Let the symmetric functions be defined for the pair of integers $\left( n,r\right) $, $n\geq r\geq 1$, by $p_{n}^{\left( r\right) }=\sum m_{\lambda }$ where $m_{\lambda }$ are the monomial symmetric functions, the sum being over the…

We explore a number of functional properties of the $q$-gamma function and a class of its quotients; including the $q$-beta function. We obtain formulas for all higher logarithmic derivatives of these quotients and give precise conditions…

We utilize a combination of integral transforms, including the Laplace transform, with some classical results in analytic number theory concerning the Riemann $\xi$-function, to obtain a new integral equation. We also provide a new proof of…

In a recent paper G. Bhatnagar has given simple proofs of some of Ramanujan's continued fractions. In this note we show that some variants of these continued fractions are generating functions of q-Schroeder-like numbers.

In terms of the difference operators, we establish several curious transformation and summation formulas for basic hypergeometric series. When the parameters are specified, they produce $q$-analogues of Ramanujan's three series for 1/$\pi$…

Ramanujan's lost notebook contains many mock theta functions and mock theta function identities not mentioned in his last letter to Hardy. For example, we find the four tenth-order mock theta functions and their six identities. The six…

This work presents proofs of the main results of (math.QA/9808015), except those on q-Berezin transform to appear in a subsequent work. The notation and the results of (math.QA/9808037) and (math.QA/9808047) are used.

Ramanujan's 1920 last letter to Hardy contains seventeen examples of mock theta functions which he organized into three "orders." The most famous of these is the third-order function $f(q)$ which has received the most attention of any…

Let $q=e^{2\pi i\tau}$, $\Im\tau>0$, $x=e^{2\pi i\xi}\in\CC$ and $(x;q)_\infty=\prod_{n\ge 0}(1-xq^n)$. Let $(q,x)\mapsto(q^*,\iota_q x)$ be the classical modular substitution given by $q^*=e^{-2\pi i/\tau}$ and $\iota_q x=e^{2\pi…

Various forms of the $q$-boson are explained and their hidden symmetry revealed by transformations using the exponential phase operator. Both the one-component and the multicomponent $q$-bosons are discussed. As a byproduct, we obtain a new…

I present here a collection of formulas inspired from the Ramanujan Notebooks. These formulas were found using an experimental method based on three widely available symbolic computation programs: PARI-Gp, Maple and Mathematica. A new…

The connection formulae provide a systematic way to compute physical quantities, such as the quasinormal modes, Green functions, in blackhole perturbation theories. In this work, we test whether it is possible to consistently take the…

Integral representations of two $q$-difference operators are provided in terms of special functions arising in the theory of asymptotic solutions to $q$-difference equations in the complex domain. Both representations are unified through…

We study, in this paper, a one parameter deformation of the $q-$Laguerre weight function. An investigation is made on the polynomials orthogonal with respect to such a weight. With the aid of the two compatibility conditions previously…

In this paper we will establish some double-angle formulas related to the inverse function of $\int_0^x dt/\sqrt{1-t^6}$. This function appears in Ramanujan's Notebooks and is regarded as a generalized version of the lemniscate function.

In a recent paper, a new 3-parameter class of Abel type equations, so-called AIR, all of whose members can be mapped into Riccati equations, is shown. Most of the Abel equations with solution presented in the literature belong to the AIR…

In this paper, for every $n \in \mathbb{N}$, the following relationships between the functions $K_{b}(n)$ and $K_{e}(n)$ and the Bernoulli and Euler numbers are proved: \[ B_{2n} = -\,\frac{(2n)!}{2^{2n}-2}\, K_{b}(n), \qquad E_{2n} =…
