This paper gives a short but reasonably comprehensive review of Ramanujan's {_1\psi_1} summation and its generalisations. It covers the history of Ramanujan's summation, simple applications to sums of squares and orthogonal polynomials,…
We use Zeilberger's algorithm for proving some identities of Ramanujan-type via $_2F_1$ evaluations.
The Ramanujan $_1\psi_1$ summation theorem in studied from the perspective of $q$-Jackson integrals, $q$-difference equations and connection formulas. This is an approach which has previously been shown to yield Bailey's very-well-poised…
We give summation formulae for the bilateral basic hypergeometric series ${}_1\psi_1( a; b; q, z )$ through Ramanujan's summation formula, which are generalizations of nontrivial identities found in the physics of three-dimensional Abelian…
We give "hybrid" proofs of the $q$-binomial theorem and other identities. The proofs are "hybrid" in the sense that we use partition arguments to prove a restricted version of the theorem, and then use analytic methods (in the form of the…
Gaussian polynomial, which is also known as $q$-binomial coefficient, is one of the fundamental concepts in the theory of partitions. Zeilberger provided a combinatorial proof of Gaussian polynomial, which is called Algorithm Z by Andrews…
We have found several summation formulas that extend Ramanujan's psi sum. First contains a parameter $\alpha=1/N$, $N$ is a positive integer, and transforms to $q$-beta integral in the limit $N\to\infty$. The other is a $q$-analogue of…
In this article we will derive a combinatorial formula for the partition function p(n). In the second part of the paper we will establish connection between partitions and q-binomial coefficients and give new interpretation for q-binomial…
The derivation of the Hardy-Ramanujan-Rademacher formula for the number of partitions of $n$ is reviewed. Next, the steps for finding analogous formulas for certain restricted classes of partitions or overpartiitons is examined, bearing in…
Using the WZ-method we find some of the easiest Ramanujan's formulae and also some new interesting Ramanujan-like sums.
General summation formulas have been proved to be very useful in analysis, number theory and other branches of mathematics. The Lipschitz summation formula is one of them. In this paper, we give its application by providing a new…
A well-known result from Hardy and Ramanujan gives an asymptotic expression for the number of possible ways to express an integer as the sum of smaller integers. In this vein, we consider the general partitioning problem of writing an…
We derive the asymptotic formula for $p_n(N,M)$, the number of partitions of integer $n$ with part size at most $N$ and length at most $M$. We consider both $N$ and $M$ are comparable to $\sqrt{n}$. This is an extension of the classical…
The partition statistic $V_R$-rank is introduced to give combinatorial proofs of the Ramanujan type congruences mod 3 for certain classes of partition functions.
In this short research note, we aim to establish an interesting extension of a summation due to Ramanujan.The result is derived with the help of an extension of Gauss's summation theorem available in the literature.
The Hardy-Ramanujan formula for the number of integer partitions of $n$ is one of the most popular results in partition theory. While the unabridged final formula has been celebrated as reflecting the genius of its authors, it has become…
Each of Ramanujan's series for $\frac{1}{\pi}$ is of the form $$ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} z^n \frac{ (a_{1})_{n} (a_{2})_{n} (a_{3})_{n} }{ (b_{1})_{n} (b_{2})_{n} (b_{3})_{n} } (c_{1} n + c_2) $$ for rational parameters such that the difference…
In this paper we give a combinatorial proof and refinement of a Rogers-Ramanujan type partition identity of Siladi\'c arising from the study of Lie algebras. Our proof uses generating functions and $q$-difference equations.
This paper argues that automated proofs of identities for non-terminating hypergeometric series are feasible by a combination of Zeilberger's algorithm and asymptotic estimates. For two analogues of Saalsch\"utz' summation formula in the…
We show that several classical bilateral summation and transformation formulas have semi-finite forms. We obtain these semi-finite forms from unilateral summation and transformation formulas. Our method can be applied to derive Ramanujan's…
