Abstract

We prove a duality relation for the generalized basic hypergeometric functions. It forms a q-extension of a recent result of the second- and the third-named authors and generalizes both a q-hypergeometric identity due to the third-named author (jointly with Feng and Yang) and a recent identity for the Heine’s \({}_2\phi _{1}\) function due to Suzuki. We further explore various consequences of our identity leading to several presumably new multi-term relations for both terminating and non-terminating generalized basic hypergeometric series. Moreover, we give confluent versions of our results and furnish a number of explicit examples.
