Applications of Saalschütz's theorem in hypergeometric transformation involving quarter and unit arguments (Q2751685)

By series manipulations and Saalschütz's theorem, the authors establish the expansion NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\begin{multlined} F\left[ \begin{matrix} 3a, \frac 13 -a, & (b);\\ 2a + \frac 56, & (d);\end{matrix} \frac 14 z\right]= \\ =\sum^\infty_{m=0} {(a)_m (a+ \frac 13)_m \bigl((b)\bigr)_m (-\frac {27}{4}z)^m \over(2a+ \frac 56)_m\bigl( (d)\bigr)_mm!} F\left[ \begin{matrix} 3a+3m, & (b)+m;\\ & (d)+m; \end{matrix} z\right], \end{multlined}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(F\) is a generalized hypergeometric function. By specialization and a few further manipulations, the desired transformations, each involving a special \(_3F_2[\frac 14]\) and a special \(_5F_4[1]\), are obtained. It should be noted that the transformation (1.1) holds only in the terminating case.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0970.00018].
