Abstract

Using a general q-series expansion, we derive some nontrivial q-formulas involving many infinite products. A multitude of Hecke-type series identities are derived. Some general formulas for sums of any number of squares are given. A new representation for the generating function for sums of three triangular numbers is derived, which is slightly different from that of Andrews, also implies the famous result of Gauss where every integer is the sum of three triangular numbers.
