Abstract:
Several facts concerning transformations and summations of hypergeometric functions with integral parametric
differences have been proven. A new summation formula complementing the well-known Karlsson – Minton summation
formula has been established. A new three – term relation has been derived from the first Miller – Paris
transformation. It is shown how the second Miller – Paris transformation can be obtained by induction from the
Euler – Pfaff transformation, and a recursive formula for the representing polynomial is provided. An integral
representation of Meijer's $G$-function, which underlies the second Miller – Paris transformation, has been
established.
Key words:generalized hypergeometric function, summation formulas, hypergeometric identity, Miller – Paris transformations.
