By using Euler's approach of using Euclid's algorithm to expand a power series into a continued fraction, we show how to derive Ramanujan's $q$-continued fractions in a systematic manner.
The notion of 'bifurcating continued fractions' is introduced. Two coupled sequences of non-negative integers are obtained from an ordered pair of positive real numbers in a manner that generalizes the notion of continued fractions. These…
It is shown how many of the partial theta function identities in Ramanujan's lost notebook can be generalized to infinite families of such identities. Key in our construction is the Bailey lemma and a new generalization of the Jacobi triple…
We present proofs of two new families of sum-product identities arising from the cylindric partitions paradigm. Most of the presented expressions, the related sum-product identities, and the ingredients for the proofs were first conjectured…
We provide new proofs to five of Ramanujan's intriguing identities on false theta functions without using the Rogers-Fine identity and Bailey transforms.
We show, for each $q$-continued fraction $G(q)$ in a certain class of continued fractions, that there is an uncountable set of points on the unit circle at which $G(q)$ diverges in the general sense. This class includes the Rogers-Ramanujan…
In this paper, we first establish two new Bailey pairs via finding two generalizations of Euler's pentagonal number theorem. Next, we specificize the Bailey lemmas with these two Bailey pairs. As applications, we finally establish some…
We study the properties of a general continued fraction of Ramanujan. In some certain cases we evaluate it completely.
Using a specific form of the triple product identity, polygonal number identities are stated. Further number identities are examined that can be considered identities related to modular sets of numbers. The identities can be used to give…
For the partition function $p(n)$, Ramanujan proved the striking identities $$ P_5(q):=\sum_{n\geq 0} p(5n+4)q^n =5\prod_{n\geq 1} \frac{\left(q^5;q^5\right)_{\infty}^5}{(q;q)_{\infty}^6}, $$ $$ P_7(q):=\sum_{n\geq 0} p(7n+5)q^n…
In this paper, by applying a range of classic summation and transformation formulas for basic hypergeometric series, we obtain a three-term identity for partial theta functions. It extends the Andrews-Warnaar partial theta function…
We prove that the classical theta function $\theta_4$ may be expressed as $$ \theta_4(v,\tau) = \theta_4(0,\tau) \exp[- \sum_{p\geq 1} \sum_{k\geq 0} \frac {1}{p} \bigg(\frac {\sin \pi v}{(\sin (k+{1/2})\pi \tau)}\bigg)^{2p}].$$ We obtain…
Recently Gordon and McIntosh introduced the third order mock theta function $\xi(q)$ defined by $$ \xi(q)=1+2\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{q^{6n^2-6n+1}}{(q;q^6)_{n}(q^5;q^6)_{n}}. $$ Our goal in this paper is to study arithmetic properties of…
The Rogers-Ramanujan-Gordon identities generalize the classical partition identities discovered independently by L. J. Rogers and S. Ramanujan. In 2021, Afsharijoo provided a commutative algebra proof of the Rogers-Ramanujan-Gordon…
All the periodic points of a certain algebraic function related to the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction $r(\tau)$ are determined. They turn out to be $0, \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{5}}{2}$, and the conjugates over $\mathbb{Q}$ of the values…
In this paper, we investigate applications of the ordinary derivative operator, instead of the $q$-derivative operator, to the theory of $q$-series. As main results, many new summation and transformation formulas are established which are…
The Rogers-Ramanujan identity for $\!\!\phantom{|}_1\psi_1$ $$ \sum_{n\in\mathbb{Z}} \frac{(a;q)_n}{(b;q)_n} z^n\;=\; \frac{(q,b/a,az,q/az;q)_\infty}{(b,q/a,z,b/az;q)_\infty} $$ can be classified as one related to the Bethe Ansatz for…
$q$-deformed real numbers are power series with integer coefficients. We study Stieltjes and Jacobi type continued fraction expansions of $q$-deformed real numbers and find many new examples of such continued fractions. We also investigate…
Using new $q$-functions recently introduced by Hatayama et al. and by (two of) the authors, we obtain an A_2 version of the classical Bailey lemma. We apply our result, which is distinct from the A_2 Bailey lemma of Milne and Lilly, to…
We prove a pair of (mod 10) partition identities. The sum sides involve three-colored partitions into distinct parts, while the product sides are the generating functions for distinct partitions times the Rogers-Ramanujan products. Our…
