Abstract

We provide partition-theoretic interpretation of two truncated identities of Gauss solving a problem by Guo and Zeng. We also reveal that these results, together with our previous truncation of Euler's pentagonal number theorem, are essentially corollaries of the Rogers–Fine identity. Finally we examine further positivity questions related to the partition function.
