What is the Heine Transformation Formula for q-hypergeometric series?

Using the q-binomial theorem, we can rewrite the right side as:\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(az;q)_n}{(q;q)_n} \left(\frac{c}{b} \right)^n \frac{(b;q)_n (z;q)_n}{(q;q)_n} (b;q)^nFinally, applying the q-Pochhammer identity again, we get:\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(a;q)_n (b;q)_n}{(q;q)_n (c;q)_n} \frac{(b;q)_n (z;q)_n}{(q;q)_n} (

Prove the following

\(\displaystyle {}_2\phi_1 (a,b;c;q,z) =\frac{(b;q)_\infty (az;q)_\infty}{(c;q)_\infty (z;q)_\infty} {}_2\phi_1 \left(\frac{c}{b},z;az;q,b \right)\)​

Proof:
Let
{}_2\phi_1 (a,b;c;q,z) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(a;q)_n (b;q)_n}{(q;q)_n (c;q)_n} (z;q)^n

and

{}_2\phi_1 \left(\frac{c}{b},z;az;q,b \right)= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(\frac{c}{b};q)_n (z;q)_n}{(q;q)_n (az;q)_n} (b;q)^n

Multiply both sides by the common denominator and apply the q-Pochhammer identity:

\frac{(b;q)_\infty (az;q)_\infty}{(c;q)_\infty (z;q)_\infty} \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(\frac{c}{b};q)_n (z;q)_n (b;q)_n}{(q;q)_n (az;q)_n} (b;q)^n

What is the Heine transformation formula?

The Heine transformation formula is a mathematical tool used to relate two different types of integrals. It is named after the German mathematician Eduard Heine.

How is the Heine transformation formula used?

The Heine transformation formula is used to transform an integral of a product of two functions into an integral of a product of two different functions. This can be useful in solving certain types of integrals that may be difficult to solve directly.

What is the formula for the Heine transformation formula?

The formula for the Heine transformation is:
ab f(x)g(x)dx = (b-a)∫01 f(a+(b-a)t)g(a+(b-a)(1-t))dt
