Abstract

Through an application of a remarkable result due to Mishev in 2018 concerning the inverses for a class of transformations of sequences of complex numbers, we obtain a very simple proof for a famous series for 1π\frac{1}{\pi} due to Ramanujan. We then apply Mishev's transform to provide proofs for a number of related hypergeometric identities, including a new and simplified proof for a family of series for 1π\frac{1}{\pi} previously obtained by Levrie via Fourier--Legendre theory. We generalize this result using Mishev's transform, so as to extend a result due to Guillera on a Ramanujan-like series involving cubed binomial coefficients and harmonic numbers.
