β¦ Synopsis
Let f (a, b) denote Ramanujan's theta series. In his Lost Notebook'', Ramanujan claimed that the circular'' summation of n th powers of f satisfies a factorization of the form f (a n , b n ) F n (a n b n ) where F n (q)=1+2nq (n&1)Γ2 + } } } . Moreover, he listed explicit closed formulas for F 2 , F 3 , F 4 , F 5 , and F 7 . Berndt and Son have asked for a similar expression for any other F n . Here we obtain such an expression for F 11 (q).

We examine the combinatorial significance of Ramanujan's famous summation. In particular, we prove bijectively a partition theoretic identity which implies the summation formula.
The subject called ''summation of series'' can be viewed in two different ways. From one point of view, it means numerical summation which involves acceleration of convergence, and from the other, it represents a variety of summation formulas which are considered important, but which are often not u
The problem to be studied goes back to a question of ErdΓΆs and KΓΆvari, concerning functions \(M(x), x \in R_{0}{ }^{+}\), which are positive and logarithmically convex in \(\ln x\). The question to find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a power series \[ N(x)=\sum c_{n} x^{n}
We prove that the power function of the likelihood ratio test for MANOVA attains its minimum when the rank of the location parameter matrix G decreases from s to 1. This provides a theoretical justification of a result that is known in the literature based only on numerical studies.
