General WP-Bailey chains

Motivated by a recent paper of Liu and Ma, we describe a number of general WP-Bailey chains. We show that many of the existing WP-Bailey chains (or branches of the WP-Bailey tree), including chains found by Andrews, Warnaar and Liu and Ma, arise as special cases of these general WP-Bailey chains. We exhibit three new branches of the WP-Bailey tree, branches which also follow as special cases of these general WP-Bailey chains. Finally, we describe a number of new transformation formulae for basic hypergeometric series which arise as consequences of these new WP-Bailey chains.     

Some identities between basic hypergeometric series deriving from a new Bailey-type transformation

We prove a new Bailey-type transformation relating WP-Bailey pairs. We then use this transformation to derive a number of new 3- and 4-term transformation formulae between basic hypergeometric series.     

A $$$$ WP-Bailey lattice and its applications

In this paper, we establish a \(U(n+1)\) WP-Bailey lattice. By iterating this method, we obtain a \(U(n+1)\) transformation formula for \(U(n+1)\) WP-Bailey pairs. By considering the \(U(n+1)\) unit WP-Bailey pair, several new \(U(n+1)\) transformation formulas are given. In particular, we give a new \(U(n+1)\) Andrews–Gordon identity.     

The Cn WP-Bailey chain

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of C_n WP-Bailey pairs. The C_n WP-Bailey transform is obtained by applying the Cn 6φ5 summation formula. From this result, the Cn WP-Bailey lemma is deduced by making use of the Cn q-Dougall summation formula. Some applications are investigated. Finally, the case of elliptic Cn WP-Bailey pairs is discussed.     

Some new transformations for Bailey pairs and WP-Bailey pairs

We derive several new transformations relating WP-Bailey pairs. We also consider the corresponding transformations relating standard Bailey pairs, and as a consequence, derive some quite general expansions for products of theta functions which can also be expressed as certain types of Lambert series.     

Four families of summation formulas involving generalized harmonic numbers

In terms of Abel’s transformation on difference operators, we establish four families of summation formulas involving generalized harmonic numbers. They include several known and numerous new harmonic number identities as special cases.

与中心数相关的一类级数求和公式

This paper provides a pair of summation formulas for a kind of combinatorial series involvingak＋b m as a factor of the summand. The construction of formulas is based on a certain series transformation formula [2, 7, 9] and by making use of the C-numbers [3]. Various consequences and examples including several remarkable classic identities are presented to illustrate some applications of the formulas obtained.     

Series identities and associated families of generating functions

The authors investigate several families of double-series identities as well as their (known or new) consequences involving various hypergeometric functions in one and two variables. A number of associated generating-function relationships, involving certain classes of hypergeometric polynomials, are also considered.     

Enumerative properties of shifted-Dyck partitions

We study the enumerative properties of a new class of (skew) shifted partitions. This class arises in the computation of certain parabolic Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials and is closely related to ballot sequences. As consequences of our results, we obtain new identities for the parabolic Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials of Hermitian symmetric pairs and for the ordinary Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials of certain Weyl groups.     

Identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan-Bailey type

A multiparameter generalization of the Bailey pair is defined in such a way as to include as special cases all Bailey pairs considered by W.N. Bailey in his paper [Identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan type, Proc. London Math. Soc. (2) 50 (1949) 421-435]. This leads to the derivation of a number of elegant new Rogers-Ramanujan type identities.     

New identities involving generalized Fibonacci and generalized Lucas numbers

This paper presents two new identities involving generalized Fibonacci and generalized Lucas numbers. One of these identities generalize the two well-known identities of Sury and Marques which are recently developed. Some other interesting identities involving the famous numbers of Fibonacci, Lucas, Pell and Pell-Lucas numbers are also deduced as special cases of the two derived identities. Performing some mathematical operations on the introduced identities yield some other new identities involving generalized Fibonacci and generalized Lucas numbers.     

Inverse Relations and the Products of Bernoulli Polynomials

In this paper, we give two inverse pairs of identities involving products of the Bernoulli polynomials and the Bernoulli polynomials of the second kind.     

New hypergeometric transformations

The elementary manipulation of series is applied to obtain a quite general transformation involving hypergeometric functions. Hypergeometric identities not previously recorded in the literature are then deduced by means of Gauss's summation theorem and other hypergeometric summation theorems.     

Sister Celine's technique and its generalizations

Sister Celine Fasenmyer's technique for obtaining pure recurrence relations for hypergeometric polynomials is formalized and generalized in various directions. Applications include algorithms for verifying any given binomial coefficients identity and any identities involving sums and integrals of products of special functions. This is shown to lead to a new approach to the theory of special functions which allows a natural definition of special functions of several variables.     

A Bailey lattice

We exhibit a technique for generating new Bailey pairs which leads to deformations of classical -series identities, multiple series identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan type, identities involving partial theta functions, and a variety of representations for -series by number-theoretic objects such as weight 3/2 modular forms, ternary quadratic forms, and weighted binary quadratic forms.

     

Ramanujan-type partial theta identities and conjugate Bailey pairs

Residual identities of Ramanujan-type partial theta identities are tailor-made for producing conjugate Bailey pairs. This is carried out for partial theta identities in Ramanujan??s lost notebook, a number of the partial theta identities of Warnaar, and for some new ones as well.     

A general transformation for theta series associated with the quadratic form $$x^2+ky^2$$

Using elementary techniques, we prove a general transformation for theta series associated with the quadratic form \(x^2+ky^2.\) The transformation is then applied to establish several infinite families of identities involving theta series whose Fourier coefficients are interlinked.     

Bilinear Representations of Integrable Equations

We present a method for deriving recursion operators and canonical Lax pairs directly from bilinear identities of the KP type. Examples include the KdV equation, the Boussinesq equation, and a real equivalent of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.     

Some more identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan type

In this we paper we prove several new identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan-Slater type. These identities were found as the result of computer searches. The proofs involve a variety of techniques, including series-series identities, Bailey pairs, a theorem of Watson on basic hypergeometric series, generating functions and miscellaneous methods.
