An identity by Chaundy and Bullard writes 1/(1-x)^n (n=1,2,...) as a sum of two truncated binomial series. In a paper which appeared in 2008 in Indag. Math. the authors surveyed many aspects of this identity. In the present paper we discuss…
The identity by Chaundy and Bullard expresses $1$ as a sum of two truncated binomial series in one variable where the truncations depend on two different non-negative integers. We present basic and elliptic extensions of the…
We give two new proofs of the Chaundy-Bullard formula $$ (1-x)^{n+1} \sum_{k=0}^m {n+k\choose k} x^k +x^{m+1}\sum_{k=0}^n {m+k\choose k} (1-x)^k=1 $$ and we prove the "twin formula" $$ \frac{ (1-x)^{(n+1)}}{(n+1)!} \sum_{k=0}^m…
A generalization of the Chu-Vandermonde convolution is presented and proved with the integral representation method. This identity can be transformed into another identity, which has as special cases two known identities. Another identity…
Some ramifications of the identity of Chaundy and Bullard are presented. We discuss its homogeneous form and its relations to other identities, as well as extensions to more variables and more parameters.
In this paper we give combinatorial proofs of some well known identities and obtain some generalizations. We give a visual proof of a result of Chapman and Costas-Santos regarding the determinant of sum of matrices. Also we find a new…
In this paper, based on the WZ theory, a very succinct new proof, of an identity by Chaundy and Bullard, was given.
We show that a binomial identity arising in the context of the study of series expansions of $1/\pi$ can be seen as an incarnation of Whipples second theorem for hypergeometric series.
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…
Among the several proofs known for $\sum_{n=1}^\infty{1/n^2} = {\pi^2/6}$, the one by Beukers, Calabi, and Kolk involves the evaluation of $\,\int_0^1 {\int_0^1{1/(1-x^2 y^2) \, dx} \, dy}$. It starts by showing that this double integral is…
This paper describes a method to find a connection between combinatorial identities and hypergeometric series with a number of examples. Combinatorial identities can often be written as hypergeometric series with unit argument. In a number…
We establish two binomial coefficient--generalized harmonic sum identities using the partial fraction decomposition method. These identities are a key ingredient in the proofs of numerous supercongruences. In particular, in other works of…
Some generalized multi-sum Chu-Vandermonde identities are presented and proved, generalizing some known multi-sum Chu-Vandermonde identities from literature and adding some quadratic and cubic examples of these identities. Some other…
We study bounded and unbounded representations of the $*$-algebra $Q_{n,\lambda}(*)$ generated by $n$ idempotents whose sum equals $\lambda e$ ($\lambda\in{\mathbb C}$, $e$ is the identity).
For $\boldsymbol{\large {\lambda}} = (\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_d)$ with $\lambda_i > 0$, it is proved that \begin{equation*} \prod_{i=1}^d \frac{ 1}{(1- r x_i)^{\lambda_i}} = \frac{\Gamma(|\boldsymbol{\large {\lambda}}|)}{\prod_{i=1}^{d}…
Some applications of a result, which is proved recently, is considered. We first prove three determinantal identities concerning the binomial coefficient and Stirling numbers of the first and the second kind. We also easily obtain the…
We give a new proof of an old identity of Dixon (1865-1936) that uses tools from topological combinatorics. Dixon's identity is re-established by constructing an infinite family of non-pure simplicial complexes $\Delta(n)$, indexed by the…
We present a different proof of the following identity due to Munarini, which generalizes a curious binomial identity of Simons. \begin{align*} \sum_{k=0}^{n}\binom{\alpha}{n-k}\binom{\beta+k}{k}x^k…
The Menon-Sury's identity is as follows: \begin{equation*} \sum_{\substack{1 \leq a, b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_r \leq n\\\mathrm{gcd}(a,n)=1}} \mathrm{gcd}(a-1,b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_r,n)=\varphi(n) \sigma_r(n), \end{equation*} where $\varphi$ is…
The paper aims to generalize Clausen's identity to the square of any Gauss hypergeometric function. Accordingly, solutions of the related 3rd order linear differential equation are found in terms of certain bivariate series that can reduce…
