The C WP-Bailey chain

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of Cn WP-Bailey pairs. The Cn WP-Bailey transform is obtained by applying the Cn6ϕ5 summation formula. From this result, the Cn WP-Bailey lemma is deduced by making use of the Cn q-Dougall summation formula. Some applications are investigated. Finally, the case of elliptic Cn WP-Bailey pairs is discussed.
