Abstract

Two terminating balanced \(_4\phi_3\)-series identities are established by applying the bilateral \(q\)-Legendre inversions. Four variants of them are obtained by means of contiguous relations. According to the polynomial argument, four “dual” formulae for balanced \(_4\phi_3\)-series are deduced, that lead also to four non-terminating \(_2\phi_2\)-series identities.
