We present here the $q$-analogues of certain transformations or reduction formulae for Srivastava-Daoust type double hypergeometric series. These reduction formulae are derived by utilizing the extended Bailey's Transform developed and studied by Joshi and Vyas [Int. J. Math. Sci., (12), 2005, 1909-1927]. A number of well-known $q$-hypergeometric transformations are also obtained as special cases of our results., Comment: 11 pages

Recently, Rathie and K{\i}l{\i}\c{c}man (2014) employed Kummer-type transformation for $_{2}F_{2}(a, d+1; b, d; x)$ to develop certain classes of expansions theorems for $_{2}F_{2}(x)$ hypergeometric polynomial. Our aim is to deduce Kummer-type transformation for $_{2}F_{2}(a, d+2; b, d; x)$ and utilize it to develop some new expansion theorems for the confluent hypergeometric $_{2}F_{2}(x)$ polynomial. We also obtain a well-known result given by Kim et al. (Integral Transforms Spec. Funct. 23(6); 435-444, 2012) and many other new results as particular cases of our theorems., Comment: 10 pages

The classical summation and transformation theorems for very well-poised hypergeometric functions, namely, $_{5}F_4(1)$ summation, Dougall's $_{7}F_6(1)$ summation, Whipple's $_{7}F_6(1)$ to $_{4}F_3(1)$ transformation and Bailey's $_{9}F_8(1)$ to $_{9}F_8(1)$ transformation are extended. These extensions are derived by applying the well-known Bailey's transform method along with the classical very well-poised summation and transformation theorems for very well-poised hypergeometric functions and the Rakha and Rathie's extension of the Saalsch\"{u}tz's theorem. To show importance and applications of the discovered extensions, a number of special cases are pointed out, which leads not only to the extensions of other classical theorems for very well-poised and well-poised hypergeometric functions but also generate new hypergeometric summations and transformations., Comment: 14 pages.
