We consider a special case of a WP-Bailey chain of George Andrews, and use it to derive a number of curious transformations of basic hypergeometric series. We also derive two new WP-Bailey pairs, and use them to derive some additional new…
We derive several new transformations relating WP-Bailey pairs. We also consider the corresponding transformations relating standard Bailey pairs, and as a consequence, derive some quite general expansions for products of theta functions…
Our object is a thorough analysis of the WP-Bailey tree, a recent extension of classical Bailey chains. We begin by observing how the WP-Bailey tree naturally entails a finite number of classical q-hypergeometric transformation formulas. We…
Let $(\alpha_n(a,k),\beta_n(a,k))$ be a WP-Bailey pair. Assuming the limits exist, let \[ (\alpha_n^*(a),\beta_n^*(a))_{n\geq 1} = \lim_{k \to 1}\left(\alpha_n(a,k),\frac{\beta_n(a,k)}{1-k}\right)_{n\geq 1} \] be the \emph{derived}…
Motivated by a recent paper of Liu and Ma, we describe a number of general WP-Bailey chains. We show that many of the existing WP-Bailey chains (or branches of the WP-Bailey tree), including chains found by Andrews, Warnaar and Liu and Ma,…
We prove a new Bailey-type transformation relating WP-Bailey pairs. We then use this transformation to derive a number of new 3- and 4-term transformation formulae between basic hypergeometric series.
By virtue of Bailey's well-known bilateral 6\psi_6 summation formula and Watson's transformation formula,we extend the four-variable generalization of Ramanujan's reciprocity theorem due to Andrews to a five-variable one. Some relevant new…
A multiparameter generalization of the Bailey pair is defined in such a way as to include as special cases all Bailey pairs considered by W. N. Bailey in his paper, "Identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan type," [Proc. London Math. Soc. (2), 50…
A pair of sequences $(\alpha_{n}(a,k,q),\beta_{n}(a,k,q))$ such that $\alpha_0(a,k,q)=1$ and \[ \beta_{n}(a,k,q) = \sum_{j=0}^{n} \frac{(k/a; q)_{n-j}(k; q)_{n+j}}{(q;q)_{n-j}(aq;q)_{n+j}}\alpha_{j}(a,k,q) \] is termed a \emph{WP-Bailey…
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…
A generalized Bailey pair, which contains several special cases considered by Bailey (\emph{Proc. London Math. Soc. (2)}, 50 (1949), 421--435), is derived and used to find a number of new Rogers-Ramanujan type identities. Consideration of…
The theory of Bailey's transform provides a systematic method for deriving $q$-identities, the key factor of which is the Bailey pair. The concept of Bailey pair was first extended to bilateral version by Paule. In this paper, following…
If $k$ is set equal to $a q$ in the definition of a WP Bailey pair, \[ \beta_{n}(a,k) = \sum_{j=0}^{n} \frac{(k/a)_{n-j}(k)_{n+j}}{(q)_{n-j}(aq)_{n+j}}\alpha_{j}(a,k), \] this equation reduces to $\beta_{n}=\sum_{j=0}^{n}\alpha_{j}$. This…
By using two known transformation formulas for basic hypergeometric series, we establish a direct extension of Bailey's $_6\psi_6$-series identity. Subsequently, it and Milne's identity are employed to drive multi-variable generalizations…
Rogers-Ramanujan type identities occur in various branches of mathematics and physics. As a classic and powerful tool to deal with Rogers-Ramanujan type identities, the theory of Bailey's lemma has been extensively studied and generalized.…
We review and derive transformation and summation formulas for bilateral basic hypergeometric series. Our study focuses on consequences of certain bilateral extensions of two important results by Bailey, namely a transformation for…
We offer a more general Bailey pair than one that was proved in two different papers by two different methods [5, 12].
Lucy Slater used Bailey's $_6\psi_6$ summation formula to derive the Bailey pairs she used to construct her famous list of 130 identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan type. In the present paper we apply the same techniques to Chu's…
Versions of Bailey's lemma which change the base from q to q^2 or q^3 are given. Iterates of these versions give many new versions of multisum Rogers-Ramanujan identities. We also prove Melzer's conjectures for the Fermionic forms of the…
We announce a higher-dimensional generalization of the Bailey Transform, Bailey Lemma, and iterative ``Bailey chain'' concept in the setting of basic hypergeometric series very well-poised on unitary $A_{\ell}$ or symplectic $C_{\ell}$…
