SUMS OF PARTIAL THETA FUNCTIONS THROUGH AN EXTENDED BAILEY TRANSFORM
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 May 2020
Abstract
In this note, we evaluate sums of partial theta functions. Our main tool is an application of an extended version of the Bailey transform to an identity of Gasper and Rahman on $q$-hypergeometric series.
