New properties and representations for members of the power-variance family. II

This is the continuation of [V. Vinogradov, R.B. Paris, and O. Yanushkevichiene, New properties and representations for members of the power-variance family. I, Lith. Math. J., 52(4):444–461, 2012]. Members of the powervariance family of distributions became popular in stochastic modeling which necessitates a further investigation of their properties. Here, we establish Zolotarev duality of the refined saddlepoint-type approximations for all members of this family, thereby providing an interpretation of the Letac–Mora reciprocity of the corresponding NEFs. Several illustrative examples are given. Subtle properties of related special functions are established.An erratum to this article is available at 10.1007/s10986-014-9240-1

An extension of Saalschütz's summation theorem for the series _<i>r</i>+3F_<i>r</i>+2

The aim in this research note is to provide an extension of Saalschütz's summation theorem for the series r+3Fr+2(1) when r pairs of numeratorial and denominatorial parameters differ by positive integers. The result is obtained by exploiting a generalization of an Euler-type transformation recently derived by Miller and Paris [Transformation formulas for the generalized hypergeometric function with integral parameter differences. Rocky Mountain J Math. 2013;43, to appear]
