In this paper, the author proves some basic hypergeometric series which utilizes the same ideas that Margaret Jackson used to give a proof of Ramanujan’s [Formula: see text] summation formula.

AbstractSeveral new q-supercongruences are obtained using transformation formulas for basic hypergeometric series, together with various techniques such as suitably combining terms, and creative microscoping, a method recently developed by the first author in collaboration with Zudilin. More concretely, the results in this paper include q-analogues of supercongruences (referring to p-adic identities remaining valid for some higher power of p) established by Long, by Long and Ramakrishna, and several other q-supercongruences. The six basic hypergeometric transformation formulas which are made use of are Watson’s transformation, a quadratic transformation of Rahman, a cubic transformation of Gasper and Rahman, a quartic transformation of Gasper and Rahman, a double series transformation of Ismail, Rahman and Suslov, and a new transformation formula for a nonterminating very-well-poised $${}_{12}\phi _{11}$$ 12 ϕ 11 series. Also, the nonterminating q-Dixon summation formula is used. A special case of the new $${}_{12}\phi _{11}$$ 12 ϕ 11 transformation formula is further utilized to obtain a generalization of Rogers’ linearization formula for the continuous q-ultraspherical polynomials.

We have obtained a new summation formula for bilateral basic hypergeometric series by the method of parameter augmentation and demonstrated its various uses leading to some development of etafunctions, -gamma, and -beta function identities.

In a series of recent papers Verma and Upadhyay (7,8,9) developed the theory of basic hypergeometric series with two bases q and q½. These investigations were made in an attempt to discover a summation formula for a bilateral basic hypergeometric series 2Ψ2 analogous to that for a 2H2 (cf. Bailey (2,3)) and in finding relations between certain q-infinite products. In one of their papers they mentioned that it did not seem possible to develop the corresponding general theory for basic series with two unconnected bases q and q1. A recent paper by Andrews (1) indicates that transformations between basic hypergeometric series with two unconnected bases can be very interesting and useful in the study of ‘mock’ theta functions and their extensions. Besides this interest, such a theory also enables one to extend the entire existing transformation theory of the generalized basic hypergeometric series.
