Abstract:

In this paper we obtain the sum of a double series $F(1,1)$ and, in a particular case, we get a new formula $_4{F_3}(1)$, \[ _4{F_3}\left [ {\begin {array}{*{20}{c}} {\alpha ,\beta - \alpha ,1/2\rho ,1/2\rho + 1/2;1} \\ {1/2\beta ,1/2(1 + \beta ),1 + \rho ;} \\ \end {array} } \right ] = \tfrac {{\Gamma (\beta - \rho - \alpha )\Gamma (\beta )}} {{\Gamma (\beta - \rho )\Gamma (\beta - \alpha )}},\] provided that $R(\beta - \alpha ) > 0$, $R(\beta - \rho - \alpha ) > 0$ and $R(\beta - \rho ) > 0$. If $\alpha = - n$, the formula reduces to a known result due to Bailey [2].
