The Q-Gauss Product, Q-Trigonometry Via Landen-Like Identities, And Positive Alternating Q-Series, Sarah Abo Touk Apr 2021

The Q-Gauss Product, Q-Trigonometry Via Landen-Like Identities, And Positive Alternating Q-Series, Sarah Abo Touk

Theses

The object of this report is q-series and their relationship with certain special functions. Firstly, Jackson’s q-analogue of the Euler gamma function is introduced and a q-analogue for a famous formula of Gauss on products of the gamma function will be presented. Secondly, Jacobi’s theta functions will be discussed in details and new Landenlike half argument formulas will be established. As an application, q-trigonometric formulas shall be derived and a new proof for a well-known q-series relation of Jacobi will be given. Thirdly, an extended Bailey transform will be presented and a variety of new q-series will be deduced as …


Sum Of Squares With Q-Series, Gosper’S Q- Trigonometry, An New Identities Via An Extended Bailey Transform, Zina Al Houchan Apr 2021

Sum Of Squares With Q-Series, Gosper’S Q- Trigonometry, An New Identities Via An Extended Bailey Transform, Zina Al Houchan

Theses

This report is concerned about q-series and some of their applications. Firstly, Jacobi’s q-series proof for Legendre’s theorem on sums of four squares will be presented. By way of comparison, the classical approach of this result will be also discussed. Secondly, Gosper’s q-trigonometry will be introduced using Jacobi’s theta functions and the theory of elliptic functions shall be employed to confirm one of Gosper’s conjectures. As an application, a proof for Fermat’s theorem on the sums of squares will be provided. Thirdly, an extended version of Bailey’s transform will be established and as a consequence, a variety of new q-series …


Q-Series With Applications To Binomial Coefficients, Integer Partitions And Sums Of Squares, Amna Abdul Baset Saif Saif Al Suwaidi Nov 2015

Q-Series With Applications To Binomial Coefficients, Integer Partitions And Sums Of Squares, Amna Abdul Baset Saif Saif Al Suwaidi

Theses

In this report we shall introduce q-series and we shall discuss some of their applications to the integer partitions, the sums of squares, and the binomial coefficients. We will present the basic theory of q-series including the most famous theorems and rules governing these objects such as the q-binomial theorem and the Jacobi’s triple identity. We shall present the q-binomial coefficients which roughly speaking connect the binomial coefficients to q-series, we will give the most important results on q-binomial coefficients, and we shall provide some of our new results on the divisibility of binomial coefficients. Moreover, we shall give some …
