We give elementary derivations of some classical summation formulae for bilateral (basic) hypergeometric series. In particular, we apply Gauss' 2-F-1 summation and elementary series manipulations to give a simple proof of Dougall's 2-H-2…
By multidimensional matrix inversion, combined with an A_r extension of Jackson's 8-phi-7 summation formula by Milne, a new multivariable 8-phi-7 summation is derived. By a polynomial argument this 8-phi-7 summation is transformed to…
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…
In this paper we introduce the so-called truncated very-well-poised $_6\psi_6$ series and set up an explicit recurrence relation for it by means of the classical Abel lemma on summation by parts. This new recurrence relation implies an…
In this paper, we provide proofs of two ${}_5\psi_5$ summation formulas of Bailey using a ${}_5\phi_4$ identity of Carlitz. We show that in the limiting case, the two ${}_5\psi_5$ identities give rise to two ${}_3\psi_3$ summation formulas…
We give elementary derivations of several classical and some new summation and transformation formulae for bilateral basic hypergeometric series. For purpose of motivation, we review our previous simple proof ("A simple proof of Bailey's…
We present a new matrix inverse with applications in the theory of bilateral basic hypergeometric series. Our matrix inversion result is directly extracted from an instance of Bailey's very-well-poised 6-psi-6 summation theorem, and…
We give new proofs for certain bilateral basic hypergeometric summation formulas using the symmetries of the corresponding series. In particular, we present a proof for Bailey's $_3\psi_3$ summation formula as an application. We also prove…
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…
A multidimensional generalization of Bailey's very-well-poised bilateral basic hypergeometric ${}_6\psi_6$ summation formula and its Dougall type ${}_5H_5$ hypergeometric degeneration for $q\to 1$ is studied. The multiple Bailey sum amounts…
In [Electron. J. Combin. 10 (2003), #R10], the author presented a new basic hypergeometric matrix inverse with applications to bilateral basic hypergeometric series. This matrix inversion result was directly extracted from an instance of…
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 show that several classical bilateral summation and transformation formulas have semi-finite forms. We obtain these semi-finite forms from unilateral summation and transformation formulas. Our method can be applied to derive Ramanujan's…
We offer a more general Bailey pair than one that was proved in two different papers by two different methods [5, 12].
The aim of this research is to provide thirty-two interesting summation formulas for the Kamp\'e de F\'eriet function in general forms, which are given in sixteen theorems. The results are established with the help of the identities in Liu…
We obtain a formula which reduces the evaluation of a $_2\psi_2$ series to two $_2\phi_1$ series. In some sense, this identity may be considered as a companion of Slater's formulas. We also find that a two-term ${}_2\psi_2$ summation…
We give a new proof of a_4\phi_3 summation due to G.E. Andrews and confirm another_4\phi_3 summation conjectured by him recently. Some variations of these two_4\phi_3 summations are also given.
In a recent paper (Appl. Math. Comput. 215, 1622--1645, 2009), the authors proposed a method of summation of some slowly convergent series. The purpose of this note is to give more theoretical analysis for this transformation, including the…
We show that certain terminating $_{6}\phi_5$ series can be factorized into a product of two $_{3}\phi_{2}$ series. As applications we prove a summation formula for a product of two $q$-Delannoy numbers along with some congruences for sums…
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.
