In the theory of hypergeometric and generalized hypergeometric series, classical summation theorems have been found interesting applications in obtaining various series identities for ${\Pi}$, ${\Pi}^2$ and ${\frac{1}{\Pi}}$. The aim of this research paper is to provide twelve general formulas for ${\frac{1}{\Pi}}$. On specializing the parameters, a large number of very interesting series identities for ${\frac{1}{\Pi}}$ not previously appeared in the literature have been obtained. Also, several other results for multiples of ${\Pi}$, ${\Pi}^2$, ${\frac{1}{{\Pi}^2}}$, ${\frac{1}{{\Pi}^3}}$ and ${\frac{1}{\sqrt{\Pi}}}$ have been obtained. The results are established with the help of the extensions of classical Gauss's summation theorem available in the literature.

Motivated by several generalizations of the Pochhammer symbol and their associated families of hypergeometric functions and hypergeometric polynomials, by choosing to use a very generalized Pochhammer symbol, we aim to introduce certain extensions of the generalized Lauricella function F⁽ⁿ⁾_A and the Humbert's confluent hypergeometric function Ψ⁽ⁿ⁾ of n variables with, as their respective particular cases, the second Appell hypergeometric function F₂ and the generalized Humbert's confluent hypergeometric functions Ψ₂ and investigate their several properties including, for example, various integral representations, finite summation formulas with an s-fold sum and integral representations involving the Laguerre polynomials, the incomplete gamma functions, and the Bessel and modified Bessel functions. Also, pertinent links between the major identities discussed in this article and different (existing or novel) findings are revealed.
