[math-fun] (further) generalized Lambert series with Theta-convergence
From the department of formulas that could possibly be found in some paper from 200 years ago.
Semi-recently I made the observation (and posted it here) that sum(n>=0, x*q^n/(1-x*q^n) can be computed as sum(n>=0, q^(n^2+n)*x^(n+1)*(1 - x*q^(2*n+1)) / ((1 - x*q^n)*(1 - q*q^n))) and this allows the fast computation of sums of inverse Fibs (and infinitely more sums of reciprocal order-two linrecs) without splitting into even and odd part (yes, RWG, AIM304 exists). After much effort I found that sum(n>=0, t^n / (1-x*q^n) ) can be computed as sum(n=0, S, (1-x*t*q^(2*n))*(x*t)^n*q^(n^2) / ( (1-x*q^n)*(1-t*q^n)) ) (which btw. is symmetric in x and t). Now this one turns out to be easily obtained by setting a := -b in Fine's "versatile" relation (14-1) (p.15 in "Basic Hypergeometric Series and Applications"). Anybody with one bit of interest in q-things: Buy this book, it's a marvel.
