摘要

A strange nonterminating F-7(6)-series formula was conjectured by Gosper and was confirmed subsequently by Gasper and Rahman, who evaluated another similar F-7(6)-sum. By means of the modified Abel lemma on summation by parts, we prove an analogous strange nonterminating F-7(6)-series summation formula, extending both a terminating F-7(6)-sum and a nonterminating 3F2(3/4)-series evaluated by Chu through inverse series relations and the modified Abel lemma on summation by parts.
