A generalization of Newton's identity on symmetric functions is given. Using the generalized Newton identity we give a unified method to show the existence of Hall-Littlewood, Jack and Macdonald polynomials. We also give a simple proof of…
We adopt the "translation" as well as other techniques to express several identities conjectured by Z.-W. Sun in arXiv:1102.5649v47 by means of known formulas for $1/\pi$ involving Domb and other Ap\'ery-like sequences.
Unlike in the case of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, there is a paucity of literature dealing with summation identities involving the Padovan and Perrin numbers. In this paper, we derive various summation identities for these numbers,…
I revisit Bressoud's generalised Borwein conjecture. Making use of certain positivity-preserving transformations for q-binomial coefficients, I establish the truth of infinitely many new cases of the Bressoud conjecture. In addition, I…
In 2007 V. Zhuravlev discovered a family of identities concerning integer parts which are satisfied by the number $\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{2}$. Some of these identities turned out to be characterization properties of the number…
In this note, we provide a conceptual explanation of a well-known polynomial identity used in algebraic number theory.
Two new generalized Fibonacci number summation identities are stated and proved, and two other new generalized Fibonacci number summation identities are derived from these, of which two special cases are already known in literature.
Transformation formulas for four-parameter refinements of the q-trinomial coefficients are proven. The iterative nature of these transformations allows for the easy derivation of several infinite series of q-trinomial identities, and can be…
Given an arbitrary ordered pair of coprime integers (a,b) we obtain a pair of identities of the Rogers--Ramanujan type. These identities have the same product side as the (first) Andrews--Gordon identity for modulus 2ab\pm 1, but an…
In investigating the properties of a certain class of homogeneous polynomials, we discovered an identity satisfied by their coefficients which involves simple 2F1 Gauss hypergeometric functions. This result appears to be new and we supply a…
Sury's 2014 proof of an identity for Fibonacci and Lucas numbers (Identity 236 of Benjamin and Quinn's 2003 book: {\em Proofs that count: The art of combinatorial proof}) has excited a lot of comment. We give an alternate, telescoping,…
We consider a new identity involving integrals and sums of Bessel functions. The identity provides new ways to evaluate integrals of products of two Bessel functions. The identity is remarkably simple and powerful since the summand and…
This paper introduces a variation on an identity by Bruckman and Good. Using this identity, we are able to derive various well-known sums involving reciprocals of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, including the case when the indices form an…
We give a new proof of Chan's identity involving the cubic partition function and we also give a new identity for the cubic partition function which is analogues to the Zuckerman's identity for the ordinary partition function.
In this article, a short combinatorial proof of the Capelli's identity is given. It also leads to an easy proof of the Capelli--Cauchy--Binet identity, a more general form of Capelli's identity. With the technique introduced, the Turnbull's…
We first present some identities involving the Pochhammer symbol (rising factorial). We also recall and present some new properties of the Jacobi polynomials. We use them to expand a general hypergeometric function in an orthogonal series…
In this paper, we obtain formulas for the number of representations of positive integers as sums of arbitrarily many squares (and other polygonal numbers) with a certain natural weighting. The resulting weighted sums give Fourier…
In this manuscript we provide a new polynomial pattern. This pattern allows to find a polynomial expansion of the form \[x^{2m+1} = \sum_{k=1}^{x}\sum_{r=0}^{m} \mathbf{A}_{m,r} k^r (x-k)^r,\] where $x,m\in\mathbb{N}$ and $\mathbf{A}_{m,r}$…
We propose and prove a new polynomial identity that implies Schur's partition theorem. We give combinatorial interpretations of some of our expressions in the spirit of Kur\c{s}ung\"oz. We also present some related polynomial and $q$-series…
We survey combinatorial interpretations of some dozen identities for the double factorial such as, for instance, (2n-2)!! + Sum_{k=2}^{n} (2n-1)!!(2k-4)!!/(2k-1)!! = (2n-1)!!. Our methods are mostly bijective.
