Contiguous Extensions of Dixon's Theorem on the Sum of a

In 1994, Lavoie et al. have succeeded in artificially constructing a formula consisting of twenty three interesting results, except for five cases, closely related to the classical Dixon's theorem on the sum of a by making a systematic use of some known relations among contiguous functions. We aim at presenting summation formulas for those five exceptional cases that can be derived by using the same technique developed by Bailey with the help of Gauss's summation theorem and generalized Kummer's theorem.
