Review text

The authors prove summation formulae for finite hypergeometric series. One of their results extends Kummer's summation formula for a hypergeometric series \(_{2}F_{1}(a,b;c;-1)\), \(c=a-b+1\) in the case where \(b=-2m\) and \(m\) is a positive integer. The results of the paper are related to the positivity of Jost functions arising from one-dimensional Schrödinger equations with exponentially decaying potentials.
