$\pi$-Formulae from Dual Series of the Dougall Theorem

Number Theory 2021-03-16 v1

Abstract

By means of the extended Gould-Hsu inverse series relations, we find that the dual relation of Dougall's summation theorem for the well--poised 7F6_7F_6-series can be utilized to construct numerous interesting Ramanujan--like infinite series expressions for π±1\pi^{\pm1} and π±2\pi^{\pm2}, including an elegant formula of π2\pi^{-2} due to Guillera.
