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.
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…
With the help of the partial derivative operator and several summation formulas for hypergeometric series, we find three double series for $\pi$. In terms of the operator just stated and several summation formulas for basic hypergeometric…
We establish some new bilateral double-sum Rogers-Ramanujan identities involving parameters. As applications, these identities yield several new multi-sum Rogers-Ramanujan type identities. Our proofs utilize the theory of basic…
We prove a kind of bilateral semi-terminating series related to Ramanujan-like series for negative powers of $\pi$, and conjecture a type of supercongruences associated to them. We support this conjecture by checking all the cases for many…
Motivated by work of Chan, Chan, and Liu, we obtain a new general theorem which produces Ramanujan-Sato series for $1/\pi$. We then use it to construct explicit examples related to non-compact arithmetic triangle groups, as classified by…
A doubly infinite set of series expansion for $1/\pi$ are reported. They follow trivially from a formal expansion for the quotient of the values taken by the gamma function for two (complex) arguments differing by an integer plus one half,…
Recently, the authors with Lea Beneish established a recipe for constructing Ramanujan-Sato series for $1/\pi$, and used this to construct 11 explicit examples of Ramanujan-Sato series arising from modular forms for arithmetic triangle…
Re presenting the traditional proof of Srinivasa Ramanujan's own favorite series for the reciprocal of $\pi$ :\begin{equation}\frac{1}{\pi} = \frac{\sqrt{8}}{9801} \sum_{n=0}^{+\infty} \frac{(4n)!}{(n!)^4} \frac{1103 + 26390n}{396^{4n}} \;…
In this article, we derive some identities for multilateral basic hypergeometric series associated to the root system A_n. First, we apply Ismail's argument to an A_n q-binomial theorem of Milne and derive a new A_n generalization of…
We study in detail the Ramanujan smooth expansions, for arithmetic functions; we start with the most general ones, for which we supply the "$P-$local expansions", for arguments with all prime-factors $p\le P$ (namely, $P-$smooth arguments),…
We derive two general transformations for certain basic hypergeometric series from the recurrence formulae for the partial numerators and denominators of two $q$-continued fractions previously investigated by the authors. By then…
For two arithmetical functions $f$ and $g$ with absolutely convergent Ramanujan expansions, Murty and Saha have recently derived asymptotic formulas with error term for the convolution sum $\sum_{n \le N} f(n) g(n+h)$ under some suitable…
We show that a binomial identity arising in the context of the study of series expansions of $1/\pi$ can be seen as an incarnation of Whipples second theorem for hypergeometric series.
Recent work by Pain [1] proposed a systematic approach to evaluating binomial sums involving reciprocals of binomial coefficients via Beta integrals. In particular, a parametric extension (Proposition 6.1) was introduced and claimed to…
Several methods are used to evaluate finite trigonometric sums. In each case, either the sum had not previously been evaluated, or it had been evaluated, but only by analytic means, e.g., by complex analysis or modular transformation…
We prove two supercongruences for specific truncated hypergeometric series. These include an uniparametric extension of a supercongruence that was recently established by Long and Ramakrishna. Our proofs involve special instances of various…
Inspired by a Zudilin-Zhao's supercongruences pattern related to Ramanujan-like series for $1/\pi^k$, we conjecture a kind of $p$-adic expansions.
During his lifetime, Ramanujan provided many formulae relating binomial sums to special values of the Gamma function. Based on numerical computations, Van Hamme recently conjectured $p$-adic analogues to such formulae. Using a combination…
Explicit formulas involving a generalized Ramanujan sum are derived. An analogue of the prime number theorem is obtained and equivalences of the Riemann hypothesis are shown. Finally, explicit formulas of Bartz are generalized.
