We obtain extensions of classical hypergeometric identities of Bailey and Whipple that transform nearly-poised and very-well-poised series to Saalsch\"utzian series, Saalsch\"utzian series to Saalsch\"utzian series, and very-well-poised and…
A large class of Feynman integrals, like e.g., two-point parameter integrals with at most one mass and containing local operator insertions, can be transformed to multi-sums over hypergeometric expressions. In this survey article we present…
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…
Using a simple classical method we derive bilateral series identities from terminating ones. In particular, we show how to deduce Ramanujan's 1-psi-1 summation from the q-Pfaff-Saalschuetz summation. Further, we apply the same method to our…
