Minimal excludant integer and bilateral truncated Jacobi triple product identity

Abstract

In 2012, Andrews and Merca proved a truncated theorem on Euler's pentagonal number theorem. Since then, a number of results on truncated theta series have been proved, including truncated Jacobi triple product identity. In this paper, we provide partition-theoretic interpretations for the bilateral truncated Jacobi triple product identity in terms of the minimal excludant integer.
