[ISSN 1077-8926] http://www.emis.de/journals/EJC/Volume 12/Abstracts/v12i1n3.html In this paper, starting from an identity of G. E. Andrews [Adv. Math. 41, 137-172 (1981; Zbl 0477.33001)] and using the q-exponential operator technique, the author derives , for 0 < |q| < 1, the following identity: ∞ X

Number of representations of an integer as a sum of a square and five times a square. (English) J. Indian Math. Soc., New Ser. 65, No.1-4, 249-251 (1998). [ISSN 0019-5839] Summary: In this note we obtain a formula for the number of representations of an integer n(≥ 1) in the form k 2 + 5m2 . Our results follow from Andrews’ generalization of the well-known Ramanujan’s 1 Ψ1 summation [Adv. Math. 41, 137-172 (1981; Zbl 0477.33001)].

0702.33009 Srivastava, Bhaskar Partial theta function expansions. (English) Tˆ ohoku Math. J., II. Ser. 42, No.1, 119-125 (1990). [ISSN 0040-8735] Among the many identities which George Andrews has discovered and proved from Ramanujan’s “Lost Notebook” are several which expand theta functions in terms of partial products of the same function. As an example, set θ(x; q) = (q 2 ; q 2 )∞ (xq; q 2 )∞ (x−1 q; q 2 )∞ , θN (x; q) = (q 2 ; q 2 )∞ (xq; q 2 )N (x−1 q; q 2 )N . Ramanujan stated and A. E. Andrews has proved [Adv. Math. 41, 137-172 and 173-185 (1981; Zbl 0477.33001 and Zbl 0477.33002)] that 2
