In 2012, Andrews and Merca proved a truncated theorem on Euler's pentagonal number theorem, which opened up a new study on truncated theta series. In particular, some truncated versions of a identity of Gauss have been proved. In this…
We prove an interesting symmetric $q$-series identity which generalizes a result due to Ramanujan. A proof that is analytic in nature is offered, and a bijective-type proof is also outlined.
Schouten's identity is used to obtain a new identity in Minkowski space. Some applications of the new identity in high-energy physics are considered, including the possibility of significant shortening of the expressions for the traces of…
We provide bijective proofs of two classic identities that are very simple to prove using generating functions, but surprisingly difficult to prove combinatorially. The problem of finding a bijective proof for the first identity was first…
In a Hom-Malcev algebra an identity, equivalent to the Hom-Malcev identity, is found.
Sury's 2014 proof of an identity for Fibonacci and Lucas numbers (Identity 236 of Benjamin and Quinn's 2003 book: {\em Proofs that count: The art of combinatorial proof}) has excited a lot of comment. We give an alternate, telescoping,…
Recently, Andrews and EI Bachraoui obtained several iden tities on two-colored partitions. While solving open problems they posed, Chen and Zhou derived a number of identities using analytic methods and asked for combinatorial proofs. In…
This paper is concerned with developing some new identities of generalized Fibonacci numbers and generalized Pell numbers. A new class of generalized numbers is introduced for this purpose. The two well-known identities of Sury and Marques…
Partitions with distinct even parts have long been the subject of extensive research. In this paper, We present some new perspectives on such partitions from a combinatorial viewpoint, and connect them with signed partitions and bicolored…
We present what we call a "motivated proof" of the Bressoud-G\"ollnitz-Gordon partition identities. Similar "motivated proofs" have been given by Andrews and Baxter for the Rogers-Ramanujan identities and by Lepowsky and Zhu for Gordon's…
This purpose of this paper is to note an interesting identity derived from an integral in Gradshteyn and Ryzhik using techniques from George Boros'(deceased) Ph.D thesis. The idenity equates a sum to a product by evaluating an integral in…
Recently Zagier proved a remarkable q-series identity. We show that this identity can also be proved by modifying Franklin's classical proof of Euler's pentagonal number theorem.
Some generalized multi-sum Chu-Vandermonde identities are presented and proved, generalizing some known multi-sum Chu-Vandermonde identities from literature and adding some quadratic and cubic examples of these identities. Some other…
A. Lacasse conjectured a combinatorial identity in his study of learning theory. Various people found independent proofs. Here is another one that is based on the study of the tree function, with links to Lamberts $W$-function and…
We discuss an algebraic identity, due to Sylvester, as well as related algebraic identities and applications.
We present a generalization of the Newton-Girard identities, along with some applications. As an addendum, we collect many evaluations of symmetric polynomials to which these identities apply.
We provide combinatorial tools inspired by work of Warnaar to give combinatorial interpretations of the sum sides of the Andrews-Gordon and Bressoud identities. More precisely, we give an explicit weight- and length-preserving bijection…
From Carlitz's identity, we deduce two new $q$-supercongruences modulo the square of a cyclotomic polynomial, which were originally conjectured by Guo. These results establish new $q$-analogues of a supercongruence of Sun.
On the basis of the generalizations of the Jacobi identity found by the author some identities satisfied by the curvature and torsion of a covariant differentiation are derived. A kind of the generalized covariant differentiation is…
In his paper, "On a Partition Function of Richard Stanley," George Andrews proves a certain partition identity analytically and asks for a combinatorial proof. This paper provides the requested combinatorial proof.
