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…

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…

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…

The $_{3}F_{2}$ hypergeometric function plays a very significant role in the theory of hypergeometric and generalized hypergeometric series. Despite that $_{3}F_{2}$ hypergeometric function has several applications in mathematics, also it…

We generalize a terminating summation formula to a unilateral nonterminating, and further, a bilateral summation formula by a property of analytic functions. The unilateral one is proved to be a $q$-analogue of a $_4F_3$-summation formula.…

Recursive formulas extending some known $_{2}F_{1}$ and $_{3}F_{2}$ summation formulas by using contiguous relations have been obtained. On the one hand, these recursive equations are quite suitable for symbolic and numerical evaluation by…
