In [Electron. J. Combin. 10 (2003), #R10], the author presented a new basic
hypergeometric matrix inverse with applications to bilateral basic
hypergeometric series. This matrix inversion result was directly extracted from
an instance of Bailey's very-well-poised 6-psi-6 summation theorem, and
involves two infinite matrices which are not lower-triangular. The present
paper features three different multivariable generalizations of the above
result. These are extracted from Gustafson's A_r and C_r extensions and of the
author's recent A_r extension of Bailey's 6-psi-6 summation formula. By
combining these new multidimensional matrix inverses with A_r and D_r
extensions of Jackson's 8-phi-7 summation theorem three balanced
very-well-poised 8-psi-8 summation theorems associated with the root systems
A_r and C_r are derived.Comment: 24 page
