Abstract

In this paper, we establish a general q-series expansion formula based on Bailey’s summation formula, whose limiting form reduces to the q-series expansion formula due to Wang and Chern (Integral Transform Special Funct 31(11):873–890, 2020). As applications, four q-series transformations are derived, which imply numerous new Hecke–Rogers type series representations for Eulerian form series and double sums, especially involving the special cases of several q-orthogonal polynomials.
