Bernoulli type inequalities for functions of logarithmic type are given. These functions include, in particular, Gaussian hypergeometric functions in the zero-balanced case $F(a,b;a+b;x)\,.$
We study the quotient of hypergeometric functions \begin{equation*} \mu_{a}^*(r)=\frac{\pi}{2\sin{(\pi a)}}\frac{F(a,1-a;1;1-r^3)}{F(a,1-a;1;r^3)} \quad (r\in(0,1)) \end{equation*} in the theory of Ramanujan's generalized modular equation…
It is shown that Ramanujan's cubic transformation of the Gauss hypergeometric function ${}_2F_1$ arises from a relation between modular curves, namely the covering of $X_0(3)$ by $X_0(9)$. In general, when $2\le N\le 7$ the N-fold cover of…
