No label defined (Q4390729)

Recently, \textit{M. I. Qureshi} and \textit{M. A. Pathan} [J. Aust. Math. Soc., Ser. B 26, 176-182 (1984; Zbl 0558.33006)] gave corrections to some erroneous results of \textit{H. L. Manocha} and \textit{B. L. Sharma} [J. Aust. Math. Soc. 6, 470-476 (1966; Zbl 0151.08003)]. By making use of fractional derivatives, they obtained the following summation for the product of a Gauss hypergeometric polynomial \({_2F_1}\): \[ \begin{multlined} \sum^n_{m= 0} {n![c]_m[1- b- n]_m(- x/y)^m\over m!(n- m)![a]_m[1- d-n]_m} {_2F_1} {- n+m, c+m; x\choose a+m}\times\\ {_2F_1} {-m, d+n- m;y\choose b+n- m}= {_3F_2}{-n, c, 1-b-n; x/y\choose a,1- d-n}\end{multlined}\tag{1} \] from which the corresponding results involving Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials were deduced. One of the special cases of this result yields the correct form of the results of Manocha and Sharma [op. cit.]. Here our attempt is to establish the \(q\)-analogue of the above result. In the sequel, we shall establish certain other results of the above type for \(q\)-series and also transformations for certain \(q\)-series.
