We prove a number of new Rogers-Ramanujan type identities involving double, triple and quadruple sums. They were discovered after an extensive search using Maple. The main idea of proofs is to reduce them to some known identities in the…

In a 1916 paper, Ramanujan studied the additive convolution $S_{a, b}(n)$ of sum-of-divisors functions $\sigma_a(n)$ and $\sigma_b(n)$, and proved an asymptotic formula for it when $a$ and $b$ are positive odd integers. He also conjectured…

A new recursion in only one variable allows very simple verifications of Bressoud's polynomial identities, which lead to the Rogers-Ramanujan identities. This approach might be compared with an earlier approach due to Chapman. Applying the…

We use the method of tiling to give elementary combinatorial proofs of some celebrated $q$-series identities, such as Jacobi triple product identity, Rogers-Ramanujan identities, and some identities of Rogers. We give a tiling proof of the…

Let S_d be the symmetric group on d letters and let k be a field of characteristic p>2. Tensoring an irreducible S_d module with the sign representation defines an involution on the p-regular partitions of d. It is suprisingly difficult to…

Garrett, Ismail, and Stanton gave a general formula that contains the Rogers-Ramanjuan identities as special cases. We show how easy this is when using a determinant that Schur introduced in 1917.

In this we paper we prove several new identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan-Slater type. These identities were found as the result of computer searches. The proofs involve a variety of techniques, including series-series identities, Bailey…

A generalized Bailey pair, which contains several special cases considered by Bailey (\emph{Proc. London Math. Soc. (2)}, 50 (1949), 421--435), is derived and used to find a number of new Rogers-Ramanujan type identities. Consideration of…

Identifiability of evolutionary tree models has been a recent topic of discussion and some models have been shown to be non-identifiable. A coalescent-based rooted population tree model, originally proposed by Nielsen et al. 1998 [2], has…

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…

The Bailey lemma is a famous tool to prove Rogers-Ramanujan type identities. We use shifted versions of the Bailey lemma to derive $m$-versions of multisum Rogers-Ramanujan type identities. We also apply this method to the Well-Poised…

In this work, we start an investigation of asymmetric Rogers--Ramanujan type identities. The first object is the following unexpected relation $$\sum_{n\ge 0} \frac{(-1)^n q^{3\binom{n}{2}+4n}(q;q^3)_n}{(q^9;q^9)_n} =…
