On double sum generating functions in connection with some classical partition theorems

Abstract

We focus on writing closed forms of generating functions for the number of partitions with gap conditions as double sums starting from a combinatorial construction. Some examples of the sets of partitions with gap conditions to be discussed here are the set of Rogers--Ramanujan, G\"ollnitz--Gordon, and little G\"ollnitz partitions. This work also includes finding the finite analogs of the related generating functions and the discussion of some related series and polynomial identities. Additionally, we present a different construction and a double sum representation for the products similar to the ones that appear in the Rogers--Ramanujan identities.
