The aim in this note is to provide a generalization of an interesting entry in Ramanujan's Notebooks that relate sums involving the derivatives of a function Phi(t) evaluated at 0 and 1. The generalization obtained is derived with the help…
It is mathematical folklore that 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ... = --1/12. This result is usually achieved using elaborate analytical methods, such as zeta function regularization or Ramanujan summation. However, in its notebooks, Ramanujan has 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…
In the first part we establish a connection between the Euler-Maclaurin summation formula and the Rota-Baxter functional equation. In the second part we give a simple proof of a formula, due to Ramanujan, on the summation of certain…
In this article we use theoretical and numerical methods to evaluate in a closed-exact form the parameters of Ramanujan type $1/\pi$ formulas.
The study of Ramanujan-type congruences for functions specific to additive number theory has a long and rich history. Motivated by recent connections between divisor sums and overpartitions via congruences in arithmetic progressions, we…
We show that explicit forms for certain polynomials~$\psi^{(a)}_m(n)$ with the property \[ \psi^{(a+1)}_m(n) = \sum_{\nu=1}^n \psi_m^{(a)}(\nu) \] can be found (here, $a,m,n\in\mathbb{N}_0$). We use these polynomials as a basis to express…
The Ramanujan--Mordell Theorem for sums of an even number of squares is extended to other quadratic forms and quadratic polynomials.
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…
A proof of an unusual summation formula for a basic hypergeometric series associated to the affine root system $\tilde A_n$ that was conjectured by Warnaar is given. It makes use of Milne's $A_n$ extension of Watson's transformation,…
Using the WZ-method we find some of the easiest Ramanujan's formulae and also some new interesting Ramanujan-like sums.
A map is a panorama in small scale. In this half-survey, half-research paper we give general results on Ramanujan expansions. We don't include the ocean of results from the literature on the two classes (see Schwarz-Spilker Book, also…
Two classes of finite trigonometric sums, each involving only $\sin$'s, are evaluated in closed form. The previous and original proofs arise from Ramanujan's theta functions and modular equations.
An identity by Ramanujan related to the multisection of Bernoulli numbers is revisited. Two alternative approaches are proposed, both relying on the multisection technique. A geometric approach reveals the role played by the symmetries of…
In the present paper, we introduce a multiple Ramanujan sum for arithmetic functions, which gives a multivariable extension of the generalized Ramanujan sum studied by D. R. Anderson and T. M. Apostol. We then find fundamental arithmetic…
In 1981, Andrews gave a four-variable generalization of Ramanujan's ${_1\psi_1}$ summation formula. We establish a six-variable generalization of Andrews' identity according to the transformation formula for two ${_8\phi_7}$ series and…
General summation formulas have been proved to be very useful in analysis, number theory and other branches of mathematics. The Lipschitz summation formula is one of them. In this paper, we give its application by providing a new…

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…
This paper investigates Srinivasa Ramanujan's initial intuitive methodology for assigning the finite value -1/12 to the sum of the divergent infinite series of all positive integers. We systematically examine Ramanujan's initial method,…
