A conjectured relation between Ramanujan's asymptotic approximations to the exponential function and the exponential integral is established. The proof involves Stirling numbers, second-order Eulerian numbers, modifications of both of…
The monotonicity properties of remainder of Stirling's formula for the gamma function are simply obtained by using the integral transforms with series.
Recently, Garthwaite-Penniston have shown that the coefficients of Ramanujan's mock theta function $\omega$ satisfy infinitely many congruences of Ramanujan-type. In this work we give the first explicit examples of congruences for…
We study Ramanujan's cubic continued fraction and explicit evaluations of theta-functions
In the paper, we present a monotonicity result of a function involving the gamma function and the logarithmic function, refine a double inequality for the gamma function, and improve some known results for bounding the gamma function.
By changing variables in a suitable way and using dominated convergence methods, this note gives a short proof of Stirling's formula and its refinement.
In 1730 James Stirling, building on the work of Abraham de Moivre, published what is known as Stirling's approximation of $n!$. He gave a good formula which is asymptotic to $n!$. Since then hundreds of papers have given alternative proofs…
In this paper, the authors present sharp approximations in terms of sine function and polynomials for the so-called Ramanujan constant (or the Ramanujan $R$-function) $R(a)$, by showing some monotonicity, concavity and convexity properties…
Two inequalities concerning the symmetry of the zeta-function and the Ramanujan $\tau$-function are improved through the use of some elementary considerations.
In this paper, we give some extensions for Ramanujan's circular summation formula with the mixed products of two Jacobi's theta functions. As some applications, we also obtain many interesting identities of Jacobi's theta functions.
We simplify the proof of some widely used theoretical theorems, extending their applicability, while correcting some erroneous results. We also generalize key results and present new results that contribute to the development of the theory.…
The Ramanujan sequence $ \{\theta_{n}\}_{n \geq 0}$, defined as $$ \theta_{0}= \frac{1}{2} \ , \ \ \ \theta_{n} = \left(\ \ \frac{e^{n}}{2} - \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} \frac{n^{k}}{k !} \ \ \right) \cdot \frac{n !}{n^{n}} \ , \ \ n \geq 1 \ ,$$ has…
These proceedings summarize a newly found connection between the factorial growth of coefficients in perturbative QCD and power corrections to the perturbation series, discussed in refs. [1-4]. The improved convergence is shown for three…
This paper has a two-fold purpose. First, by considering a reformulation of a deep theorem of G\"ollnitz, we obtain a new weighted partition identity involving the Rogers-Ramanujan partitions, namely, partitions into parts differing by at…
We establish a new multiplicity lemma for solutions of a differential system extending Ramanujan's classical differential relations. This result can be useful in the study of arithmetic properties of values of Riemann zeta function at odd…
In this paper, by using a general result on the monotonicity of quotients of power series, our aim is to prove some monotonicity and convexity results for the modified Struve functions. Moreover, as consequences of the above mentioned…
In this paper we consider the first four of the eight identities between the tenth order mock theta functions, found in Ramanujan's lost notebook. These were originally proved by Choi. Here we give an alternative (much shorter) proof.
We show that the complexity of minimal monotone circuits implementing a monotone version of the permutation operator on $n$ boolean vectors of length $q$ is $\Theta(qn\log n)$. In particular, we obtain an alternative way to prove the known…
We investigate Ramanujan congruences for the function which counts the overpartitions of n with restricted odd differences. In particular, we show that only one such congruence exists. Our method involves using the theory of modular forms…
