We provide partition-theoretic interpretation of two truncated identities of Gauss solving a problem by Guo and Zeng. We also reveal that these results, together with our previous truncation of Euler's pentagonal number theorem, are essentially corollaries of the Rogers-Fine identity. Finally we examine further positivity questions related to the partition function. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
