Abstract

Guillera has introduced remarkable series expansions for 1π2\frac{1}{\pi^2} of convergence rates 11024-\frac{1}{1024} and 14-\frac{1}{4} via the Wilf-Zeilberger method. Through an acceleration method based on Zeilberger's algorithm and related to Chu and Zhang's series accelerations based on Dougall's 5H5{}_{5}H_{5}-series, we introduce and prove three-parameter generalizations of Guillera's formulas. We apply our method to construct rational, hypergeometric series for 1π2\frac{1}{\pi^2} that are of the same convergence rates as Guillera's series and that have not previously been known.
