Nonpolynomial basic hypergeometric eigenfunctions of the Askey-Wilson second order difference operator are known to be expressible as very-well-poised 8phi7 series. In this paper we use this fact to derive various basic hypergeometric and…
We provide an alternate approach to obtaining expansion formulas on the lines of the well-poised Bailey lemma. We recover results due to Spiridonov and Warnaar and one new formula of this type. These formulas contain an arbitrary sequence…

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…
In this note we state (with minor corrections) and give an alternative proof of a very general hypergeometric transformation formula due to Slater. As an application, we obtain a new hypergeometric transformation formula for a ${}_5F_4(-1)$…
In this survey paper, we exhaustively explore the terminating basic hypergeometric representations of the Askey-Wilson polynomials and the corresponding terminating basic hypergeometric transformations that these polynomials satisfy. From…
Any three basic hypergeometric series {}_{2}phi_{1} whose respective parameters (a, b, c) differ by integer powers of the base q satisfy a linear relation with coefficients which are rational functions of a, b, c, q and the variable x.…
We present some elementary derivations of summation and transformation formulas for q-series, which are different from, and in several cases simpler or shorter than, those presented in the Gasper and Bahman [1990] "Basic Hypergeometric…
We prove two transformations for the $p$-adic hypergeometric series which can be described as $p$-adic analogues of a Kummer's linear transformation and a transformation of Clausen. We first evaluate two character sums, and then relate them…
Multidimensional matrix inversions provide a powerful tool for studying multiple hypergeometric series. In order to extend this technique to elliptic hypergeometric series, we present three new multidimensional matrix inversions. As…

The beta integral method proved itself as a simple nonetheless powerful method of generating hypergeometric identities at a fixed argument. In this paper we propose a generalization by substituting the beta density with a particular type of…
The purpose of this note is to provide an alternative proof of two transformation formulas contiguous to that of Kummer's second transformation for the confluent hypergeometric function ${}_1F_1$ using a differential equation approach.
By means of inversion techniques and several known hypergeometric series identities, summation formulas for Fox-Wright function are explored. They give some new hypergeometric series identities when the parameters are specified.
