We give a new form of the quintuple product identity. As a direct application of this new form a simple proof of known identities of Ramanujan and also new identities for other well known continued fractions are given. We also give and prove a general identity for (q3m; q3m)?.

AbstractThe quintuple product identity has appeared many times in the literature. Indeed, no fewer than 12 proofs have been given. We establish a more general identity from which the quintuple product identity follows in two ways.

We give a simple proof of the well-known quintuple product identity. The strategy of our proof is similar to a proof of Jacobi (ascribed to him by Enneper) for the triple product identity.

We prove a general identity between power series and use this identity to give proofs of a number of identities proposed by M.D. Hirschhorn. We also use the identity to give proofs of a well-known result of Jacobi, the quintuple-product identity and Winquist's identity.

AbstractOne of Ramanujan's unpublished, unproven identities has excited considerable interest over the years. Indeed, no fewer than four proofs have appeared in the literature. The object of this note is to present yet another proof, simpler than the others, relying only on Jacobi's triple product identity.

AbstractA celebrated result, due to Jacobi, says that the number of representations of the positive integer n as a sum of four squares is equal to eight times the sum of the divisors of n which are not divisible by 4. We give a new and simple proof of this result which depends only on Jacobi's triple product identity.

It is well known that `Ramanujan's remarkable summation formula' unifies and generalizes the $q$-binomial theorem and the triple product identity and has numerous applications. In this note we will demonstrate how, after a suitable transformation of the series side, it can be looked upon as a $2$-parameter generalization of the quintuple product identity also.

New short and easy computer proofs of finite versions of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities and of similar type are given. These include a very short proof of the first Rogers-Ramanujan identity that was missed by computers, and a new proof of the well-known quintuple product identity by creative telescoping.
