摘要：
We give a new proof of Ramanujan’s modular identity relating R(q) with R(q5), where R(q) is the famous Rogers–Ramanujan continued fraction. Our formulation is stronger than those of preceding authors; in particular, we give for the first time identities for the expressions appearing in the numerator and the denominator of Ramanujan’s identity. A related identity for R(q) that has partition-theoretic connections is also proved.
