On Ramanujan's general theta function and a generalization of the Borweins' cubic theta functions

摘要

The Borwein brothers have introduced and studied three cubic theta functions. Many generalizations of these functions have been studied as well. In this paper, we introduce a new generalization of these functions and establish general formulas that are connecting our functions and Ramanujan's general theta function. Many identities found in the literature follow as a special case of our identities. We further derive general formulas for certain products of theta functions.
