Two Finite Forms of Watson's Quintuple Product Identity and Matrix Inversion
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently, Chen-Chu-Gu [4] and Guo-Zeng [6] found independently that Watson’s quintuple product identity follows surprisingly from two basic algebraic identities, called finite forms of Watson’s quintuple product identity. The present paper shows that both identities are equivalent to two special cases of the q-Chu-Vandermonde formula by using the (f, g)-inversion.

Short Proofs of Summation and Transformation Formulas for Basic Hypergeometric Series
We show that several terminating summation and transformation formulas for basic hypergeometric series can be proved in a straigntforward way. Along the same line, new finite forms of Jacobi’s triple product identity and Watson’s quintuple product identity are also proved.
متن کاملFinite form of the quintuple product identity
where the q-shifted factorial is defined by (x; q)0 = 1 and (x; q)n = (1− x)(1 − qx) · · · (1− q x) for n = 1, 2, · · · with the following abbreviated multiple parameter notation [α, β, · · · , γ; q]∞ = (α; q)∞(β; q)∞ · · · (γ; q)∞. This identity has several important applications in combinatorial analysis, number theory and special functions. For the historical note, we refer the reader to the...
متن کاملAnother simple proof of the quintuple product identity
The quintuple identity has a long history and, as Berndt [5] points out, it is difficult to assign priority to it. It seems that a proof of the identity was first published in H. A. Schwartz’s book in 1893 [19]. Watson gave a proof in 1929 in his work on the RogersRamanujan continued fractions [20]. Since then, various proofs have appeared. To name a few, Carlitz and Subbarao gave a simple proo...
متن کاملUnification of the Quintuple and Septuple Product Identities
By combining the functional equation method with Jacobi’s triple product identity, we establish a general equation with five free parameters on the modified Jacobi theta function, which can be considered as the common generalization of the quintuple, sextuple and septuple product identities. Several known theta function formulae and new identities are proved consequently.
متن کاملShort and Easy Computer Proofs of the Rogers-Ramanujan Identities and of Identities of Similar Type
New short and easy computer proofs of finite versions of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities and of similar type are given. These include a very short proof of the first Rogers-Ramanujan identity that was missed by computers, and a new proof of the well-known quintuple product identity by creative telescoping.
