Hadamard products for generalized Rogers–Ramanujan series

The purpose of this paper is to derive product representations for generalizations of the Rogers–Ramanujan series. Special cases of the results presented here were first stated by Ramanujan in the “Lost Notebook” and proved by George Andrews. The analysis used in this paper is based upon the work of Andrews and the broad contributions made by Mourad Ismail and Walter Hayman. Each series considered is related to an extension of the Rogers–Ramanujan continued fraction and corresponds to an orthogonal polynomial sequence generalizing classical orthogonal sequences. Using Ramanujan's differential equations for Eisenstein series and corresponding analogues derived by V. Ramamani, the coefficients in the series representations of each zero are expressed in terms of certain Eisenstein series.
