Reduction formulas for sums of products of hypergeometric functions can be traced back to Euler. This topic has an intimate connection to summation and transformation formulas, contiguous relations and algebraic properties of the…

In two widely circulated manuscripts from the 1980s, I. G. Macdonald introduced certain multivariate hypergeometric series ${}_pF_q(x;\alpha)$ and ${}_pF_q(x,y;\alpha)$ and their $q$-analogs ${}_r\Phi_s(x;q,t)$ and ${}_r\Phi_s(x,y;q,t)$.…

The transformation theory of the Appell $F_2(a,b_1,b_2;c_1,c_2;x,y)$ double hypergeometric function is used to obtain a set of series representations of $F_2$ which provide an efficient way to evaluate $F_2$ for real values of its arguments…

We employ a one-variable extension of q-rook theory to give combinatorial proofs of some basic hypergeometric summations, including the q-Pfaff-Saalsch\"utz summation and a 4phi3 summation by Jain.

We prove a new four parameter q-hypergeometric series identity from which the three parameter key identity for the Goellnitz theorem due to Alladi, Andrews, and Gordon, follows as a special case by setting one of the parameters equal to 0.…

By making use of the multiplicate form of the extended Carlitz inverse series relations, we establish two general `dual' theorems of Jackson's summation formula for well--poised $_8\phi_7$-series. Their duplicate forms under the partition…

In 1988, Andrews, Dyson and Hickerson initiated the study of q-hypergeometric series whose coefficients are dictated by the arithmetic in real quadratic fields. In this paper, we provide a dozen q-hypergeometric double sums which are…

Euler's transformation formula for the Gauss hypergeometric function 2F1 is extended to hypergeometric functions of higher order. Unusually, the generalized transformation constrains the hypergeometric function parameters algebraically but…

We derive all eighteen Gauss hypergeometric representations for the Ferrers function of the second kind, each with a different argument. They are obtained from the eighteen hypergeometric representations of the associated Legendre function…

The objective of this short note is to provide two closed-form evaluations for the generalized hypergeometric function $_4F_3$ of the argument $\frac1{16}$. This is achieved by means of separating a generalized hypergeometric function…

By applying multiplicate forms of the Carlitz inverse series relations to the $q$-Pfaff-Saalsch{\"u}tz summation theorem, we establish twenty five nonterminating $q$-series identities with several of them serving as $q$-analogues of…

In this article we find finite field analogues of certain product formulas satisfied by the classical hypergeometric series. We express product of two ${_2}F_1$-Gaussian hypergeometric series as ${_4}F_3$- and ${_3}F_2$-Gaussian…

In a widely circulated manuscript from the 1980s, now available on the arXiv, I.~G.~Macdonald introduced certain multivariable hypergeometric series ${}_pF_q(x)= {}_pF_q(x;\alpha)$ and ${}_pF_q(x,y)= {}_pF_q(x,y;\alpha)$ in one and two sets…

We give a definition of generalized hypergeometric functions over finite fields using modified Gauss sums, which enables us to find clear analogy with classical hypergeometric functions over the complex numbers. We study their fundamental…

We give a method to embed the q-series in a (p,q)-series and derive the corresponding (p,q)-extensions of the known q-identities. The (p,q)-hypergeometric series, or twin-basic hypergeometric series (diferent from the usual bibasic…

The special case of the hypergeometric function $_{2}F_{1}$ represents the binomial series $(1+x)^{\alpha}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(\:\alpha n\:)x^{n}$ that always converges when $|x|<1$. Convergence of the series at the endpoints, $x=\pm 1$,…

In this paper, we extend an expansion formula of Liu to multiple basic hypergeometric series over the root system $A_{n}.$ The usefulness of Liu's expansion formula in special functions and number theory has been shown by Liu and many…

Some examples of naturally arising multisum $q$-series which turn out to have representations as fermionic single sums are presented. The resulting identities are proved using transformation formulas from the theory of basic hypergeometric…

In 1987 Harris proved (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 101) - among others- that for each $1\le p<2$ there exists a two-dimensional function $f\in L^p$ such that its triangular Walsh-Fourier series diverges almost everywhere. In this paper we…

Motivated by the substantial development of the special functions, we contribute to establish some rigorous results on the general series identities with bounded sequences and hypergeometric functions with different arguments, which are…
