In 1998, Michael Hirschhorn discovered 5-dissections of the Rogers--Ramanujan continued fraction $R(q)$ and its reciprocal. In this paper, we obtain the 5-dissections for functions $R(q)R(q^2)^2$ and $R(q)^2/R(q^2)$, which are essentially…

Quite recently, the first author investigated vanishing coefficients of the arithmetic progressions in several $q$-series expansions. In this paper, we further study the signs of coefficients in two $q$-series expansions and establish some…

Let $R(q)$ denote the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction. Define $$ \frac{1}{R^5(q)}=\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}A(n)q^{n} \quad \text{and} \quad R^5(q)=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}B(n)q^{n}.$$ Baruah and Sarma recently posed…

In this paper, we investigate several infinite products with vanishing Taylor coefficients in arihmetic progressions. These infinite products are closely related to the Rogers--Ramanujan continued fraction. Moreover, a handful of new…

We study the behavior of the signs of the coefficients of certain infinite products involving the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction. For example, if $$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}A(n)q^{n}:=…

In this paper, we study the $5$-dissections of certain Ramanujan's theta functions, particularly $\psi(q)\psi(q^2), \varphi(-q)$ and $\varphi(-q)\varphi(-q^2)$, and derive an identity for $q(q;q)_{\infty}^6/(q^5;q^5)_{\infty}^6$ in terms of…

We deduce $q$-continued fractions $S_{1}(q)$, $S_{2}(q)$ and $S_{3}(q)$ of order fourteen, and continued fractions $V_{1}(q)$, $V_{2}(q)$ and $V_{3}(q)$ of order twenty-eight from a general continued fraction identity of Ramanujan. We…

We show that the series expansions of certain $q$-products have \textit{matching coefficients} with their reciprocals. Several of the results are associated to Ramanujan's continued fractions. For example, let $R(q)$ denote the…

We prove some new modular identities for the Rogers\textendash Ramanujan continued fraction. For example, if $R(q)$ denotes the Rogers\textendash Ramanujan continued fraction, then…

Relations involving the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fractions $R(q),$ $R(q^3 ),$ and $R(q^4)$ are used to find new generating functions and congruences modulo 5 and 25 for 3-core, 4-core, 4-regular, and colored partition functions.

In the present work, we established continued fractions of level eighteen, twenty six and thirty. Further, we obtained vanishing coefficients and many algebraic relations. To validate our result colored partitions are also obtained.

Let $f:\mathbb{N}\to\{0,\pm 1\}$, for $n \in \mathbb{N}$ let $\Pi[n]$ be the set of partitions of $n$, and for all partitions $\pi = (a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_k) \in \Pi[n]$ let \[ f(\pi) := f(a_1)f(a_2) \cdots f(a_k). \] With this we define the…

Ramanujan listed several q-series identities in his lost notebook. The most well known q-series identities are the Rogers-Ramanujan type identities which are first discovered by Rogers and then rediscovered by Ramanujan. In this paper, we…

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…

We use the method of generating functions to find the limit of a $q$-continued fraction, with 4 parameters, as a ratio of certain $q$-series. We then use this result to give new proofs of several known continued fraction identities,…

Andrews and Bressoud, Alladi and Gordon, and others, have proven, in a number of papers, that the coefficients in various arithmetic progressions in the series expansions of certain infinite $q$-products vanish. In the present paper it is…

Kanade and Russell conjectured several Rogers-Ramanujan-type partition identities, some of which are related to level $2$ characters of the affine Lie algebra $A_9^{(2)}$. Many of these conjectures have been proved by Bringmann,…

We observe that certain famous evaluations of the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction $R(q)$ are close to $2\pi-6$ and $(2\pi-6)/2\pi$, and that $2\pi-6$ can be expressed by a Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction in which $q$ is very nearly…

Let $q > 2$ be a prime number and define $\lambda_q := \left( \frac{\tau}{q} \right)$ where $\tau(n)$ is the number of divisors of $n$ and $\left( \frac{\cdot}{q} \right)$ is the Legendre symbol. When $\tau(n)$ is a quadratic residue modulo…

Partitions with initial repetitions were introduced by George Andrews. We consider a subclass of these partitions and find Legendre theorems associated with their respective partition functions. The results in turn provide partition…
