Lifting Bailey Pairs To Wp-Bailey Pairs, James Mclaughlin, Andrew Sills, Peter Zimmer Aug 2009

Lifting Bailey Pairs To Wp-Bailey Pairs, James Mclaughlin, Andrew Sills, Peter Zimmer

Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications

A pair of sequences (αn(a,k,q),βn(a,k,q)) such that α0(a,k,q)=1 and βn(a,k,q)=∑nj=0 (k/a;q)n−j (k;q)n+j / (q;q)n−j (aq;q)n+j αj (a,k,q) is termed a WP-Bailey Pair. Upon setting k=0 in such a pair we obtain a Bailey pair.

In the present paper we consider the problem of “lifting” a Bailey pair to a WP-Bailey pair, and use some …


Rogers-Ramanujan Computer Searches, James Mclaughlin, Andrew Sills, Peter Zimmer Aug 2009

Rogers-Ramanujan Computer Searches, James Mclaughlin, Andrew Sills, Peter Zimmer

Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications

We describe three computer searches (in PARI/GP, Maple, and Mathematica, respectively) which led to the discovery of a number of identities of Rogers–Ramanujan type and identities of false theta functions.
