In this paper, we establish three new and general transformations with sixteen parameters and bases via Abel's lemma on summation by parts. As applications, we set up a lot of new transformations of basic hypergeometric series. Among…
The partial sums of two quartic basic hypergeometric series are investigated by means of the modified Abel lemma on summation by parts. Several summation and transformation formulae are consequently established.
Chu has recently shown that the Abel lemma on summations by parts can serve as the underlying relation for Bailey's ${}_6\psi_6$ bilateral summation formula. In other words, the Abel lemma spells out the telescoping nature of the…
We present a systematic method for proving nonterminating basic hypergeometric identities. Assume that $k$ is the summation index. By setting a parameter $x$ to $xq^n$, we may find a recurrence relation of the summation by using the…
Recently, Chen, Hou and Jin used both Abel's lemma on summation by parts and Zeilberger's algorithm to generate recurrence relations for definite summations. Meanwhile, they proposed the Abel-Gosper method to evaluate some indefinite sums…
In 2017, He [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 145 (2017), 501--508] established two spuercongruences on truncated hypergeometric series and further proposed two related conjectures. Subsequently, Liu [Results Math. 72 (2017), 2057--2066] extended…
Using an identity due to Gessel and Stanton and some properties of the $p$-adic Gamma function, we establish a $p$-adic supercongruence for truncated hypergeometric series ${}_7F_6$. From it we deduce some related supercongruences, which…
After reviewing some fundamental facts from the theory of theta hypergeometric series we derive, using indefinite summation, several summation, transformation, and expansion formulas for multibasic theta hypergeometric series. Some of the…
In terms of Dougall's $_2H_2$ series identity and the series rearrangement method, we establish an interesting symmetric formula for hypergeometric series. Then it is utilized to derive a known nonterminating form of Saalsch\"{u}tz's…
Recently, the second author [Ramanujan J. 2026] introduced and proved a $q$-series identity that appears to provide the first known $q$-analogue of an evaluation for a ${}_{2}F_{1}$-series known as \emph{Gosper's strange series}.…
This paper argues that automated proofs of identities for non-terminating hypergeometric series are feasible by a combination of Zeilberger's algorithm and asymptotic estimates. For two analogues of Saalsch\"utz' summation formula in the…
Computers are good at evaluating finite sums in closed form, but there are finite sums which do not have closed forms. Summands which do not produce a closed form can often be ``fixed'' by multiplying them by a suitable polynomial. We…
In 1977, Gosper conjectured many strange evaluations of hypergeometric series. One of them is a ${}_{2}F_{1}$-series identity with two free parameters, which was proved by Ebisu (2013), Chu (2017), and Campbell (2023) in different ways. In…
Using a ${}_7F_6$ hypergeometric transformation formula, we prove two supercongruences. In particular, one of these supercongruences confirms a recent conjecture of Guo, Liu and Schlosser, and gives an extension of a supercongruence of Long…
We establish several summation formulae for hypergeometric and basic hypergeometric series involving noncommutative parameters and argument. These results were inspired by a recent paper of J. A. Tirao [Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. 100 (14)…
We prove some new semi-finite forms of bilateral basic hypergeometric series. One of them yields in a direct limit Bailey's celebrated ${}_6\psi_6$ summation formula, answering a question recently raised by Chen and Fu ({\em Semi-Finite…
There are many identities for the hypergeometric series presented in the article "Special values of the hypergeometric series" by Ebisu. In this note, we obtain a new hypergeometric identity, which includes some of these identities as…
We show that several terminating summation and transformation formulas for basic hypergeometric series can be proved in a straightforward way. Along the same line, new finite forms of Jacobi's triple product identity and Watson's quintuple…
Chu and Zhang, in 2014, introduced hypergeometric transforms derived through the application of an Abel-type summation lemma to Dougall's ${}_{5}H_{5}$-series. These transforms were applied by Chu and Zhang to obtain accelerated rates of…
We systematically exploit a new generalized hypergeometric identity to obtain new hypergeometric summation formulas. As a consistency test, alternative proofs for some special cases are also provided. As a byproduct new summation formulas…
