For these and similar formulas see Lawden (1989, §1.4), Whittaker and Watson (1927, pp. 487–488), and Carlson (2011, §5).

Also, in further development along the lines of the notations of Neville (§20.1) and of Glaisher (§22.2), the identities (20.7.6)–(20.7.9) have been recast in a more symmetric manner with respect to suffices . The symmetry, applicable also to §§20.7(iii) and 20.7(vii), is obtained by modifying traditional theta functions in the manner recommended by Carlson (2011) and used for further purposes by Fukushima (2012).

§20.7(iv) Reduction Formulas for Products

Notes:: See Lawden (1989, pp. 17, 18) and Whittaker and Watson (1927, p. 477). The first equalities in (20.7.11) and (20.7.12) follow by translation of by $\tfrac{1}{2}\pi$ as in (20.2.11)–(20.2.14). The second equalities follow from (20.5.5)–(20.5.8) and the identity $\prod_{{n=1}}^{\infty}(1+q^{n})(1-q^{{2n-1}})=1$ (Walker (1996, p. 90)).
