The \(q\)-Borel sum of divergent basic hypergeometric series \(_r\phi_s(a;b;q,x)\) (Q2633032)

The author studies a divergent basic hypergeometric series which is a \(q\)-extensions of divergent hypergeometric series. This series formally satisfies the linear \(q\)-difference equation. For that equation, the author uses \(q\)-Borel summability to give an actual solution which admits basic hypergeometric series as a \(q\)-Gevrey asymptotic expansion. The result also indicates a \(q\)-analog of the Stokes phenomenon. Additionally, the author shows that the result gives the Borel sum of the classical hypergeometric series as \(q \to 1\).
