It is well known that there is no closed form analytic expression for the perimeter of an ellipse. In 1927, Srinivasa Ramanujan provides two approximations to the perimeter of an ellipse that are amazingly accurate. However, he does not…
We present a detailed error analysis of Ramanujan's most accurate approximation to the perimeter of an ellipse.

This paper describes a 2-D graphics algorithm that uses shifts and adds to precisely plot a series of points on an ellipse of any shape and orientation. The algorithm can also plot an elliptic arc that starts and ends at arbitrary angles.…
We propose a simple derivation of an upper bound for the perimeter of an ellipse. The procedure, which relies on the use of elliptic integrals, consists in introducing, via inequalities and convexity properties, specific integrals which can…
A family of original formulae for computing number PI and its proof are presented. An algorithm is proposed to validate the results of this new algorithm.
The radius of the outer Dikin ellipsoid of the intersection of $m$ ellipsoids due to Fu et al. (J. Comb. Optim., 2, 29-50, 1998) is corrected from $m$ to $\sqrt{m^2+m}$. The approximation bound for the general convex quadratic constrained…
The perimeter of an ellipse has no exact closed-form expression in terms of elementary functions, and numerous approximations have been proposed since the eighteenth century. Classical formulas by Fagnano, Euler, and Ramanujan, as well as…
Recently published formulas for the calculation of radial part of overlap integrals (E.Oztekin, M.Yavuz, S.Atalay, Theor.Cmem.Acc., (2001), 106, 264) are critically analyzed. It is demonstrated that the presented in this work formulas are…
Ellipse and ellipsoid fitting has been extensively researched and widely applied. Although traditional fitting methods provide accurate estimation of ellipse parameters in the low-noise case, their performance is compromised when the noise…
The title says what is done here. Euler finds a news series for the arc of an ellipse. The paper is translated from the Latin original into German.
In this article a new upper bounds for the multiple trigonometrical integrals are found. The method of the work based on a new method of estimation for the areas of algebraic surfaces.
The solution of the geodesic problem for an oblate ellipsoid is developed in terms of series. Tables are provided to simplify the computation. [This is an English translation of F. W. Bessel, Astronomische Nachrichten 4(86), 241-254 (1825).…
The recent non-calculus proof of Kepler's first law succeeds because of an obscure, but valid property of the ellipse.
In the 1770s, Euler wrote a series of papers (E563, E691 and E692) about finding the ellipse with minimal area or perimeter in the family of all ellipses passing through a fixed set of points. This is a translation of all three papers from…
