Abstract

We study a generalization of the classical Pentagonal Number Theorem and its applications. We derive new identities for certain infinite series, recurrence relations and convolution sums for certain restricted partitions and divisor sums. We also derive new identities for Bell polynomials.

Keywords: integer partition, divisor sum, Bell polynomials, polygonal numbers, pentagonal number theorem.
