The Gauss summation theorem plays a key role in the theory of(generalized) hypergeometric series. The authors study several proofs of the theorem and consider some applications of it.

Summation theorems for hypergeometric series $_2F_1$ and generalized hypergeometric series $_pF_q$ play important roles in themselves and their diverse applications. Some summation theorems for $_2F_1$ and $_pF_q$ have been established in several or many ways. Here we give a proof of Watson's classical summation theorem for the series $_3F_2$(1) by following the same lines used by Rakha [7] except for the last step in which we applied an integral formula introduced by Choi et al. [3].

The authors aim mainly at giving fifteen three-term contiguous relations for the basic hypergeometric series $series\;_2{\phi}_1$ corresponding to Gauss's contiguous relations for the hypergeometric series $series\;_2F_1$ given in Rainville([6], p.71). They also apply them to obtain two summation formulas closely related to a known q-analogue of Kummer's theorem.

The object of this note is to provide various methods for proving two results contiguous to Kummer's second theorem by using the classical Gauss's summation theorem and contiguous relations.

In 1972, Andrews derived the basic analogue of Gauss's second summation theorem and Bailey's theorem by implementing basic analogue of Kummer's theorem into identity due to Jackson. Recently Lavoie et.al. derived many results closely related to Kummer's theorem, Gauss's second summation theorem and Bailey's theorem and also Rakha et. al. derive the basic analogues of results closely related Kummer's theorem. The aim of this paper is to derive basic analogues of results closely related Gauss's second summation theorem and Bailey's theorem. Some applications and limiting cases are also considered.

In this short research note, we aim to provide a new proof of classical Dixon's summation theorem for the series $_3F_2$ with unit argument. The theorem is obtained by evaluating an infinite integral and making use of classical Gauss's and Kummer's summation theorem for the series $_2F_1$.

We aim at deriving Gauss's second summation theorem for the series $_2F_1(1/2)$ by using Euler's integral representation for $_2F_1$. It seems that this method of proof has not been tried.

In 1994, Lavoie et al. have obtained twenty tree interesting results closely related to the classical Dixon's theorem on the sum of a $_3F_2$ by making a systematic use of some known relations among contiguous functions. We aim at showing that these results can be derived by using the same technique developed by Bailey with the help of Gauss's summation theorem and generalized Kummer's theorem obtained by Lavoie et al..

The first object of this note is to show that a summation formula due to Padmanabham for three-variables hypergeometric function $X_8$ introduced by Exton can be proved in a different (from Padmanabham's and his observation) yet, in a sense, conventional method, which has been employed in obtaining a variety of identities associated with hypergeometric series. The second purpose is to point out that one of two seemingly new hypergeometric identities due to Exton was already recorded and the other one is easily derivable from the first one. A corrected and a little more compact form of a general transform involving hypergeometric functions due to Exton is also given.

The aim of this research note is to derive the well known Kummer's second theorem by transforming the integrals which represent some generalized hypergeometric functions. This theorem can also be shown by combining two known Bailey's and Preece's identities for the product of generalized hypergeometric series.
