In a recent paper by the authors, a bounded version of Goellnitz's (big) partition theorem was established. Here we show among other things how this theorem leads to nontrivial new polynomial analogues of certain fundamental identities of…
We define q-Catalan bases which are a generalization of the q-polynomials z^n(z,q)_n. The determination of their dual bases involves some q-power series termed dual coefficients. We show how these dual coefficients occur in the solution of…
We introduce a bilateral extension of the continuous $q$-ultraspherical polynomials which we call bilateral $q$-ultraspherical functions. These functions are given as specific bilateral basic hypergeometric ${}_2\psi_2$ series, they are…
Upon solving a finite discrete reduction of the difference Heun equation, we arrive at an elliptic generalization of the Racah polynomials. We exhibit the three-term recurrence relation and the orthogonality relations for these elliptic…
We evaluate some finite and infinite sums involving $q$-trigonometric and $q$-digamma functions. Upon letting $q$ approach $1$, one obtains corresponding sums for the classical trigonometric and the digamma functions. Our key argument is a…
In the present paper, we were mainly concerned with obtaining estimates for the general Taylor-Maclaurin coefficients for functions in a certain general subclass of analytic bi-univalent functions. For this purpose, we used the Faber…
We prove some identities, which involve the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. From them we derive some convergent asymptotic expansions related to the work by Cram\'er, and also new representations for some arithmetical…
We give a short proof of the Cauchy-Binet determinantal formula using multilinear algebra by first generalizing it to an identity {\em not} involving determinants. By extending the formula to abstract Hilbert spaces we obtain, as a…
We obtain new explicit formulas for the recurrence coefficients of the q-orthogonal polynomial sequences in a class that extends the q-Askey scheme. Our formulas express the recurrence coefficients in terms of four parameters that determine…
We begin by deriving a number of combinatorial identities satisfied by the $q$-super Catalan numbers. In particular, we extend some of the known combinatorial identities (Touchard, Koshy, Reed Dawson) to the $q$-super Catalan numbers. Next,…
We formulate and prove a general recurrence relation that applies to integrals involving orthogonal polynomials and similar functions. A special case are connection coefficients between two sets of orthonormal polynomials, another example…
The classical q-hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials are assembled into a hierarchy called the q-Askey scheme. At the top of the hierarchy, there are two closely related families, the Askey-Wilson and q-Racah polynomials. As it is well…
In this paper necessary and sufficient conditions are deduced for the close-to-convexity of some special combinations of Bessel functions of the first kind and their derivatives by using a result of Shah and Trimble about transcendental…
The aim of this paper is to present a general algebraic identity. Applying this identity, we provide several formulas involving the q-binomial coefficients and the q-harmonic numbers. We also recover some known identities including an…
In recent work, Hickerson and the author demonstrated that it is useful to think of Appell--Lerch sums as partial theta functions. This notion can be used to relate identities involving partial theta functions with identities involving…
We introduce a natural definition for sums of the form \[ \sum_{\nu=1}^x f(\nu) \] when the number of terms x is a rather arbitrary real or even complex number. The resulting theory includes the known interpolation of the factorial by the…
