Abstract
In this paper, we refine a result of Andrews and Merca on truncated pentagonal number series. Subsequently, we establish some positivity results involving Andrews–Gordon–Bressoud identities and d-regular partitions. In particular, we prove several conjectures of Merca and Krattenthaler–Merca–Radu on truncated pentagonal number series.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Combinatorial Theory publishes original mathematical research concerned with theoretical and physical aspects of the study of finite and discrete structures in all branches of science. Series A is concerned primarily with structures, designs, and applications of combinatorics and is a valuable tool for mathematicians and computer scientists.
