An algebraic transformation of the DeTemple-Wang half-integer approximation to the harmonic series produces the general formula and error estimate for the Ramanujan expansion for the nth harmonic number.
A simple integration by parts and telescopic cancellation leads to a rigorous derivation of the first 2 terms for the error in Ramanujan's asymptotic series for the nth partial sum of the harmonic series. Then Kummer's transformation gives…
In this paper we present experimental ways of evaluating Ramanujan`s quantities which as someone can see are related with algebraic numbers. The good thing with algebraic numbers is that can be found in a closed form, from there…
For two arithmetical functions $f$ and $g$, we study the convolution sum of the form $\sum_{n \le N} f(n) g(n+h)$ in the context of its asymptotic formula with explicit error terms. Here we introduce the concept of finite Ramanujan…
Harmonic numbers arise from the truncation of the harmonic series. The $n^\text{th}$ harmonic number is the sum of the reciprocals of each positive integer up to $n$. In addition to briefly introducing the properties of harmonic numbers, we…
We obtain the quadratic term in Euler's asymptotic expansion of the nth harmonic number by a simple modification of Young's elementary determination of the linear term.
In this paper, we establish the irrationality of some open problems in mathematics based on using a recursive formula that generate the complete sequence of numbers. see [1] But before getting into that we begin with some Ramanujan notable…
We suggest a continued fraction origin to Ramanujan's approximation to {(a-b)/(a+b)}^2 in terms of the arc length of an ellipse with semiaxes a and b. Moreover, we discuss the asymptotic accuracy of the approximation.
We show that the absolute convergence of a Ramanujan expansion does not guarantee the convergence of its real variable generalization, which is obtained by replacing the integer argument in the Ramanujan sums with a real number. We also…
Ramanujan derived the well known divergent-sum of integers in more than one way. We generalise the informal method to higher powers of the Riemann zeta function through a study of the Eulerian numbers in particular. Within the context of…
We have found several summation formulas that extend Ramanujan's psi sum. First contains a parameter $\alpha=1/N$, $N$ is a positive integer, and transforms to $q$-beta integral in the limit $N\to\infty$. The other is a $q$-analogue of…
Let $\Bbb Z$ and $\Bbb Z^+$ be the set of integers and the set of positive integers, respectively. For $a,b,c,d,n\in\Bbb Z^+$ let $t(a,b,c,d;n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by $ax(x+1)/2+by(y+1)/2+cz(z+1)/2+dw(w+1)/2$…
We study the shift-Ramanujan expansion (see 1705.07193) of general $f,g$ satisfying Ramanujan Conjecture, in order to get formulae, for their shifted convolution sum, say $C_{f,g}(N,a)$, of length $N$ and shift $a$ (so, the Ramanujan…
Several continued fraction expansions for $e$ have been produced by an automated conjecture generator (ACG) called \emph{The Ramanujan Machine}. Some of these were already known, some have recently been proved and some remain unproven.…
For a fixed nonnegative integer $u$ and positive integer $n$, we investigate the symmetric function \[\sum_{d|n} \left(c_d(\tfrac{n}{d})\right)^u p_d^{\tfrac{n}{d}},\] where $p_n$ denotes the $n$th power sum symmetric function, and $c_d(r)$…
It is a popular paradoxical exercise to show that the infinite sum of positive integer numbers is equal to -1/12, sometimes called the Ramanujan sum. Here we propose a qualitative approach, much like that of a physicist, to show how the…
In this article we give the theoretical background for generating Ramanujan type $1/\pi^{2\nu}$ formulas. As applications of our method we give a general construction of $1/\pi^4$ series and examples of $1/\pi^6$ series. We also study the…
Many authors have recently studied the degenerate harmonic numbers. This paper makes two main contributions. First, we derive several explicit expressions for these numbers, which are a degenerate version of the ordinary harmonic numbers.…
By applying the derivative operator to the known identities from hypergeometric series or WZ pairs, we obtain seven series associated with harmonic numbers. Specifically, six of them are Ramanujan-like formulas for $1/\pi$ and the remaining…
