Some q-Identities derived by the ordinary derivative operator

Combinatorics 2023-08-15 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate applications of the ordinary derivative operator, instead of the qq-derivative operator, to the theory of qq-series. As main results, many new summation and transformation formulas are established which are closely related to some well-known formulas such as the qq-binomial theorem, Ramanujan's 1ψ1{}_1\psi_1 formula, the quintuple product identity, Gasper's qq-Clausen product formula, and Rogers' 6ϕ5{}_6\phi_5 formula, etc. Among these results is a finite form of the Rogers-Ramanujan identity and a short way to Eisenstein's theorem on Lambert series.
