In his study of Ramanujan-Sato type series for $1/\pi$, Sun introduced a sequence of polynomials $S_n(q)$ as given by $$S_n(q)=\sum\limits_{k=0}^n{n\choose k}{2k\choose k}{2(n-k)\choose n-k}q^k,$$ and he conjectured that the polynomials…
The Factorial Basis method, initially designed for quasi-triangular, shift-compatible factorial bases, provides solutions to linear recurrence equations in the form of definite-sums. This paper extends the Factorial Basis method to its…

For $\sigma \in S_n$, let $D(\sigma) = \{i : \sigma_{i} > \sigma_{i+1}\}$ denote the descent set of $\sigma$. The length of the permutation is the number of inversions, denoted by $inv(\sigma) = \big | \{(i,j) : i<j, \sigma_i > \sigma_j\}…

We derive two new generalizations of the Busche-Ramanujan identities involving the multiple Dirichlet convolution of arithmetic functions of several variables. The proofs use formal multiple Dirichlet series and properties of symmetric…
The tail of the colored Jones polynomial of an alternating link is a $q$-series invariant whose first $n$ terms coincide with the first $n$ terms of the $n$-th colored Jones polynomial. Recently, it has been shown that the tail of the…

The Ramanujan--Mordell Theorem for sums of an even number of squares is extended to other quadratic forms and quadratic polynomials.
Ramanujan presented four identities for third order mock theta functions in his Lost Notebook. In 2005, with the aid of complex analysis, Yesilyurt first proved these four identities. Recently, Andrews et al. provided different proofs by…
In this paper we establish a $q$-analogue of a congruence of Sun concerning the products of binomial coefficients modulo the square of a prime.
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…
The recent interest in $q$-Stirling numbers of the second kind in type B prompted us to give a type B analogue of a classical identity connecting the $q$-Stirling numbers of the second kind and Carlitz's major $q$-Eulerian numbers, which…
In this paper, we first give a simple combinatorial proof of Tepper's identity. Then, as a by product of this interesting identity we present another proof of the well-known Wilson's identity in number theory. Finally, we obtain a…
