In this paper, we use some theta-function identities involving certain parameters to show how to evaluate Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction R($e^{-2{\pi}\sqrt{n}}$) and S($e^{-{\pi}\sqrt{n}}$) for $n=\frac{1}{5.4^m}$ and $\frac{1}{4^m}$, where m is any positive integer. We give some explicit evaluations of them.

In this paper, we use theta-function identities involving parameters 𝑙_5,n, 𝑙'_5,n, and 𝑙'_5,4n to evaluate the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fractions $R(e^{-2{\pi}{\sqrt{n/20}}})$ and $S(e^{-{\pi}{\sqrt{n/5}}})$ for some positive rational numbers n.

As an analogy of the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction, we define a Ramanujan continued fraction of order eighteen. There are essentially three Ramanujan continued fractions of order eighteen, and we study them using the theory of modular functions. First, we prove that they are modular functions and find the relations with the Ramanujan cubic continued fraction C(𝜏). We can then obtain that their values are algebraic numbers. Finally, we evaluate them at some imaginary quadratic quantities.

In this paper, we first discuss the convergence of the continued fractions of generalized Rogers-Ramanujan type in the modified sense. Then we prove several equalities concerning these continued fractions. The proofs of our main results are mainly based on the Bauer-Muir transformation.

Let k be an imaginary quadratic field, h the complex upper half plane, and let $\tau{\in}h{\cap}k$, $q=e^{{\pi}i\tau}$. We find a lot of algebraic properties derived from theta functions, and by using this we explore some new algebraic numbers from Rogers-Ramanujan continued fractions.

On page 366 of his lost notebook [15], Ramanujan recorded a cubic continued fraction and several theorems analogous to Rogers-Ramanujan's continued fractions. In this paper, we derive several general formulas for explicit evaluations of Ramanujan's cubic continued fraction, several reciprocity theorems, two formulas connecting V (q) and V ($q^3$) and also establish some explicit evaluations using the values of remarkable product of theta-function.

Let k be an imaginary quadratic field, ℌ the complex upper half plane, and let ${\tau}{\in}k{\cap}$ℌ, q = exp(${\pi}i{\tau}$). And let n, t be positive integers with $1{\leq}t{\leq}n-1$. Then $q^{{\frac{n}{12}}-{\frac{t}{2}}+{\frac{t^2}{2n}}}{\prod}^{\infty}_{m=1}(1-q^{nm-t})(1-q^{nm-(n-t)})$ is an algebraic number [10]. As a generalization of this result, we find several infinite series and products giving algebraic numbers using Ramanujan's $_{1{\psi}1}$ summation. These are also related to Rogers-Ramanujan continued fractions.

Combining and specializing some known results, we establish six identities which depict six modular relations for the Roger-Ramanujan type identities and two equivalent representations for Jacobian identity expressed in terms of combinatorial partition identities and Ramanujan-Selberg continued fraction. Two q-product identities are also considered.

We first derive several modular equations of degree 5 and present their concise proofs based on algebraic computations. We then establish explicit relations and formulas for some parameterizations for the theta functions ${\varphi}$ and ${\psi}$ by using the derived modular equations. In addition, we find specific values of the parameterizations and evaluate some numerical values of the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction.
