Abstract

In many cases one may encounter an integral which is of qq-Mellin--Barnes type. These integrals are easily evaluated using theorems which have a long history dating back to Slater, Askey, Gasper, Rahman and others. We derive some interesting qq-Mellin--Barnes integrals and using them we derive transformation and summation formulas for nonterminating basic hypergeometric functions. The cases which we treat include ratios of theta functions, the Askey--Wilson moments, nonterminating well-poised 3ϕ2{}_3\phi_2, nonterminating very-well-poised 5W4{}_5W_4, 8W7{}_8W_7, products of two nonterminating 2ϕ1{}_2\phi_1's, square of a nonterminating well-poised 2ϕ1{}_2\phi_1, and nonterminating 12W11{}_{12}W_{11} and 10W9{}_{10}W_9.
