The basic bilateral hypergeometric series and the mock theta functions (Q539129)

In his last letter to G. N. Hardy, S. Ramanujan introduced the mock theta functions, and he also presented mock theta functions and their identities in his last note book. G. N. Watson investigated the relations between Ramanujan's fifth order mock theta function and the function introduced by M. Lerch. In this paper, the author introduces the infinite families of generalizations of classical mock theta functions and understand them with the properties of the basic bilateral hypergeometric series. It has been also investigated the relations between the basic bilateral hypergeometric series and the functions deduced from all mock theta functions introduced by G. E. Andrews, B. C. Berndt, S. H.Chan, R. McIntosh, Ramanujan and Watson.
