We outline an elementary method for proving numerical hypergeometric identities, in particular, Ramanujan-type identities for $1/\pi$. The principal idea is using algebraic transformations of arithmetic hypergeometric series to translate…

In terms of the hypergeometric method, we establish the extensions of two formulas for $1/\pi$ due to Ramanujan [27]. Further, other five summation formulas for $1/\pi$ with free parameters are also derived in the same way.

In terms of the difference operators, we establish several curious transformation and summation formulas for basic hypergeometric series. When the parameters are specified, they produce $q$-analogues of Ramanujan's three series for 1/$\pi$…

We give a simple unified proof for all existing rational hypergeometric Ramanujan identities for $1/\pi$, and give a complete survey (without proof) of several generalizations: rational hypergeometric identities for $1/\pi^c$, Taylor…

We extend the validity range of a Ramanujan's hypergeometric transformation formula proved by Berndt, Bhargava and Garvan, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 347, 4163 (1995) and study its implications. Relations to special values of complete elliptic…

Using the machinery from the theory of Calabi-Yau differential equations, we find formulas for $1/\pi^2$ of hypergeometric and non-hypergeometric types.

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

In this article we give the theoretical background for generating Ramanujan type $1/\pi^{2\nu}$ formulas. As applications of our method we give a general construction of $1/\pi^4$ series and examples of $1/\pi^6$ series. We also study the…

By employing certain extended classical summation theorems, several surprising \pi and other formulae are displayed.

Several terminating generalizations of Ramanujan's formula for $\frac{1}{\pi}$ with complete WZ proofs are given.

Through an application of a remarkable result due to Mishev in 2018 concerning the inverses for a class of transformations of sequences of complex numbers, we obtain a very simple proof for a famous series for $\frac{1}{\pi}$ due to…

Using some properties of the gamma function and the well-known Gauss summation formula for the classical hypergeometric series, we prove a four-parameter series expansion formula, which can produce infinitely many Ramanujan type series for…

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 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…

We derive two generalizations of Gasper's transformation formula for basic hypergeometric series. Using these generalized formulas, we give explicit expressions for the coefficients of three-term relations for the basic hypergeometric…

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…

We extend expansion formulas of Liu given in 2013 to the context of multiple series over root systems. Liu and others have shown the usefulness of these formulas in Special Functions and number-theoretic contexts. We extend Wang and Ma's…

We deduce new q-series identities by applying inverse relations to certain identities for basic hypergeometric series. The identities obtained themselves do not belong to the hierarchy of basic hypergeometric series. We extend two of our…

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…

Our main results are a WZ-proof of a new Ramanujan-like series for $1/\pi^2$ and a hypergeometric identity involving three series.
