In this paper, we use theta-function identities involving parameters 𝑙_5,n, 𝑙'_5,n, and 𝑙'_5,4n to evaluate the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fractions $R(e^{-2{\pi}{\sqrt{n/20}}})$ and $S(e^{-{\pi}{\sqrt{n/5}}})$ for some positive rational numbers n.

In this paper, we use some theta-function identities involving certain parameters to show how to evaluate Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction R($e^{-2{\pi}\sqrt{n}}$) and S($e^{-{\pi}\sqrt{n}}$) for $n=\frac{1}{5.4^m}$ and $\frac{1}{4^m}$, where m is any positive integer. We give some explicit evaluations of them.

Combining and specializing some known results, we establish six identities which depict six modular relations for the Roger-Ramanujan type identities and two equivalent representations for Jacobian identity expressed in terms of combinatorial partition identities and Ramanujan-Selberg continued fraction. Two q-product identities are also considered.

This article gives the foundations of the colored Jones polynomial for singular knots. We extend Masbum and Vogel's algorithm [26] to compute the colored Jones polynomial for any singular knot. We also introduce the tail of the colored Jones polynomial of singular knots and use its stability properties to prove a false theta function identity that goes back to Ramanujan.

Zagier introduced the term "strange identity" to describe an asymptotic relation between a certain q-hypergeometric series and a partial theta function at roots of unity. We show that behind Zagier's strange identity lies a statement about Bailey pairs. Using the iterative machinery of Bailey pairs then leads to many families of multisum strange identities, including Hikami's generalization of Zagier's identity.

Consider a p-variate $(p \geq 4)$ normal distribution with mean $\b{\theta}$ and identity covariance matrix. For estimating $\b{\theta}$ under a quadratic loss we investigate the behavior of risks of Stein-type estimators which shrink the usual estimator toward the mean of observations. By using concavity of the function appearing in the shrinkage factor together with new expectation identities for noncentral chi-squared random variables, a characterization of estimators with nondecreasing risk is obtained.
