Constructive Functions 2025 in conjunction with the 37th Shanks Lecture Celebrating Ed Saff's 80th birthday, Tennessee, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri, 19 - 22 Mayıs 2025, ss.68, (Özet Bildiri)
Divided differences and hypergeometric series are intimately related. In this work, divided differences
provide new proofs for some well-known hypergeometric series identities in addition to the existing
proofs in the literature. The proofs of Chu-Vandermonde, Pfaff-Saalsch¨utz, and one of Thomae’s 3F2
transformation formulas are established by a method based on divided differences. The proofs of
the q-versions of these formulas, q-Chu-Vandermonde, q-Pfaff-Saalsch¨utz, and Sear’s Transformation
formulas, are also derived by using divided differences.
