Abel's lemma on summation by parts and basic hypergeometric series (Q2467345)

The author continues to explore the use of Abel's lemma on summation by parts to prove basic hyperegeometric series identities. He gives simple proofs of unilateral and bilateral series identities such as the \(q\)-binomial theorem, the \(_1\psi_1\) summation [transcribed from Aequationes Math. 72, No. 1--2, 172--176 (2006; Zbl 1116.33018)], the \(q\)-Pfaff-Saalschütz summation, and numerous higher transformations and summations.
