Some implications of the WP-Bailey tree

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider a special case of a WP-Bailey chain of George Andrews, and use it to derive a number of curious transformations of basic hypergeometric series. We also derive two new WP-Bailey pairs, and use them to derive some additional new transformations for basic hypergeometric series. Finally, we briefly consider the implications of WP-Bailey pairs\ (alphan(a,k), , in which alphan(a,k) is independent of k, for generalizations of identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan type.


The authors consider a special type of a WP-Bailey chain of \textit{G. E. Andrews} [NATO Sci. Ser. II, Math. Phys. Chem. 30, 1--22 (2001; Zbl 1005.33005)] and they use it to obtain several transformations for basic hypergeometric series. Also they derive two new WP-Bailey pairs which imply additional transformations for basic hypergeometric series. Then they consider the case of WP-Burge pairs (WP-Bailey pair \((a_n(p,k),b_n(p,k))\) in which \(a_n(p,k)\) does not depend on \(k\)) [see \textit{G. Andrews} and \textit{A. Berkovich}, J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 66, No.~3, 529--549 (2002; Zbl 1049.33010)].
