The aim of this research paper is to provide certain generalizations of two well-known summations due to Ramanujan. The results are derived with the help of the generalized Dixon's theorem on the sum of $_3F_2$ and the generalized Kummer's theorem for $_2F_1$ obtained earlier by Lavoie et al. [3, 5]. As their special cases, we have obtained fifteen interesting summations which are closely related to Ramanujan's summation.

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.

A number of identities associated with the product of generalized hypergeometric series have been investigated. In this paper, we aim to establish an identity involving the product of the generalized hypergeometric series $_2F_2$. We do this using the generalized Kummer-type II transformation due to Rathie and Pogany and another identity due to Bailey. The result presented here, being general, can be reduced to a number of relatively simple identities involving the product of generalized hypergeometric series, some of which are observed to correspond to known ones.

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.

The authors aim mainly at giving fifteen three-term contiguous relations for the basic hypergeometric series $series\;_2{\phi}_1$ corresponding to Gauss's contiguous relations for the hypergeometric series $series\;_2F_1$ given in Rainville([6], p.71). They also apply them to obtain two summation formulas closely related to a known q-analogue of Kummer's theorem.

In this short research note, we aim to provide a new proof of classical Dixon's summation theorem for the series $_3F_2$ with unit argument. The theorem is obtained by evaluating an infinite integral and making use of classical Gauss's and Kummer's summation theorem for the series $_2F_1$.

This paper is in continuation of the paper very recently published [New Laplace transforms of Kummer's confluent hypergeometric functions, Math. Comp. Modelling, 55 (2012), 1068-1071]. In this paper, our main objective is to show one can obtain so far unknown Laplace transforms of three rather general cases of generalized hypergeometric function $_2F_2(x)$ by employing generalized Watson's, Dixon's and Whipple's summation theorems for the series $_3F_2$ obtained earlier in a series of three research papers by Lavoie et al. [5, 6, 7]. The results established in this paper may be useful in theoretical physics, engineering and mathematics.

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.

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 authors aim at presenting summation formulas of Appell's function $F_1$: $$F_1(a;b,b';1+a+b-b'+i;1,-1)\;(i=0,\;{\pm}1,\;{\pm}2,\;{\pm}3,\;{\pm}4,\;{\pm}5)$$, which, for i=0, yields a known result due to Srivastava.
