Amdeberhan–Andrews–Ballantine coefficient identity for a double Lambert series

Let rr be a positive integer. The notation [qn]A(q)[q^n]A(q) denotes the coefficient of qnq^n in the series A(q)A(q). Amdeberhan–Andrews–Ballantine coefficient identity.

[q2r]m,n1q2mn(1+q2n1)(1q2m1)=[q2r]n1(n1)qn1+q2n1.[q^{2r}]\sum_{m,n\geq1}\frac{q^{2mn}}{(1+q^{2n-1})(1-q^{2m-1})}=[q^{2r}]\sum_{n\geq1}\frac{(n-1)q^n}{1+q^{2n-1}}.

The identity was proposed as one of two conjectures used in the study of generalized and double Lambert series, and as a route toward a conjecture of Andrews, Dixit, Schultz and Yee. The source states that it has since been proved by the first author and Tang.
