q-Engel Series Expansions and Slaters Identities

George E Andrews, Arnold Knopfmacher, Peter Paule, Helmut Prodinger

Abstract


We describe the q-Engel series expansion for Laurent series discovered by
John Knopfmacher and use this algorithm to shed new light on partition identities
related to two entries from Slater's list. In our study Al-Salam/Ismail and
Santos polynomials play a crucial role.
