Basic Hypergeometric Series, Second Edition (Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications)

This updated edition will continue to meet the needs for an authoritative comprehensive analysis of the rapidly growing field of basic hypergeometric series, or q-series. It includes deductive proofs, exercises, and useful appendices. Three new chapters have been added to this edition covering q-series in two and more variables: linear- and bilinear-generating functions for basic orthogonal polynomials; and summation and transformation formulas for elliptic hypergeometric series. In addition, the text and bibliography have been expanded to reflect recent developments. First Edition Hb (1990): 0-521-35049-2
