Modular equations for Ramanujan's cubic continued fraction (Q1604241)

Let \[ \psi(q) =\sum_{n=0}^\infty q^{n(n+1)/2} \] and \[ G(q) = {\dfrac{q^{1/3}}{1}} + {\dfrac{q+q^2}{1}} + {\dfrac{q^2+q^4}{1}} + {\dfrac{q^3+q^6}{1}} + \cdots ,\qquad |q|<1. \] In this paper, the author establishes the relations between \(G(q)\) and \(G(q^k)\) for \(k=5\) and \(7\). These identities are obtained using modular equations satisfied by \[ \frac{\psi(q)}{q^{1/4}\psi(q^3)}\quad\text{and}\quad \frac{\psi(q^k)}{q^{k/4}\psi(q^{3k})},\qquad k=5 \text{ and } 7, \] and the identity \[ 1+\frac{1}{G^3(q)} =\frac{\psi^4(q)}{q\psi^4(q^3)}. \]
