We present some elementary derivations of summation and transformation formulas for q-series, which are different from, and in several cases simpler or shorter than, those presented in the Gasper and Bahman [1990] "Basic Hypergeometric…
This article gives a brief introduction to $q$-special functions, i.e., $q$-analogues of the classical special functions. Here $q$ is a deformation parameter, usually $0<q<1$, where $q=1$ is the classical case. The main topics to be treated…
In the lecture notes we start off with an introduction to the $q$-hypergeometric series, or basic hypergeometric series, and we derive some elementary summation and transformation results. Then the $q$-hypergeometric difference equation is…
We deduce several curious q-series expansions by applying inverse relations to certain identities for basic hypergeometric series. After rewriting some of these expansions in terms of q-integrals, we obtain, in the limit q -> 1, some…

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…
We define a series $\mathcal{F}_{M,N}$ as a certain generalization of $q$-hypergeometric function. We study its duality and the system of $q$-difference nonlinear equations which admits particular solutions in terms of $\mathcal{F}_{1,M}$.
In this paper, we will obtain a variety of interesting $q$-series containing central $q$-binomial coefficients. Our approach is based on manipulating deformed basic hypergeometric series.
We establish new transformation formulas involving theta functions and certain bilateral basic hypergeometric series. From these formulas, we construct companion $q$-series for a class of $q$-series such that the asymptotic expansion of…
Departing from a class of infinite series with central binomial coefficients in the numerator and depending on a positive integer parameter, we first extend known identities to all complex parameters. Then we use various methods, including…

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…
The paper studies logarithmic convexity and concavity of power series with coefficients involving q-gamma functions or q-shifted factorials with respect to a parameter contained in their arguments. The principal motivating examples of such…

We prove a summation formula for a bilateral series whose terms are products of two basic hypergeometric functions. In special cases, series of this type arise as matrix elements of quantum group representations.
We give multidimensional generalizations of several transformation formulae for basic hypergeometric series of a specific type. Most of the upper parameters of the series differ multiplicatively from corresponding lower parameters by a…

With the use of the $(f,g)$-matrix inversion under specializations that $f=1-xy,g=y-x$, we establish an $(1-xy,y-x)$-expansion formula. When specialized to basic hypergeometric series, this $(1-xy,y-x)$-expansion formula leads us to some…
