A q-rious positivity

open access: yes, 2010
The $q$-binomial coefficients $\qbinom{n}{m}=\prod_{i=1}^m(1-q^{n-m+i})/(1-q^i)$, for integers $0\le m\le n$, are known to be polynomials with non-negative integer coefficients.

An elementary proof of the irrationality of Tschakaloff series

open access: yes, 2005
We present a new proof of the irrationality of values of the series $T_q(z)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty z^nq^{-n(n-1)/2}$ in both qualitative and quantitative forms. The proof is based on a hypergeometric construction of rational approximations to $T_q(z)$.Comment:

On three theorems of Folsom, Ono and Rhoades

open access: yes, 2013
In his deathbed letter to Hardy, Ramanujan gave a vague definition of a mock modular function: at each root of unity its asymptotics matches the one of a modular form, though a choice of the modular function depends on the root of unity. Recently Folsom,

Ramanujan-type formulae for $1/\pi$: $q$-analogues

open access: yes, 2018
The hypergeometric formulae designed by Ramanujan more than a century ago for efficient approximation of $\pi$, Archimedes' constant, remain an attractive object of arithmetic study.

Fine‐scale reconstruction of pelagic fish migration by iso‐logging of eye lens

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 77-84, January 2026.
Abstract Understanding lifetime space use by pelagic animals is pivotal for ecology and fisheries management, but electronic tags are costly, labour‐intensive and rarely able to capture juvenile movement. We implemented an iso‐logging workflow that converts stable isotope chronologies in eye lenses into continuous migration tracks, and demonstrate its ...

Quantum Extensions of Widder’s Formula via q‐Deformed Calculus

open access: yesJournal of Applied Mathematics, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
In this study, we rigorously established q‐Widder’s formula of first and second kind by employing the q‐integral within a quantum calculus framework. Our approach introduces a novel formulation of the inverse q‐Laplace transform, enabling simplified computation without relying on conventional complex integration methods.

A simple proof of Bailey's very-well-poised 6-psi-6 summation

open access: yes, 2000
We give elementary derivations of some classical summation formulae for bilateral (basic) hypergeometric series. In particular, we apply Gauss' 2-F-1 summation and elementary series manipulations to give a simple proof of Dougall's 2-H-2 summation ...

Proofs of Some Conjectures of Chan on Appell-Lerch Sums

open access: yes, 2018
On page 3 of his lost notebook, Ramanujan defines the Appell-Lerch sum $$\phi(q):=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \dfrac{(-q;q)_{2n}q^{n+1}}{(q;q^2)_{n+1}^2},$$ which is connected to some of his sixth order mock theta functions. Let $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a(n)q^n:=\phi(q)$

Two problems of George Andrews on generating functions for partitions

open access: yes, 2012
. Based on Andrews’ recent work on parity in partitions, this paper will prove two partition identities proposed by Andrews (2010), simplify two generating functions into single sum expressions and extend two double series expansions of the first and ...
