We show a connection formula between two different $q$-Airy functions. One is called the Ramanujan function which appears in Ramanujan's "Lost notebook". Another one is called the $q$-Airy function that obtained in the study of the second…
Ramanujan (1916) expressed quotients of certain q-series as polynomials of Eisenstein series of degree 2, 4, 6 and derived the famous Ramanujan's differential equations. We continue this research with the variants of Eisenstein-type series…
We discuss the nearest lambda_q--multiple continued fractions and their duals for lambda_q = 2 cos(pi/q) which are closely related to the Hecke triangle groups G_q, q=3,4,... . They have been introduced in the case q=3 by Hurwitz and for…
This is a translation of Euler's Latin paper "De fractionibus continuis observationes" into English. In this paper Euler describes his theory of continued fractions. He teaches, how to transform series into continued fractions, solves the…
In his second notebook, Ramanujan recorded total of 23 P-Q modular equations involving theta-functions $f(-q)$, $\varphi(q)$ and $\psi(q)$. In this paper, modular equations analogous to those recorded by Ramanujan are obtained involving…
In this paper, we answer a question of Li, Ngo, and Rhoades concerning a set of $q$-series related to the $q$-hypergeometric series $\sigma$ from Ramanajun's lost notebook. Our results parallel a theorem of Cohen which says that $\sigma$,…
Continued fractions whose elements are polynomial sequences have been carefully studied mostly in the cases where the degree of the numerator polynomial is less than or equal to two and the degree of the denominator polynomial is less than…
By employing the classical tools from the theory of $q$-series and theta functions, new fascinating identities on different continued fractions can be achieved. In this article, we use the product expansion of Jacobi's theta function to…
The Ramanujan Machine project predicts new continued fraction representations of numbers expressed by important mathematical constants. Generally, the value of a continued fraction is found by reducing it to a second order linear difference…
For integers $m \geq 2$, we study divergent continued fractions whose numerators and denominators in each of the $m$ arithmetic progressions modulo $m$ converge. Special cases give, among other things, an infinite sequence of divergence…
We generalize Watson's $ q $-analogue of Ramanujan's Entry 40 continued fraction by deriving solutions to a $ {}_{10} \phi_9 $ series contiguous relation and applying Pincherle's theorem. Watson's result is recovered as a special…
Ramanujan recorded five interesting q-series identities in a section that is not as systematically arranged as the other chapters of his second notebook. These five identities do not seem to have acquired enough attention. Recently, Dixit…
In this paper, we establish the irrationality of some open problems in mathematics based on using a recursive formula that generate the complete sequence of numbers. see [1] But before getting into that we begin with some Ramanujan notable…
We study the quotient of hypergeometric functions \begin{equation*} \mu_{a}^*(r)=\frac{\pi}{2\sin{(\pi a)}}\frac{F(a,1-a;1;1-r^3)}{F(a,1-a;1;r^3)} \quad (r\in(0,1)) \end{equation*} in the theory of Ramanujan's generalized modular equation…
Andrews, Dyson and Hickerson proved many interesting properties of coefficients for a Ramanujan's $q$-hypergeometric series by relating it to real quadratic field $\Q(\sqrt{6})$ and using the arithmetic of $\Q(\sqrt{6})$, hence solved a…
There exists a particular subset of algebraic power series over a finite field which, for different reasons, can be compared to the subset of quadratic real numbers. The continued fraction expansion for these elements, called…
In this article we give solution of the general quintic equation by means of the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction. More precisely we express a root of the quintic as a known algebraic function of the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction.
These lecture notes were written for a mini-course that was designed to introduce students and researchers to {\it $q$-series,} which are also called {\it basic hypergeometric series} because of the parameter $q$ that is used as a base in…
Motivated by the recent work of Park on the analogue of the Ramanujan's function $k(\tau)=r(\tau)r^2(2\tau)$ for the Ramanujan's cubic continued fraction, where $r(\tau)$ is the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction, we use the methods of Lee…
Continued fractions have a long history in number theory, especially in the area of Diophantine approximation. The aim of this expository paper is to survey the main results on the theory of $p$--adic continued fractions, i.e. continued…
