Abstract

In recent work, Folsom discussed character formulas for classical mock theta functions of Ramanujan. Here, we suggest representations for character formulas in terms of continued fraction identities or in more precise language, we can say an applications of continued fraction identities to character formulas. As a consequence, we obtain fourteen new results.

Keywords:
