We aim to prove a known summation formula for the series $_4F_3(1)$ by mainly using a similar method as in [2], which is different from that in [3]. The method of proof here as well as that in [2] is potentially useful in getting some other summation formulas for $_pF_q$.

In 1997, Exton, by mainly employing a widely-used process of resolving hypergeometric series into odd and even parts, obtained some new and interesting summation formulas with arguments 1 and -1. We aim at showing how easily many summation formulas can be obtained by simply combining some known summation formulas. Indeed, we present 22 results in the form of two generalized summation formulas for the generalized hypergeometric series $_4F_3$, including two Exton's summation formulas for $_4F_3$ as special cases.

By applying various known summation theorems to a general transformation formula based upon Bailey's transformation theorem due to Slater, Exton has obtained numerous and new quadratic transformations involving hypergeometric functions of order greater than two(some of which have typographical errors). We aim at first deriving a general quadratic transformation formula due to Exton and next providing a list of quadratic formulas(including the corrected forms of Exton's results) and some more results.

There have been provided a surprisingly large number of summation formulae for generalized hypergeometric functions and series incorporating a variety of elementary and special functions in their various combinations. In this paper, we aim to consider certain generalized hypergeometric function ₃F₂ with particular arguments, through which a number of summation formulas for _p+1F_p(1) are provided. We then establish a power series whose coefficients are involved in generalized hypergeometric functions with unit argument. Also, we demonstrate that the generalized hypergeometric functions with unit argument mentioned before may be expressed in terms of Bell polynomials. Further, we explore several special instances of our primary identities, among numerous others, and raise a problem that naturally emerges throughout the course of this investigation.

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.

Very recently, Rakha and Rathie obtained an extension of the classical Saalsch$\ddot{u}$tz's summation theorem. Here, in this paper, we first give an elementary proof of the extended Saalsch$\ddot{u}$tz's summation theorem. By employing it, we next present certain extenstions of Ramanujan's result and another result involving hypergeometric series. The results presented in this paper are simple, interesting and (potentially) useful.

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.

The main object of this paper is to present a transformation formula for a finite series involving $_3F_2$ and some identities associated with the binomial coefficients by making use of the theory of Legendre polynomials $P_{n}$(x) and some summation theorems for hypergeometric functions $_pF_q$. Some integral formulas are also considered.
