So finding the nontrivial extension of it is a quite significative work. In this paper, we establish, above all, a transformation formula involving two $_8\\psi_8$ series and a $_8\\phi_7$ series according to the analytic continuation argument. When the parameters are specified, it reduces to Bailey's $_6\\psi_6$ series identity and gives two different bilateral generalizations of the nonterminating form of Jackon's $_8\\phi_7$ summation formula. Subsequently, a new extension of Ramanujan's $_1\\psi_1$ series identity involving two $_2\\psi_2$ series and a $_2\\phi_1$ series is derived from this formula and a known transformation formula for bilateral basic hypergeometric series. Finally, a new proof for the known extension of Bailey's $_6\\psi_6$ series identity involving a $_8\\psi_8$ series and two $_8\\phi_7$ series is also offered via the analytic continuation argument.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-05-06T04:27:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "series identity", "seven free parameters", "analytic continuation argument", "bilateral basic hypergeometric series", "transformation formula" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
