An extensive table of pairs of functions linked by the Legendre transformation is presented. Many special functions and formulas that are used in the sciences are included in the pairs. Formulations are provided for finding the Legendre…
We use a variant of Wan's method to prove two Ramanujan-Orr type formulas for $1/\pi$. This variant needs to know in advance the formulas for $1/\pi$ that we want to prove, but avoids the need of solving a system of equations.
By introducing a class of meromorphic functions with certain ramification structures on $\Bbb{CP}^1$, a new method for the determination of the Legendre representation of elliptic curves with complex multiplication is introduced. These…
Via symbolic computation we deduce 97 new type series for powers of $\pi$ related to Ramanujan-type series. Here are three typical examples: $$\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{P(k) \binom{2k}k\binom{3k}k…
Associated Legendre functions of fractional degree appear in the solution of boundary value problems in wedges or in toroidal geometries, and elsewhere in applied mathematics. In the classical case when the degree is half an odd integer,…
The known WZ-proofs for Ramanujan-type series related to $1/\pi$ gave us the insight to develop a new proof strategy based on the WZ-method. Using this approach we are able to find more generalizations and discover first WZ-proofs for…
This article deals with three types of mutually inverse series relating Ferrers and associated Legendre functions of arbitrary complex indexes and orders established on the base of integral representations by using a number of generating…
We find that the solution of the polar angular differential equation can be written as the universal associated Legendre polynomials. Its generating function is applied to obtain an analytical result for a class of interesting integrals…
Using generalized binomial coefficient identities and some results of John Dougall, we derive some families of series involving the cubes of Catalan numbers. We also establish a family of series containing fourth powers of Catalan numbers.…
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…
Legendre's relation for the complete elliptic integrals of the first and second kinds is generalized. The proof depends on an application of the generalized trigonometric functions and is alternative to the proof for Elliott's identity.
In our previous publication we have shown a method for calculating series of even powers of $\pi$ based on the product representation of the $sinc$ function. We refer the readers to [1] for more details. In this work we apply the method to…
A modified Lagrange Polynomial is introduced for polynomial extrapolation, which can be used to estimate the equally spaced values of a polynomial function. As an example of its application, this article presents a prime-generating…
We evaluate in closed form, for the first time, certain classes of double series, which are remindful of lattice sums. Elliptic functions, singular moduli, class invariants, and the Rogers--Ramanujan continued fraction play central roles in…
In this work we introduce interesting infinite series, related to Ramanujan-Soldner constant. Our method uses general properties of polynomials of binomial type and Lagrange inversion theorem. Also we study properties of the operator…
In previous works, we presented series representations for $\pi^3$ and $\pi^5$, in which the prefactor depends only on the golden ratio appears. In this article, we derive a general relation involving trigonometric functions and an infinite…
We decompose the generating function $\sum_{n=0}^\infty\binom{2n}nP_n(y)^2z^n$ of the squares of Legendre polynomials as a product of periods of hyperelliptic curves. These periods satisfy a family of $\textit{second}$ order differential…
Our main results are a WZ-proof of a new Ramanujan-like series for $1/\pi^2$ and a hypergeometric identity involving three series.
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…
We consider a basis of square integrable functions on a rectangle, contained in $R^2$, constructed with Legendre polynomials, suitable, for instance, for the analogical description of images on the plane or in other fields of application of…
