For the hypergeometric function of unit argument 3F2(1) we prove the existence and uniqueness of three-term relations with arbitrary integer shifts. We show that not only the original 3F2(1) function but also other five functions related to…
We derive relations for a certain class of terminating ${}_4F_3(4)$ hypergeometric series with three free parameters. The invariance group composed of these relations is shown to be isomorphic to the symmetric group $S_3$. We further study…
Any three basic hypergeometric series ${}_{2}\phi_{1}$ whose respective parameters $a, b, c$ and a variable $x$ are shifted by integer powers of $q$ are linearly related with coefficients that are rational functions of $a, b, c, q$, and…

Any three hypergeometric series whose respective parameters, a, b and c, differ by integers satisfy a linear relation with coefficients that are rational functions of a, b, c and the variable x. These relations are called three-term…
We obtain two new Thomae-type transformations for hypergeometric series with r pairs of numeratorial and denominatorial parameters differing by positive integers. This is achieved by application of the so-called Beta integral method…
The 15 Gauss contiguous relations for ${}_2F_1$ hypergeometric series imply that any three ${}_2F_1$ series whose corresponding parameters differ by integers are linearly related (over the field of rational functions in the parameters). We…
By systematically applying ten well-known and inequivalent two-part relations between hypergeometric sums 3F2(...|1) to the published database of all such sums, 62 new sums are obtained. The existing literature is summarized, and many…

The aim of this short note is to provide a very simple proof for obtaining the fundamental two-term transformation for the series ${}_3F_2(1)$ due to Thomae.
In a joint paper [4] by Otsubo, Terasoma and the first author, we proved that the special value 3F2(a,b,q;a+b,q;1) of the generalized hypergeometric function is a linear combination of log of algebraic numbers if the triplet (a,b,q) of…
Six families of generalized hypergeometric series in a variable $x$ and an arbitrary number of parameters are considered. Each of them is indexed by an integer $n$. Linear recurrence relations in $n$ relate these functions and their product…
New explicit as well as manifestly symmetric three-term summationformulas are derived for the Clausenian hypergeometric series $_3F_2(1)$ with negative integral parameter differences. Our results generalize and naturally extend several…
It is shown that the classical quadratic and cubic transformation identities satisfied by the hypergeometric function ${}_3F_2$ can be extended to include additional parameter pairs, which differ by integers. In the extended identities,…
In 1797, Pfaff gave a simple proof of a ${}_3F_2$ hypergeometric series summation formula which was much later reproved by Andrews in 1996. In the same paper, Andrews also proved other well-known hypergeometric identities using Pfaff's…
In the previous paper by Asakura-Otsubo-Terasoma, we prove that the special values of the hypergeometric function 3F2 at 1 are linear combinations of logarithms of algebraic numbers and 1 over algebraic numbers, if exponents are rational…
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…
Using contiguous relations we construct an infinite number of continued fraction expansions for ratios of generalized hypergeometric series 3F2(1). We establish exact error term estimates for their approximants and prove their rapid…
In this paper we continue investigation of the hypergeometric function ${}_4F_3(1)$ as the function of its seven parameters. We deduce several reduction formulas for this function under additional conditions that one of the top parameters…
We explore a function $L(\vec{x})=L(a,b,c,d;e;f,g)$ which is a linear combination of two Saalsch\"utzian ${}_4F_3(1)$ hypergeometric series. We demonstrate a fundamental two-term relation satisfied by the $L$ function and show that the…
