A Reciprocity Relation For Wp-Bailey Pairs, James Mclaughlin, Peter Zimmer Jan 2012

A Reciprocity Relation For Wp-Bailey Pairs, James Mclaughlin, Peter Zimmer

Mathematics Faculty Publications

We derive a new general transformation for WP-Bailey pairs by considering the a certain limiting case of a WP-Bailey chain previously found by the authors, and examine several consequences of this new transformation. These consequences include new summation formulae involving WP-Bailey pairs. Other consequences include new proofs of some classical identities due to Jacobi, Ramanujan and others, and indeed extend these identities to identities involving particular specializations of arbitrary WP-Bailey pairs.


A Hardy-Ramanujan-Rademacher-Type Formula For (R,S)-Regular Partitions, James Mclaughlin, Scott Parsell Jan 2012

A Hardy-Ramanujan-Rademacher-Type Formula For (R,S)-Regular Partitions, James Mclaughlin, Scott Parsell

Mathematics Faculty Publications

Let pr,s(n) denote the number of partitions of a positive integer n into parts containing no multiples of r or s, where r > 1 and s > 1 are square-free, relatively prime integers. We use classical methods to derive a Hardy-Ramanujan-Rademacher-type infinite series for pr,s(n).


On A Pair Of Identities From Ramanujan's Lost Notebook, James Mclaughlin, Andrew Sills Jan 2012

On A Pair Of Identities From Ramanujan's Lost Notebook, James Mclaughlin, Andrew Sills

Mathematics Faculty Publications

Using a pair of two variable series-product identities recorded by Ramanujan in the lost notebook as inspiration, we find some new identities of similar type. Each identity immediately implies an infinite family of Rogers-Ramanujan type identities, some of which are well-known identities from the literature. We also use these identities to derive some general identities for integer partitions.
