Some new modular equations and their applications

Ramanujan derived 23 beautiful eta-function identities, which are certain types of modular equations. We found more than 70 of certain types of modular equations by using Garvan’s Maple q-series package. In this paper, we prove some new modular equations which we found by employing the theory of modular form and we give some applications for them. © 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
