Abstract

In this paper, we obtain analytical evaluations of the Ramanujan integral RC(m,n)=0xmcos(πnx)exp(2πx)1dx\textbf{R}_{C}(m,n)= \int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{x^m\,\cos(\pi nx)}{\exp{(2\pi\sqrt{x})-1}}dx subject to suitable convergence conditions in terms of an infinite series of Meijer GG-functions of one variable, by using Mellin-Barnes-type contour integral representations of the cosine function. %and Laplace transform method. We also consider some generalizations of the integral RC(m,n)\textbf{R}_{C}(m,n) given as the integrals IC(υ,b,c,λ,y)I_{C}^{*}(\upsilon,b,c,\lambda,y) ,ΞC(υ,b,c,λ,y)\Xi_{C}(\upsilon,b,c,\lambda,y), C(υ,b,c,λ,y)\nabla_{C}(\upsilon,b,c,\lambda,y) and IC(υ,b,λ,y)I_{C}(\upsilon,b,\lambda,y). These integrals are also expressed in terms of infinite series of Meijer GG-functions. Moreover, as an application of a Ramanujan's integral RC(m,n)\textbf{R}_C(m,n), the closed-form evaluations of nine infinite series of Meijer GG-functions are obtained.
