In this paper, based on the WZ theory, a very succinct new proof, of an identity by Chaundy and Bullard, was given.

Recently the second named author discovered a combinatorial identity in the context of vertex representations of quantum Kac-Moody algebras. We give a direct and elementary proof of this identity. Our method is to show a related identity of…

Given two combinatorial identities proved earlier, a new set of variations of these combinatorial identities is listed and proved with the integral representation method. Some identities from literature are shown to be special cases of…

In the process of studying a conjecture of Holly M. Green and Martin W. Liebeck, we obtain two interesting identities by elementary methods, one is a combinatorial identity, and the other is a number theoretic identity.

This note is dedicated to Professor Gould. The aim is to show how the identities in his book "Combinatorial Identities" can be used to obtain identities for Fibonacci and Lucas polynomials. In turn these identities allow to derive a wealth…

Using the model of words, we give bijective proofs of Gould-Mohanty's and Raney-Mohanty's identities, which are respectively multivariable generalizations of Gould's identity $$\sum_{k=0}^{n}{x-kz\choose k}{y+kz\choose n-k}=…

We present a different combinatorial interpretations of Lucas and Gibonacci numbers. Using these interpretations we prove several new identities, and simplify the proofs of several known identities. Some open problems are discussed towards…

We derive a new Fibonacci identity. This single identity subsumes important known identities such as those of Catalan, Ruggles, Halton and others, as well as standard general identities found in the books by Vajda, Koshy and others. We also…

We give a combinatorial proof of Guo's multi-generalization of Munarini's identity, answering a question of Guo.

We examine an identity originally stated in Ramanujan's ``lost notebook'' and first proven algebraically by Andrews and combinatorially by Kim. We give two independent combinatorial proofs and interpretations of this identity, which also…

In a recent paper, Caracciolo, Sokal and Sportiello presented, inter alia, an algebraic/combinatorial proof for Cayley's identity. The purpose of the present paper is to give a "purely combinatorial" proof for this identity; i.e., a proof…

Based on the work of A. Vershik, we introduce two new combinatorial identities. We show how these identities can be used to prove a new hook-content identity. The main motivation for deriving this identity was a particular optimization…

In this paper we give combinatorial proofs of some well known identities and obtain some generalizations. We give a visual proof of a result of Chapman and Costas-Santos regarding the determinant of sum of matrices. Also we find a new…

We prove an interesting identity for the sum of determinants, which is a generalization of the sum of a geometric progression. The proof is quite long and a number of other identities are proved along the way. Some of the more elementary…

A simple heuristic proof of an integral identity recently derived (Glasser ML 2011 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 44 225202) is presented.

We present a new proof of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities. Surprisingly, all its ingredients are available already in Rogers seminal paper from 1894, where he gave a considerably more complicated proof.

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…

We present what we call a "motivated proof" of the G\"{o}llnitz-Gordon-Andrews identities. A similar motivated proof of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities was previously given by G. E. Andrews and R. J. Baxter, and was subsequently generalized…
