Certain interesting single (or double) infinite series associated with hypergeometric functions have been expressed in terms of Psi (or Digamma) function ${\psi}(z)$, for example, see Nishimoto and Srivastava [8], Srivastava and Nishimoto [13], Saxena [10], and Chen and Srivastava [5], and so on. In this sequel, with a view to unifying and extending those earlier results, we first establish two relations which some double infinite series involving hypergeometric functions are expressed in a single infinite series involving ${\psi}(z)$. With the help of those series relations we derived, we next present two functional relations which some double infinite series involving $\bar{H}$-functions, which are defined by a generalized Mellin-Barnes type of contour integral, are expressed in a single infinite series involving ${\psi}(z)$. The results obtained here are of general character and only two of their special cases, among numerous ones, are pointed out to reduce to some known results.

Fox [2] presented an interesting identity for $_pF_q$ which is expressed in terms of a finite summation of $_pF_q$'s whose involved numerator and denominator parameters are different from those in the starting one. Moreover Fox [2] found a very interesting and general summation formula for $_3F_2(1/2)$ as a special case of his above-mentioned general identity with the help of Kummer's second summation theorem for $_2F_1(1/2)$. Here, in this paper, we show how two general summation formulas for $$_3F_2\[\array{\hspace{110}{\alpha},{\beta},{\gamma};\\{\alpha}-m,\;\frac{1}{2}({\beta}+{\gamma}+i+1);}\;{\frac{1}{2}}\]$$, m being a nonnegative integer and i any integer, can be easily established by suitably specializing the above-mentioned Fox's general identity with, here, the aid of generalizations of Kummer's second summation theorem for $_2F_1(1/2)$ obtained recently by Rakha and Rathie [7]. Several known results are also seen to be certain special cases of our main identities.

InIn this paper we consider generalizations of the classical Dixon's theorem and the classical Whipple's theorem on the sum of a $_3F_2$. The results are derived with the help of generalized Watson's theorem obtained earlier by Mitra. A large number of results contiguous to Dixon's and Whipple's theorems obtained earlier by Lavoie, Grondin and Rathie, and Lavoie, Grondin, Rathie and Arora follow special cases of our main findings.
