Abstract

We provide elliptic extensions of elementary identities such as the sum of the first nn odd or even numbers, the geometric sum and the sum of the first nn cubes. Many such identities, and their qq-analogues, are indefinite sums, and can be obtained from telescoping. So we used telescoping in our study to find elliptic extensions of these identities. In the course of our study, we obtained an identity with many parameters, which appears to be new even in the qq-case. In addition, we recover some qq-identities due to Warnaar.
