A generalization of the q-(Pfaff)-Saalschutz summation formula is proved. This implies a generalization of the Burge transform, resulting in an additional dimension of the ``Burge tree''. Limiting cases of our summation formula imply the…

We prove a remarkable formula of Ramanujan for the logarithmic derivative of the gamma function, which converges more rapidly than classical expansions, and which is stated without proof in Ramanujan's notebooks. The formula has a number of…

By multidimensional matrix inversion, combined with an A_r extension of Jackson's 8-phi-7 summation formula by Milne, a new multivariable 8-phi-7 summation is derived. By a polynomial argument this 8-phi-7 summation is transformed to…

In 1914 S. Ramanujan recorded a list of 17 series for $1/\pi$. We survey the methods of proofs of Ramanujan's formulae and indicate recently discovered generalizations, some of which are not yet proven.

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…

In this work we investigate Plancherel-Rotach type asymptotics for some $q$-series as $q\to1$. These $q$-series generalize Ramanujan function $A_{q}(z)$ ($q$-Airy function), Jackson's $q$-Bessel function $J_{\nu}^{(2)}$(z;q), Ismail-Masson…

We prove a polynomial continued fraction identity for the constant $-\pi/4$, conjectured by the Ramanujan Machine project. The proof proceeds by explicitly solving the underlying second-order linear difference equation. We derive a…

We give a simple proof and a multivariable generalization of an identity due to E. Alkan concerning a weighted average of the Ramanujan sums. We deduce identities for other weighted averages of the Ramanujan sums with weights concerning…

The general problem of the factorization of a basic hypergeometric series is presented and discussed. The case of the general $_2\psi_2$ series is examined in detail. Connections are found with the theory of basic hypergeometric series on…

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 prove that certain functions involving ratios of Gamma functions and the Psi-function belong to generalized Bernstein classes and new properties of generalized Bernstein functions are given.

We prove two new series of Ramanujan type for $1/\pi^2$.

Let $k \ge 2$ and $\alpha_1, \beta_1, ..., \alpha_k, \beta_k$ be reals such that the $\alpha_i$'s are irrational and greater than 1. Suppose further that some ratio $\alpha_i/\alpha_j$ is irrational. We study the representations of an…

By polynomial (or extended binomial) coefficients, we mean the coefficients in the expansion of integral powers, positive and negative, of the polynomial $1+t +\cdots +t^{m}$; $m\geq 1$ being a fixed integer. We will establish several…

The Kronecker theta function is a quotient of the Jacobi theta functions, which is also a special case of Ramanujan's $_1\psi_1$ summation. Using the Kronecker theta function as building blocks, we prove a decomposition theorem for theta…

The Rogers-Ramanujan identity for $\!\!\phantom{|}_1\psi_1$ $$ \sum_{n\in\mathbb{Z}} \frac{(a;q)_n}{(b;q)_n} z^n\;=\; \frac{(q,b/a,az,q/az;q)_\infty}{(b,q/a,z,b/az;q)_\infty} $$ can be classified as one related to the Bethe Ansatz for…

We discuss joint temporal and contemporaneous aggregation of $N$ independent copies of strictly stationary AR(1) and INteger-valued AutoRegressive processes of order 1 (INAR(1)) with random coefficient $\alpha \in (0, 1)$ and idiosyncratic…

In this short note, we show an analogue of one of Alladi's and Dawsey's formulas with respect to the Ramanujan sum $c_n(m)$ for $m\geq1$. Their formulas may be viewed as the case $m=1$ in our result.

In this paper we consider error sums of the form \[\sum_{m=0}^{\infty} \varepsilon_m\Big( \,b_m\alpha - \frac{a_m}{c_m}\,\Big) \,,\] where $\alpha$ is a real number, $a_m$, $b_m$, $c_m$ are integers, and $\varepsilon_m=1$ or $\varepsilon_m…

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,…
