Comments on “New hypergeometric identities arising fromGauss’s second summation theorem”
Medhat K. Rakha; Arjun K. Rathie; Purnima Chopra; Richard B. Paris;Abstract
In 1997, Exton [J. Comput. Appl. Math. 88 (1997) 269–274] obtained a general transfor-
mation involving hypergeometric functions by elementary manipulation of series. A number
of hypergeometric identities not previously recorded in the literature were then deduced by
application of Gauss’ second summation theorem and other known hypergeometric summa-
tion theorems. However, many of the results stated by Exton contain errors. It is the purpose
of this note to present the corrected forms of these hypergeometric identities.
