Bilateral Bailey lemma and Rogers-Ramanujan identities (Q1012159)

The authors prove a bilateral Bailey lemma and apply it together with classical summation theorems for bilateral basic hypergeometric series to derive twenty-five transformation formulas (T1)--(T25) between unilateral and bilateral series. The transformations are used to establish and tabulate 200~identities of Rogers--Ramanujan type, that is, series expansions of infinite \(q\)-products, like \[ \frac{(q^3;q^3)_\infty^3}{(q;q)_\infty} =\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(q;q)_nq^{n(n+1)}}{(-q;q)_n(q;q^2)_{n+1}} \] (Entry \#2 in Table~1 from the paper).
