Related papers: The Rogers--Ramanujan continued fraction
Arc spaces have been introduced in algebraic geometry as a tool to study singularities but they show strong connections with combinatorics as well. Exploiting these relations we obtain a new approach to the classical Rogers-Ramanujan…
The goal of this survey paper is to present, in chronological order, certain research works on continued fractions in power series fields over a finite field, all of them being derivated from some examples introduced thirty years ago by…
We give a brief review of the work of Ramanujan on cranks that is found in the Lost Notebook. Recent work by Bruce Berndt and his coauthors have brought to light many interesting results of Ramanujan on cranks, which we highlight in this…
We prove a theorem which add a new member to Rogers-Ramanujan identities. This new member counts partitions with different type of constraints on even and odd parts. Generalizing this theorem, we obtain two family of partition identities 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…
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…
We consider the limit periodic continued fractions of Stieltjes $$ \frac{1}{1-} \frac{g_1 z}{1-} \frac{g_2(1-g_1) z}{1-} \frac{g_3(1-g_2)z}{1-...,}, z\in \mathbb C, g_i\in(0,1), \lim\limits_{i\to \infty} g_i=1/2, \quad (1) $$ appearing as…
The paper consists of two parts. The aim of the first, and main, part is to explain, in an elementary way, Hasse's proof of Ramanujan-Nagell's Theorem. In the second part, we formulate some natural extensions of Ramanujan-Nagell's equation.
An identity by Ramanujan is expressed using polar coordinates, so that its proof reduces to the verification of an elementary trigonometric identity. This approach produces a few variations on Ramanujan's original identity.
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…
Recently, $4$-regular partitions into distinct parts are connected with a family of overpartitions. In this paper, we provide a uniform extension of two relations due to Andrews for the two types of partitions. Such an extension is made…
The connection between continued fractions and orthogonality which is familiar for $J$-fractions and $T$-fractions is extended to what we call $R$-fractions of type I and II. These continued fractions are associated with recurrence…
We study the behavior of the signs of the coefficients of certain infinite products involving the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction. For example, if $$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}A(n)q^{n}:=…
Andrews studied a function which appears in Ramanujan's identities. In Ramanujan's "Lost" Notebook, there are several formulas involving this function, but they are not as simple as the identities with other similar shape of functions.…
On page 206 in his lost notebook, Ramanujan recorded a seventh degree identity for his theta function $\varphi(q)$. We give an analogous ninth degree identity. We also provide an application of an entry from his second notebook on a cubic…
Let $R(q)$ denote the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction. Define $$ \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…
Basil Gordon, in the sixties, and George Andrews, in the seventies, generalized the Rogers-Ramanujan identities to higher moduli. These identities arise in many areas of mathematics and mathematical physics. One of these areas is…
We conjecture polynomial identities which imply Rogers--Ramanujan type identities for branching functions associated with the cosets $({\cal G}^{(1)})_{\ell-1}\otimes ({\cal G}^{(1)})_{1} / ({\cal G}^{(1)})_{\ell}$, with ${\cal…
What follows is a lightly edited version of the author's unpublished master's essay, submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts at the Pennsylvania State University, dated June 1994, written under…
Partitions without sequences of consecutive integers as parts have been studied recently by many authors, including Andrews, Holroyd, Liggett, and Romik, among others. Their results include a description of combinatorial properties,…
