The progress of mathematics can be viewed as progress from the infinite to the finite. Gian-Carlo Rota 1983 Abstract We provide finite analogs of a pair of two-variable q-series identities from Ramanujan s lost notebook and a companion identity. 1 Introduction At the top of a page in the lost notebook 14 p. 33 cf. 6 p. 99 Entry Ramanujan recorded an identity equivalent to the following j 0 q2j2 zq q2 j q z q2 j q2 q2 2j zq3 q3 z q6 q q2 q2u. where we are employing the standard notation for rising q-factorials A qU. 1 A 1 Aq 1 Aq2 and A q n A qK Aqn q THE ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF COMBINATORICS 18 2 2011 P15 1 and A1 A2 Ar q w A1 qW -A2 q TO Ar q W- In a recent paper 11 we found a partner to that Ramanujan appears to have missed j 0 qj j 1 z q j q z q j i q q 2j 1 zq2 q z q3 q3 x q qA. Later on the same page of the lost notebook Ramanujan recorded 6 p. qj2 zq q2 j q z q2 j zq2 q2 z q4 q4 U-q q2 x j 0 q q2 j q4 q4 j q2 q2O. 103 Entry For further discussion of these three identities see 10 . Remark. Out of respect for Doron s ultra-finitist philosophy we deliberately refrain from stating conditions on q and z which imply analytic convergence of the infinite series and products in - . The preceding identities stand out among identities of Rogers-Ramanujan type because they are two-variable series-product identities. While Rogers-Ramanujan type identities admit two-variable generalizations most lose the .
