    Certain results involving \(q\)-series and continued fractions (English)
    0 references
    The authors find a continued fraction expansion for the basic hypergeometric function \({}_3\Phi_2\) with some special relations between the parameters, and also an expansion for a ratio of products of \(q\)-gamma functions. If one takes \(q\to 1\), these formulas yield known identities found by Ramanujan [see entries 25 and 33 of Chapter XII, Vol. 2 of Ramanujan's `Notebooks' (1957; Zbl 0138.24201)].
