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.

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].

We prove a general alternate circular summation formula of theta functions, which implies a great deal of theta-function identities. In particular, we recover several identities in Ramanujan's Notebook from this identity. We also obtain two formulaes for (q; q)2n?.

AbstractGenerating functions are used to derive formulas for the number of representations of a positive integer by each of the quadratic forms x12+x22+x32+2x42, x12+2x22+2x32+2x42, x12+x22+2x32+4x42 and x12+2x22+4x32+4x42. The formulas show that the number of representations by each form is always positive. Some of the analogous results involving sums of triangular numbers are also given.

Two pairs of inverse relations for elliptic theta functions are established with the method of Fourier series expansion, which allow us to recover many classical results in theta functions. Many nontrivial new theta function identities are discovered. Some curious trigonometric identities are derived.

We describe an mth order generalization of Jacobi's theta functions and use these functions to construct classes of theta function identities in multiple variables. These identities are equivalent to the Macdonald identities for the seven infinite families of irreducible affine root systems. They are also equivalent to some elliptic determinant evaluations proven recently by Rosengren and Schlosser.

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.
