Ramanujan's theta functions and linear combinations of four triangular numbers

Publication date: 26 November 2018

Abstract: Let

B b b Z

and

B b b Z^{+}

be the set of integers and the set of positive integers, respectively. For

a, b, c, d, n i n B b b Z^{+}

let

t (a, b, c, d; n)

be the number of representations of

n

by

a x (x + 1) / 2 + b y (y + 1) / 2 + c z (z + 1) / 2 + d w (w + 1) / 2

(x, y, z, w i n B b b Z)

. In this paper, by using Ramanujan's theta functions

v a r p h i (q)

and

p s i (q)

we present many formulas and conjectures on

t (a, b, c, d; n)

.
