This paper gives a short but reasonably comprehensive review of Ramanujan's {_1\psi_1} summation and its generalisations. It covers the history of Ramanujan's summation, simple applications to sums of squares and orthogonal polynomials,…

Recently Z.W.Sun found over hundred conjectured formulas for 1/pi. Many of them were proved by H.H.Chan, J.Wan andW.Zudilin (see [3], [8] in the paper). Here we show that several other formulas in [6] are simple transformations of known…

We prove that there is a correspondence between Ramanujan-type formulas for 1/\pi, and formulas for Dirichlet L-values. The same method also allows us to resolve certain values of the Epstein zeta function in terms of rapidly converging…

In this paper we prove some Ramanujan-type formulas for $1/\pi$ but without using the theory of modular forms. Instead we use the WZ-method created by H. Wilf and D. Zeilberger and find some hypergeometric functions in two variables which…

The hypergeometric formulae designed by Ramanujan more than a century ago for efficient approximation of $\pi$, Archimedes' constant, remain an attractive object of arithmetic study. In this note we discuss some $q$-analogues of…

In this paper we establish several results concerning the generalized Ramanujan primes. For $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and $k \in \mathbb{R}_{> 1}$ we give estimates for the $n$th $k$-Ramanujan prime which lead both to generalizations and to…

We make a summary of the different types of proofs adding some new ideas. In addition we conjecture some relations which could be necessary in "modular type proofs" (not still found) of the Ramanujan-like series for 1/\pi^2.

We present several supercongruences that may be viewed as $p$-adic analogues of Ramanujan-type series for $1/\pi$ and $1/\pi^2$, and prove three of these examples.

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…

First we give general formulas for proving real or complex Ramanujan series for $1/\pi$. Then, as an example, we apply them for providing complete proofs of the fastest series for $1/\pi$ due to Ramanujan using Russell and Weber modular…
