Formulas are proved for the number of representations of a positive integer by each of the four quaternary quadratic forms x2+y2+2z2+3t2, x2+2y2+2z2+6t2, x2+3y2+3z2+6t2 and 2x2+3y2+6z2+6t2. As a consequence of these formulas, each of the four series [Formula: see text] is determined in terms of Ramanujan's theta function.

We find some new explicit values of the parameter hk,n for positive real numbers k and n involving Ramanujan's theta-function ϕ(q) and give some applications of these new values for the explicit evaluations of Ramanujan's continued fractions. In the process, we also establish two new identities for ϕ(q) by using modular equations.

In this paper, several explicit formulas for the number of representations of a positive integer by sums of mixed numbers are determined by employing theta function identities and the [Formula: see text]-parametrization of theta functions due to Alaca, Alaca and Williams. It is interesting that the formulas proved in this paper are linear combinations of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].

For positive integers [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] denote the number of representations of a nonnegative integer [Formula: see text] as [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are nonnegative integers, and let [Formula: see text] denote the number of representations of [Formula: see text] as [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are integers. Recently, Sun proved a number of relations between [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] along with numerous conjectures on such relations. In this work, we confirm several conjectures of Sun by using Ramanujan’s theta function identities.

Let cN(n) denote the number of bipartitions (λ,μ) of a positive integer n subject to the restriction that each part of μ is divisible by N. In this paper, we prove some congruence properties of the function cN(n) for N=7, 11, and 5l, for any integer l≥1, by employing Ramanujan’s theta-function identities.

In this paper, using the (p, k)-parametrization of theta functions given by Alaca, Alaca and Williams, we establish some theta function identities. Explicit formulas are obtained for the number of representations of a positive integer n by the quadratic forms [Formula: see text] with a ≠ 0, a + b + c = 4 and [Formula: see text] with k + l = 2 and r + s + t = 2 by employing these identities.

This paper provides a survey of particular values of Ramanujan's theta function $\varphi(q)=\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}q^{n^2}$, when $q=e^{-\pi\sqrt{n}}$, where $n$ is a positive rational number. First, descriptions of the tools used to evaluate theta functions are given. Second, classical values are briefly discussed. Third, certain values due to Ramanujan and later authors are given. Fourth, the methods that are used to determine these values are described. Lastly, an incomplete evaluation found in Ramanujan's lost notebook, but now completed and proved, is discussed with a sketch of its proof.
