In this article we present evaluations of continued fractions studied by Ramanujan. More precisely we give the complete polynomial equations of Rogers-Ramanujan and other continued fractions, using tools from the elementary theory of the…
We generalize Ramanujan's expansions of the fractional-power Euler functions (q^{1/5})_{\infty} = [ J_1 - q^{1/5} + q^{2/5} J_2 ](q^5)_{\infty} and (q^{1/7})_{\infty} = [ J_1 + q^{1/7} J_2 - q^{2/7} + q^{5/7} J_3 ] (q^7)_{\infty} to…
In this series of seven papers, predominantly by means of elementary analysis, we establish a number of identities related to the Riemann zeta function. Whilst this paper is mainly expository, some of the formulae reported in it are…
Within the Ramanujan theories of elliptic functions, Li-Chien Shen constructed natural elliptic functions in signature three and signature four. When applied in signature six, the same constructions produce non-elliptic functions that…
Re presenting the traditional proof of Srinivasa Ramanujan's own favorite series for the reciprocal of $\pi$ :\begin{equation}\frac{1}{\pi} = \frac{\sqrt{8}}{9801} \sum_{n=0}^{+\infty} \frac{(4n)!}{(n!)^4} \frac{1103 + 26390n}{396^{4n}} \;…
A new transformation involving the error function $\textup{erf}(z)$, the imaginary error function $\textup{erfi}(z)$, and an integral analogue of a partial theta function is given along with its character analogues. Another complementary…
Using properties of Appell-Lerch functions, we give insightful proofs for six of Ramanujan's identities for the tenth-order mock theta functions.
The two Rogers-Ramanujan $q$-series \[ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{q^{n(n+\sigma)}}{(1-q)\cdots (1-q^n)}, \] where $\sigma=0,1$, play many roles in mathematics and physics. By the Rogers-Ramanujan identities, they are essentially modular…
A Ramanujan-type series satisfies $$ \frac{1}{\pi} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)_{n} \left( \frac{1}{s} \right)_{n} \left(1 - \frac{1}{s} \right)_{n} }{ \left( 1 \right)_{n}^{3} } z^{n} (a + b n), $$ where $s \in \{…
We investigate the large $n$ asymptotics of the $n$-th eigenvalue for a class of unbounded self-adjoint operators defined by infinite Jacobi matrices with discrete spectrum. In the case of the quantum Rabi model we obtain the first three…
We investigate the question of when an eta quotient is a derivative of a formal power series with integer coefficients and present an analysis in the case of level 10. As a consequence, we establish and classify an infinite number of…
We demonstrate that quotients of septic theta functions appearing in S. Ramanujan's Notebooks and in F. Klein's work satisfy a new coupled system of nonlinear differential equations with interesting symmetric form. This differential system…
In 2015 Cristian-Silviu Radu designed an algorithm to detect identities of a class studied by Ramanujan and Kolberg. This class includes the famous identities by Ramanujan which provide a witness to the divisibility properties of $p(5n+4),$…
Properties of the Jacobi Theta3-function and its derivatives under discrete Fourier transforms are investigated, and several interesting results are obtained. The role of modulo N equivalence classes in the theory of Theta-functions is…
We prove new properties of the zero set of Ramanujan's partial theta function $\theta (q,x):=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}x^j$, $q\in (-1,0)\cup (0,1)$, $x\in \mathbb{R}$. We show that for each $q\in (0,1)$, there exists a line Re$x=-a$,…
In this survey article, we present an expanded version of Lucy Slater's famous list of identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan type, including identities of similar type, which were discovered after the publication of Slater's papers, and older…
In Ramanujan's Lost Notebook there is an amazing identity that furnishes infinitely many "almost counterexamples" to the cubic Fermat's Last Theorem, with no indication whatsoever how he discovered it. In 1995, Michael Hirschhorn explained,…
Assume that the generalized Ramanujan conjecture holds on the automorphic $L$-function $L(s, \pi)$ on $\GL_d$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ with $d\geq 3$, we can obtain a small log-saving non-trivial bound on the second integral moment of $L(1/2+it,…
