Fox [2] presented an interesting identity for $_pF_q$ which is expressed in terms of a finite summation of $_pF_q$'s whose involved numerator and denominator parameters are different from those in the starting one. Moreover Fox [2] found a very interesting and general summation formula for $_3F_2(1/2)$ as a special case of his above-mentioned general identity with the help of Kummer's second summation theorem for $_2F_1(1/2)$. Here, in this paper, we show how two general summation formulas for $$_3F_2\[\array{\hspace{110}{\alpha},{\beta},{\gamma};\\{\alpha}-m,\;\frac{1}{2}({\beta}+{\gamma}+i+1);}\;{\frac{1}{2}}\]$$, m being a nonnegative integer and i any integer, can be easily established by suitably specializing the above-mentioned Fox's general identity with, here, the aid of generalizations of Kummer's second summation theorem for $_2F_1(1/2)$ obtained recently by Rakha and Rathie [7]. Several known results are also seen to be certain special cases of our main identities.

By establishing a new summation formula for the series $_3F_2(\frac{1}{2})$, recently Rathie and Pogany have obtained an interesting result known as Kummer type II transformation for the generalized hypergeometric function $_2F_2$. Here we aim at deriving their result by using a very elementary method and presenting two elegant results for certain terminating series $_3F_2(2)$. Furthermore two interesting applications of our new results are demonstrated.

We aim at giving explicit expressions of $${\sum_{m,n=0}^{{\infty}}}{\frac{{\Delta}_{m+n}(-1)^nx^{m+n}}{({\rho})_m({\rho}+i)_nm!n!}$$, where i = 0, ${\pm}1$, ${\ldots}$, ${\pm}9$ and $\{{\Delta}_n\}$ is a bounded sequence of complex numbers. The main result is derived with the help of the generalized Kummer's summation theorem for the series $_2F_1$ obtained earlier by Choi. Further some special cases of the main result considered here are shown to include the results obtained earlier by Kim and Rathie and the identity due to Bailey.

The aim of this paper is to obtain three interesting results for reducibility of Kamp$\'{e}$ de $\'{e}$riet function. The results are derived with the help of contiguous Gauss's second summation formulas obtained earlier by Lavoie et al. The results obtained by Bailey, Rathie and Nagar follow special cases of our main findings.

A large number of summation and transformation formulas involving (generalized) hypergeometric functions have been developed by many authors. Here we aim at establishing two (presumably) new general hypergeometric transformations. The results are derived by manipulating the involved series in an elementary way with the aid of certain hypergeometric summation theorems obtained earlier by Rakha and Rathie. Relevant connections of certain special cases of our main results with several known identities are also pointed out.

The main objective of this paper is to obtain a formula containing eleven interesting results for the reducibility of Kamp$\acute{e}$ de F$\acute{e}$riet function. The results are derived with the help of two general results for the series $_2F_1(2)$ very recently presented by Kim et al. Well known Kummer's second theorem and its contiguous results proved earlier by Rathie and Nagar, and Kim et al. follow special cases of our main findings.

The main objective of this paper is to establish certain explicit expressions for the Humbert functions ${\Phi}_2$(a, a + i ; c ; x, -x) and ${\Psi}_2$(a ; c, c + i ; x, -x) for i = 0, ${\pm}1$, ${\pm}2$, ..., ${\pm}5$. Several new and known summation formulas for ${\Phi}_2$ and ${\Psi}_2$ are considered as special cases of our main identities.

Generating functions play an important role in the investigation of various useful properties of the sequences which they generate. Exton [13] presented a very general double generating relation involving products of two Laguerre polynomials. Motivated essentially by Exton's derivation [13], the authors aim to show how one can obtain nineteen new generating relations associated with products of two Laguerre polynomials in the form of a single result. We also consider some interesting and potentially useful special cases of our main findings.
