypergeometric series contains, as a special case, the classical Legendre identity for complete elliptic integrals. The aim of this paper is to derive a differentiation formula for an expression involving the Gaussian hypergeometric series, which, for appropriate values of the parameters, implies Elliott's identity and which also leads to concavity/convexity properties of certain related functions. We also show that Elliott's identity is equivalent to a formula of Ramanujan on the differentiation of quotients of hypergeometric functions. Applying these results we obtain a number of identities associated with the Legendre functions of the first and the second kinds, respectively.     

Abel's method on summation by parts and terminating well-poised q-series identities

The Abel method on summation by parts is reformulated to present new and elementary proofs of several classical identities of terminating well-poised basic hypergeometric series, mainly discovered by [F H. Jackson, Certain q-identities, Quart. J. Math. Oxford Ser. 12 (1941) 167–172]. This strengthens further our conviction that as a traditional analytical instrument, the revised Abel method on summation by parts is indeed a very natural choice for working with basic hypergeometric series.     

Some Closed-Form Evaluations of Multiple Hypergeometric and <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Hypergeometric Series

The main object of the present paper is to show how some fairly general analytical tools and techniques can be applied with a view to deriving summation, transformation and reduction formulas for multiple hypergeometric and multiple basic (or q-) hypergeometric series. By making use of some reduction formulas for multivariable hypergeometric functions, the authors investigate several closed-form evaluations of various families of multiple hypergeometric and q-hypergeometric series. Relevant connections of the results presented in this paper with those obtained in earlier works are also considered. A number of multiple q-series identities, which are developed in this paper, are observed to be potentially useful in the related problems involving closed-form evaluations of multivariable q-hypergeometric functions.

Summation theorems for multidimensional basic hypergeometric series by determinant evaluations

We derive summation formulas for a specific kind of multidimensional basic hypergeometric series associated to root systems of classical type. We proceed by combining the classical (one-dimensional) summation formulas with certain determinant evaluations. Our theorems include A_r extensions of Ramanujan's bilateral ₁ψ₁ sum, C_r extensions of Bailey's very-well-poised ₆ψ₆ summation, and a C_r extension of Jackson's very-well-poised ₈φ₇ summation formula. We also derive multidimensional extensions, associated to the classical root systems of type A_r, B_r, C_r, and D_r, respectively, of Chu's bilateral transformation formula for basic hypergeometric series of Gasper–Karlsson–Minton type. Limiting cases of our various series identities include multidimensional generalizations of many of the most important summation theorems of the classical theory of basic hypergeometric series.

Legendre polynomials and Ramanujan-type series for 1/π

We resolve a family of recently observed identities involving 1/π using the theory of modular forms and hypergeometric series. In particular, we resort to a formula of Brafman which relates a generating function of the Legendre polynomials to a product of two Gaussian hypergeometric functions. Using our methods, we also derive some new Ramanujan-type series.     

Summation formulae for elliptic hypergeometric series

Several new identities for elliptic hypergeometric series are proved. Remarkably, some of these are elliptic analogues of identities for basic hypergeometric series that are balanced but not very-well-poised.

     

Hypergeometric approach to Apéry-like series

By reformulating four hypergeometric series formulae, we derive 36 Apéry-like series expressions for the Riemann zeta function, including a couple of identities conjectured by Sun [New series for some special values of L-functions. Nanjing Univ J Math. 2015;32(2): 189–218].     

On Finite Forms of Certain Bilateral Basic Hypergeometric Series and Their Applications

In this paper we derive finite forms of the summation formulas for bilateral basic hypergeometric series 3ψ3,4ψ4 and 5ψ5.We therefrom obtain the summation formulae obtained recently by Wenchang CHU and Xiaoxia WANG.As applications of these summation formulae,we deduce the well-known Jacobi's two and four square theorems,a formula for the number of representations of an integer n as sum of four triangular numbers and some theta function identities.     

Legendre inversions and balanced hypergeometric series identities

By means of Legendre inverse series relations, we prove two terminating balanced hypergeometric series formulae. Their reversals and linear combinations yield several known and new hypergeometric series identities.     

Summations of linear recurrent sequences

We give an extension of Sister Celine’s method of proving hypergeometric sum identities that allows it to handle a larger variety of input summands. In particular, we extend the summand to powers of a C-finite sequence times a hypergeometric term. We then apply this to several problems. Some of these applications give new results, and some reprove already known results in an automated way.     

Some Combinatorial and Analytical Identities

We give new proofs and explain the origin of several combinatorial identities of Fu and Lascoux, Dilcher, Prodinger, Uchimura, and Chen and Liu. We use the theory of basic hypergeometric functions, and generalize these identities. We also exploit the theory of polynomial expansions in the Wilson and Askey-Wilson bases to derive new identities which are not in the hierarchy of basic hypergeometric series. We demonstrate that a Lagrange interpolation formula always leads to very-well-poised basic hypergeometric series. As applications we prove that the Watson transformation of a balanced ${_{4}\phi_{3}}$ to a very-well-poised ${_{8}\phi_{7}}$ is equivalent to the Rodrigues-type formula for the Askey-Wilson polynomials. By applying the Leibniz formula for the Askey-Wilson operator we also establish the ${_{8}\phi_{7}}$ summation theorem.     

Two new transformation formulas of basic hypergeometric series

By means of a modified version of Cauchy's method for obtaining bilateral series identities, two new transformation formulas for bilateral basic hypergeometric series are derived. These contain several important identities for basic hypergeometric series as special cases, including the nonterminating q-Saalschütz summation, Bailey's very well-poised summation and the nonterminating Watson transformation.     

An elementary proof of the Macdonald identities for A(1)l

In this paper it is shown that the Macdonald identities for A⁽¹⁾_l are a natural consequence of the recent multivariable generalization of classical basic hypergeometric series known as basic hypergeometric series in U(n). More precisely, a U(n) multiple series generalization of the q-binomial theorem is derived and used to generalize Cauchy's elegant proof of Jacobi's triple product identity and to give a direct, elementary proof of the Macdonald identities for A⁽¹⁾_l.     

Ramanujan's Eisenstein series and new hypergeometric-like series for

Using hypergeometric identities and certain representations for Eisenstein series, we uniformly derive several new series representations for 1/π².     

Overpartition pairs and two classes of basic hypergeometric series

We study the combinatorics of two classes of basic hypergeometric series. We first show that these series are the generating functions for certain overpartition pairs defined by frequency conditions on the parts. We then show that when specialized these series are also the generating functions for overpartition pairs with bounded successive ranks, overpartition pairs with conditions on their Durfee dissection, as well as certain lattice paths. When further specialized, the series become infinite products, leading to numerous identities for partitions, overpartitions, and overpartition pairs.     

Geometric properties of basic hypergeometric functions

In this article, we consider basic hypergeometric functions introduced by Heine. We study the mapping properties of certain ratios of basic hypergeometric functions having shifted parameters and show that they map the domains of analyticity onto domains convex in the direction of the imaginary axis. In order to investigate these mapping properties, some useful identities are obtained in terms of basic hypergeometric functions. In addition, we find conditions under which the basic hypergeometric functions are in a q-close-to-convex family.
