文摘The unifiedΩ-series of the Gauss and Bailey2F1(1/2)-sums will be investigated by utilizing asymptotic methods and the modified Abel lemma on summation by parts.Several remarkable transformation theorems for theΩ-series will be proved whose particular cases turn out to be strange evaluations of nonterminating hypergeometric series and infinite series identities of Ramanujan-type,including a couple of beautiful expressions forπand the Catalan constant discovered by Guillera(2008).
