Summations for basic
hypergeometric series involving a q-analogue of the digamma
function
(24 pages)
Abstract.
Using a simple method, numerous summation formulas for
hypergeometric and
basic hypergeometric series are derived. Among these summation
formulas are nonterminating extensions and q-extensions of
identities recorded by Lavoie, Luke, Watson, and Srivastava. At the result
side of the basic hypergeometric
summations there appears a q-analogue of the digamma
function. Some of its properties are also studied.
