Abstract

In this paper, we use some theta-function identities involving certain parameters to show how to evaluate Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction R(<TEX>$e^{-2{\pi}\sqrt{n}}$</TEX>) and S(<TEX>$e^{-{\pi}\sqrt{n}}$</TEX>) for <TEX>$n=\frac{1}{5.4^m}$</TEX> and <TEX>$\frac{1}{4^m}$</TEX>, where m is any positive integer. We give some explicit evaluations of them.
