One of spectacular results in mathematical physics is the expression of Racah matrices for symmetric representations of the quantum group $SU_q(2)$ through the Askey-Wilson polynomials, associated with the $q$-hypergeometric functions…
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…
In this paper, we mainly establish two supercongruences involving truncated hypergeometric series by using some hypergeometric transformation formulas. The first supercongruence confirms a recent conjecture of the second author. The second…
In a previous work ([Eb]), the author proposed a method employing contiguity relations to derive hypergeometric series in closed form. In [Eb], this method was used to derive Gauss's hypergeometric series $_2F_1$ possessing closed forms.…
In this short research note we obtain double definite integral expressions for the Kapteyn type series built by Kummer's $M$ (or confluent hypergeometric ${}_1F_1$) functions. These kind of series unify in natural way the similar fashion…
In this paper, a single sum formula for the linearization coefficients of the Bessel polynomials is given. In three special cases this formula reduces indeed to either Atia and Zeng's formula (Ramanujan Journal, Doi…
In this survey, we present five different proofs for the transcendence of Kempner's number, defined by the infinite series $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{2^{2^n}}$. We take the opportunity to mention some interesting ideas and methods that…
We show that the denominator formula for the strange series of affine superalgebras, conjectured by Kac and Wakimoto and proved by Zagier, follows from a classical determinant evaluation of Frobenius. As a limit case, we obtain exact…
From the literature it is known that orthogonal polynomials as the Jacobi polynomials can be expressed by hypergeometric series. In this paper, the authors derive several contiguous relations for terminating multivariate hypergeometric…
A comprehensive study of the generalized Lambert series $\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{n^{N-2h}\exp{(-an^{N}x)}}{1-\exp{(-n^{N}x)}}, 0<a\leq 1,\ x>0$, $N\in\mathbb{N}$ and $h\in\mathbb{Z}$, is undertaken. Two of the general…
The multiplicate form of Gould--Hsu's inverse series relations enables to investigate the dual relations of the Chu-Vandermonde-Gau{\ss}'s, the Pfaff-Saalsch\"utz's summation theorems and the binomial convolution formula due to Hagen and…
We deduce new q-series identities by applying inverse relations to certain identities for basic hypergeometric series. The identities obtained themselves do not belong to the hierarchy of basic hypergeometric series. We extend two of our…
We present two algorithms for computing hypergeometric solutions of second order linear differential operators with rational function coefficients. Our first algorithm searches for solutions of the form \[ \exp(\int r \,…
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…
The aim of this paper is to provide a new class of series identities in the form of four general results. The results are established with the help of generalizatons of the classical Kummer's summation theorem obtained earlier by Rakha and…
We analyze a weighted convolution of Catalan numbers $$ \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{2k}{k}\binom{2(n-k)}{n-k} a^k = \sum_{k=0}^{n} (k+1)(n-k+1) C_k C_{n-k} a^k, $$ emphasizing its combinatorial, analytic, and probabilistic aspects. We derive a…
In this paper we consider a transformation $L_a$ of sequences of complex numbers. We find the inverse transformation of $L_a$ as well as the inverse of a related transformation $\tilde{L}_a$. We explore a connection to the binomial…
Using Euler transformation of series we relate values of Hurwitz zeta function at integer and rational values of arguments to certain rapidly converging series where some generalized harmonic numbers appear. The form of these generalized…
By exploring the theory of Guillera-Rogers, we evaluate some infinite series whose summands are quadratic irrationals, in terms of $\pi$ and special values of Dirichlet $L$-functions $ L_d(2)\equiv L(2,(\frac…
