Whipple derived a great many identities for generalized hypergeometric functions , many of which are consequently known as Whipple's identities
(transformations, etc.). Among Whipple's identities include
(Bailey 1935, p. 15; Koepf 1998, p. 32), where is a generalized
hypergeometric function and is a gamma function ,
and
(Bailey 1935, p. 28).
