We provide the missing member of a family of four $q$-series identities related to the modulus 36, the other members having been found by Ramanujan and Slater. We examine combinatorial implications of the identities in this family, and of…

We establish two identities for Lambert series and double Lambert series, thereby resolving conjectures of Andrews, Dixit, Schultz and Yee (Acta Arith.~181:253--286, 2017), as well as Amdeberhan, Andrews and Ballantine (J Combin Theory…

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…

A conjecture connected with quantum physics led N. Katz to discover some amazing mixed character sum identities over a field of q elements, where q is a power of a prime p > 3. His proof required deep algebro-geometric techniques, and he…

The two partition functions $p_\omega(n)$ and $p_\nu(n)$ were introduced by Andrews, Dixit and Yee, which are related to the third order mock theta functions $\omega(q)$ and $\nu(q)$, respectively. Recently, Andrews and Yee analytically…

We present what we call a "motivated proof" of the G\"{o}llnitz-Gordon-Andrews identities. A similar motivated proof of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities was previously given by G. E. Andrews and R. J. Baxter, and was subsequently generalized…

Recently, Kim-Jang-Yi have introduced q-Bernstein polynomials. From these q-Berstein polynomials, we investigte some properties related to q-Stirling numbes and q-Bernoulli numbes.
