In this note, we present several identities involving binomial coefficients and the two kind of Stirling numbers.

In this paper we obtain a new curious identity involving trigonometric functions. Namely, for any positive odd integer $n$ we prove that $$\sum_{k=1}^n(-1)^k(\cot kx)\sin k(n-k)x=\frac{1-n}2,$$ which is equivalent to the identity…

In Entry 16, Chapter 16 of his notebooks, Ramanujan himself gave a formula for the convergents of the famous Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction. We provide a similar formula for the convergents of a more general continued fraction, namely…

A conjectured relation between Ramanujan's asymptotic approximations to the exponential function and the exponential integral is established. The proof involves Stirling numbers, second-order Eulerian numbers, modifications of both of…

We report on findings of a variant of ${\texttt{IdentityFinder}}$ - a Maple program that was used by two of the authors to conjecture several new identities of Rogers-Ramanujan kind. In the present search, we modify the parametrization of…

We prove four new Rogers-Ramanujan-type identities for double series. They follow from the classical Rogers-Ramanujan identities using the constant term method and properties of Rogers-Szeg\H{o} polynomials.

Kanade and Russell conjectured several Rogers-Ramanujan-type partition identities, some of which are related to level $2$ characters of the affine Lie algebra $A_9^{(2)}$. Many of these conjectures have been proved by Bringmann,…

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 number of ways to tile an $n$-board (an $n\times1$ rectangular board) with $(\frac12,\frac12;1)$-, $(\frac12,\frac12;2)$-, and $(\frac12,\frac12;3)$-combs is $T_{n+2}^2$ where $T_n$ is the $n$th tribonacci number. A…

We derived $q$-continued fractions $X_i(q)$ of order thirty-four and continued fractions $Y_i(q)$ of order sixty-eight from a general continued fraction identity of Ramanujan, where $i=1,2,3,4,5,6,7$ and $8$. We established some…

We prove an identity for Hall--Littlewood symmetric functions labelled by the Lie algebra A_2. Through specialization this yields a simple proof of the A_2 Rogers--Ramanujan identities of Andrews, Schilling and the author.

We present several new families of Rogers-Ramanujan type identities related to the moduli 18 and 24. A few of the identities were found by either Ramanujan, Slater, or Dyson, but most are believed to be new. For one of these families, we…

We give new nested radical equations of similar kind to Ramanujan's questions to the Indian Mathematical Society 100 years ago. While many have since considered these from the perspectives of the Notebooks of Ramanujan and from the theory…

In the present work, we established continued fractions of level eighteen, twenty six and thirty. Further, we obtained vanishing coefficients and many algebraic relations. To validate our result colored partitions are also obtained.

We give a simple statistical proof of a binomial identity, by evaluating the Laplace transform of the maximum of n independent exponential random variables in two different ways. As a by product, we obtain a simple proof of an interesting…

We give three elementary proofs of a nice equality of definite integrals, which arises from the theory of bivariate hypergeometric functions, and has connections with irrationality proofs in number theory. We furthermore provide a…

We give a commutative algebra viewpoint on Andrews recursive formula for the partitions appearing in "Gordon's identities", which are a generalization of Rogers-Ramanujan identities. Using this approach and differential ideals we conjecture…

We consider two sequences $a(n)$ and $b(n)$, $1\leq n<\infty$, generated by Dirichlet series of the forms $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{a(n)}{\lambda_n^{s}}\qquad\text{and}\qquad \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{b(n)}{\mu_n^{s}},$$ satisfying a…

For any positive integers $s$ and $t$, let $Q_{t}^{s}(n)$ denotes the number of partitions of a positive integer $n$ into distinct parts such that no part is congruent to $s$ or $t-s$ modulo $t$. We prove some Ramanujan-type congruences for…

For any $m,n\in\mathbb{N}$ we first give new proofs for the following well known combinatorial identities \begin{equation*} S_n(m)=\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\binom{n}{k}\frac{(-1)^{k-1}}{k^m}=\sum\limits_{n\geq r_1\geq r_2\geq...\geq r_m\geq…
