Let $F(n,k)$ be a hypergeometric function that may be expressed so that $n$ appears within initial arguments of inverted Pochhammer symbols, as in factors of the form $\frac{1}{(n)_{k}}$. Only in exceptional cases is $F(n, k)$ such that…

In a study of congruences for the Fishburn numbers, Andrews and Sellers observed empirically that certain polynomials appearing in the dissections of the partial sums of the Kontsevich-Zagier series are divisible by a certain $q$-factorial.…
We obtain addition formulas for $_{p}F_{p}$ and $_{p+1}F_{p}$ generalized hypergeometric functions with general parameters. These are utilized in conjunction with integral representations of these functions to derive Kummer- and Euler-type…
In this paper we present an addition to Askey's scheme of q-hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials involving classes of q-special functions which do not consist of polynomials only. The special functions are q-analogues of the Jacobi and…
We define a nonlinear $q$-difference system $mathcal{P}_{N,(M_-,M_+)}$ as monodromy preserving deformations of a certain linear equation. We study its relation to a series $mathcal{F}_{N,M}$ defined as a certain generalization of…
Motivated mainly by certain interesting recent extensions of the Gamma, Beta and hypergeometric functions, we introduce here new extensions of the Beta function, hypergeometric and confluent hypergeometric functions. We systematically…
This is the typewritten version of a handwritten manuscript which was completed by Ian G. Macdonald in 1987 or 1988. It is the sequel to the manuscript "Hypergeometric functions I." The two manuscripts are very informal working papers,…
We analyze the Macdonald's $(q,t)$-deformed hypergeometric functions with one and two set variables and present their constraints. We prove the uniqueness to the solutions of these constraints. We propose a concise method to prove the…
In this paper, we mainly establish two supercongruences involving truncated hypergeometric series by using some hypergeometric transformation formulas. The first supercongruence confirms a recent conjecture of the second author. The second…
The paper is a survey of recent results in analysis of additive functions over function fields motivated by applications to various classes of special functions including Thakur's hypergeometric function. We consider basic notions and…
In this article three expansion formulas for a generalized hypergeometric function $_4F_3$ are derived, when its upper parameters differ by integers. Though the results are special cases of a general continuation formula for $_pF_q$, they…
Recently, there emerges different versions of beta function and hypergeometric functions containing extra parameters. Gaining enlightenment from these ideas, we will first introduce a new extension of generalized hypergeometric function and…
With the help of hypergeometric functions over finite fields, we study some arithmetic properties of cyclotomic matrices involving characters and binary quadratic forms over finite fields. Also, we confirm some related conjectures posed by…
Let p be an odd prime. In 1984, Greene introduced the notion of hypergeometric functions over finite fields. Special values of these functions have been of interest as they are related to the number of F_p points on algebraic varieties and…
In solving $q$-difference equations, and in the definition of $q$-special functions, we encounter formal power series in which the $n$th coefficient is of size $q^{-\binom{n}{2}}$ with $q\in(0,1)$ fixed. To make sense of these formal…
