Abstract
Motivated by recent work of George Andrews and Mircea Merca [J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 119 (2012), pp. 1639–1643] on the expansion of the quotient of the truncation of Euler’s pentagonal number series by the complete series, we provide similar expansion results for averages involving truncations of selected, more general, basic hypergeometric series. In particular, our expansions include new results for averaged truncations of the series appearing in the Jacobi triple product identity, the q q -Gauß summation, and the very-well-poised 5 ϕ 5 {}_5\phi _5 summation. We show how special cases of our expansions can be used to recover various existing results. In addition, we establish new inequalities, such as one for a refinement of the number of partitions into three different colors.
