An identity by Ramanujan related to the multisection of Bernoulli numbers is revisited. Two alternative approaches are proposed, both relying on the multisection technique. A geometric approach reveals the role played by the symmetries of…

We establish a $q$-analogue of Sun--Zhao's congruence on harmonic sums. Based on this $q$-congruence and a $q$-series identity, we prove a congruence conjecture on sums of central $q$-binomial coefficients, which was recently proposed by…

We show some definite integrals connecting to infinite series, studied in Ramanujan's paper, titled "On question 330 of Professor Sanjana". We present few recursive methods to evaluate these definite integrals in various cases and we…
We use the method of generating functions to find the limit of a $q$-continued fraction, with 4 parameters, as a ratio of certain $q$-series. We then use this result to give new proofs of several known continued fraction identities,…

In this paper, we state some $q$-analogues of the famous Ramanujan's Master Theorem. As applications, some values of Jackson's $q$-integrals involving $q$-special functions are computed.
In his lost notebook, Ramanujan listed 5 identities related to the false theta function $$f(q)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^nq^{n(n+1)/2}.$$ A new combinatorial interpretation and proof of one of these identities is given. The methods of the…
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.
Using a simple classical method we derive bilateral series identities from terminating ones. In particular, we show how to deduce Ramanujan's 1-psi-1 summation from the q-Pfaff-Saalschuetz summation. Further, we apply the same method to our…
We give a $q$-analogue of some binomial coefficient identities of Y. Sun [Electron. J. Combin. 17 (2010), #N20] as follows: {align*} \sum_{k=0}^{\lfloor n/2\rfloor}{m+k\brack k}_{q^2}{m+1\brack n-2k}_{q} q^{n-2k\choose 2} &={m+n\brack…
Ramanujan recorded five $q$-series identities at the end of his second notebook and an unified generalization of these identities obtained by Bhoria, Eyyunni and Maji. Recently, Dixit and Patel gave a finite analogue of the identity of…
