Transformations of mixed hypergeometric series (Q4389906)

In an earlier paper, the authors [Acta Math. Vietnam 14, No. 1, 95-98 (1989; Zbl 0726.33012)] introduced the mixed hypergeometric series in the following form: \[ A+B^YC +D {(a): q_1^{(b)}; x\brack(c): q_1^{(d)}; q^\lambda}= \sum^\infty_{n=0} {\bigl[(a)\bigr]_n [q^{(b)}]_n \over \bigl[(c) \bigr]_n [q^{(a)}]_n} x^nq^{n(n+1)/2} \] where \(\lambda>0\), \(| q|<1\) and for \(\lambda=0\), \(| x|<1\). Also the various symbols have their usual meanings. In the present paper, the authors derive five transformations for the mixed hypergeometric series defined above with the help of known transformations of the ordinary function \(_2F_1 (a,b;c;z)\) and \(q\)-fractional derivative \(D^\alpha_{q,x}\) defined by \textit{R. P. Agarwal} [Ganita 27, 25-32 (1976; Zbl 0378.44004)]. One of the transformations established is as follows: \[ \begin{multlined} 2+_ry_{2+r} {a,b: q^{\alpha_1}, q^{\alpha_2}, \dots, q{\alpha_r}; z\brack 1,c:q^1, q^{\beta_1}, \dots, q^{\beta_2-1}} =\\ =\sum^\infty_{n=0} {(a)_n(c-b)_n \prod^r_{i=1} (q^{\alpha_i})_n \over n!(c)_n (q^1)_n \prod^{r-1}_{j=1} (q^{\beta_j})_n} \left(1+_ry_{1+r} {a+n: q^{\alpha_ 1+n}, \dots, q^{\alpha_r+n}; z\brack 1:q^{1+n}, q^{\beta_1+n}, q^{\beta_{r-1} +n}}\right) (-z)^n \end{multlined} \] .
