We provide a bijective map from the partitions enumerated by the series side of the Rogers-Selberg mod 7 identities onto partitions associated with a special case of Basil Gordon’s combinatorial generalization of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities. The implications of applying the same map to a special case of David Bressoud’s even modulus analog of Gordon’s theorem are also explored.

Garrett, Ismail, and Stanton gave a general formula that contains the Rogers{ Ramanujan identities as special cases. The theory of associated orthogonal polynomials is then used to explain determinants that Schur introduced in 1917 and show that the Rogers{Ramanujan identities imply the Garrett, Ismail, and Stanton seemingly more general formula. Using a result of Slater a continued fraction is...

New short and easy computer proofs of finite versions of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities and of similar type are given. These include a very short proof of the first Rogers-Ramanujan identity that was missed by computers, and a new proof of the well-known quintuple product identity by creative telescoping.
