A heuristic guide to evaluating triple-sumsArticle

Authors: Eric Mortenson ORCID1

Using a heuristic that relates Appell-Lerch functions to divergent partial theta functions one can expand Hecke-type double-sums in terms of Appell-Lerch functions. We give examples where the heuristic can be used as a guide to evaluate analogous triple-sums in terms of Appell-Lerch functions or false theta functions.
