On a formula of the $q$-series $_{2k+4}φ_{2k+3}$ and its applications

George E. Andrews, Mohamed El Bachraoui

Abstract

In this paper we apply a formula of the very-well poised $_{2k+4}φ_{2k+3}$ to write a $k$-tuple sum of $q$-series as a linear combination of terms wherein each term is a product of expressions of the form $\frac{1}{(qy, qy^{-1};q)_\infty}$. As an application, we shall express a variety of sums and double sums of $q$-series as linear combinations of infinite products. Our formulas are motivated by their connection to overpartition pairs.

Abstract

In this paper we apply a formula of the very-well poised to write a -tuple sum of -series as a linear combination of terms wherein each term is a product of expressions of the form . As an application, we shall express a variety of sums and double sums of -series as linear combinations of infinite products. Our formulas are motivated by their connection to overpartition pairs.
