Applications of Lehmer's Infinite Series Involving Reciprocals of the Central Binomial Coefficients.

The main objective of this paper is to establish several new closed-form evaluations of the generalized hypergeometric function F q + 1 q z for q = 2 , 3 , 4 , 5. This is achieved by means of separating the generalized hypergeometric function F q + 1 q z (q = 2 , 3 , 4 , 5) into even and odd components together with the use of several known infinite series involving reciprocals of the central binomial coefficients obtained earlier by Lehmer.
