The Saalschütz chain reactions and bilateral basic hypergeometric series

By iterating recursively the q-Saalschütz summation formula, we introduce the Saalschütz chain reactions. A general series transform, which expresses a nonterminating bilateral series in terms of a finite multiple unilateral sum, will be established. As applications we derive, by means of Bailey’s 6...

Zusammenfassung:By iterating recursively the q-Saalschütz summation formula, we introduce the Saalschütz chain reactions. A general series transform, which expresses a nonterminating bilateral series in terms of a finite multiple unilateral sum, will be established. As applications we derive, by means of Bailey’s 6ψ6 -series identity, several bilateral transformations including one due to Milne [12]. These transformations further yield a number of closed formulas of very well-poised bilateral basic hypergeometric series; which are closely related to the identities obtained by Minton [13], Karlsson [11], Gasper [8], and Chu [5], [6], [7] through the partial fraction method and divided differences.
