Abstract
In this paper, we use some theta-function identities involving certain parameters to show how to evaluate Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction R($e^{-2{\pi}\sqrt{n}}$) and S($e^{-{\pi}\sqrt{n}}$) for $n=\frac{1}{5.4^m}$ and $\frac{1}{4^m}$, where m is any positive integer. We give some explicit evaluations of them.
