This is the typewritten version of a handwritten manuscript which was completed by Ian G. Macdonald in 1987 or 1988. The manuscript is a very informal working paper, never intended for formal publication. Nevertheless, copies of the…
This is a brief overview of the status of the theory of elliptic hypergeometric functions to the end of 2012 written as a complementary chapter to the Russian edition of the book by G.E. Andrews, R. Askey, and R. Roy, Special Functions,…
In 1984, the second author conjectured a quadratic transformation formula which relates two hypergeometric 2F1 functions over a finite field F_q. We prove this conjecture and give an application. The proof depends on a new linear…
We use Andrews' $q$-analogues of Watson's and Whipple's $_3F_2$ summation theorems to deduce two formulas for products of specific basic hypergeometric functions. These constitute $q$-analogues of corresponding product formulas for ordinary…
Hypergeometric functions and their generalizations play an important r\^{o}les in diverse applications. Many authors have been established generalizations of hypergeometric functions by a number ways. In this paper, we aim at establishing…
In this paper a double integral containing two Gaussian hypergeometric functions is discussed. The integral is not found in the literature and a direct computation is not (yet) possible. Therefore, a complete different integral is computed…
General theory of elliptic hypergeometric series and integrals is outlined. Main attention is paid to the examples obeying properties of the "classical" special functions. In particular, an elliptic analogue of the Gauss hypergeometric…
By systematically applying ten well-known and inequivalent two-part relations between hypergeometric sums 3F2(...|1) to the published database of all such sums, 62 new sums are obtained. The existing literature is summarized, and many…
The theoretical computing of special values assumed by the hypergeometric functions has a high interest not only on its own, but also in sight of the remarkable implications to both pure Mathematics and Mathematical Physics. Accordingly, in…
This article gives a brief introduction to $q$-special functions, i.e., $q$-analogues of the classical special functions. Here $q$ is a deformation parameter, usually $0<q<1$, where $q=1$ is the classical case. The main topics to be treated…
Hypergeometric functions over finite fields were introduced by Greene in the 1980s as a finite field analogue of classical hypergeometric series. These functions, and their generalizations, naturally lend themselves to, and have been widely…
In this work, generalized hypergeometric functions for bicomplex argument is introduced and its convergence criteria is derived. Furthermore, integral representation of this function has been established. Moreover, quadratic transformation,…
Finite hypergeometric functions are functions of a finite field ${\bf F}_q$ to ${\bf C}$. They arise as Fourier expansions of certain twisted exponential sums and were introduced independently by John Greene and Nick Katz in the 1980's.…
The generalized hypergeometric function $_qF_p$ is a power series in which the ratio of successive terms is a rational function of the summation index. The Gaussian hypergeometric functions $_2F_1$ and $_3F_2$ are most common special cases…
The main aim of the present work is to give some interesting the $q$-analogues of various $q$-recurrence relations, $q$-recursion formulas, $q$-partial derivative relations, $q$-integral representations, transformation and summation…
It is suggested that the (p,q)-hypergeometric series studied by Burban and Klimyk (in Integral Transforms and Special Functions, 2 (1994) 15 - 36) can be considered as a special case of a more general (P,Q)-hypergeometric series.

By systematically applying ten inequivalent two-part relations between hypergeometric sums 3F2(1) to the published database of all such sums, 66 new sums are obtained. Many results extracted from the literature are shown to be special cases…

In this article, we describe a new algorithm for the expansion of hypergeometric functions about half-integer parameters. The implementation of this algorithm for certain classes of hypergeometric functions in the already existing…
