Abstract: Let $BbbZ$ and $Bbb{Z}^{+}$ be the set of integers and the set of positive integers, respectively. For $a,b,c,d,ninBbb{Z}^{+}$ let $t(a,b,c,d;n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by $ax(x+1)/2+by(y+1)/2+cz(z+1)/2+dw(w+1)/2$ $(x,y,z,winBbbZ)$. In this paper, by using Ramanujan's theta functions $varphi(q)$ and $psi(q)$ we present many formulas and conjectures on $t(a,b,c,d;n)$.
