Abstract

On page 335 in his lost notebook, Ramanujan recorded without proofs two identities involving finite trigonometric sums and doubly infinite series of Bessel functions. In each case, there are three possible interpretations for the double series. In an earlier paper, two of the present authors proved the first identity under one possible interpretation. In the present paper, the second identity is proved under a similar interpretation, with one additional assumption. Moreover, under a second interpretation, entirely different proofs of both identities, depending on weighted (or twisted) divisor sums, are offered. The two identities are intimately connected with the classical circle and divisor problems, respectively.
