The polynomial Ramanujan sum was first introduced by Carlitz [7], and a generalized version by Cohen [10]. In this paper, we study the arithmetical and analytic properties of these sums, derive various fundamental identities, such as H…
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…
Ramanujan's Master Theorem is a decades-old theorem in the theory of Mellin transforms which has wide applications in both mathematics and high energy physics. The unconventional method of Ramanujan in his proof of the theorem left…
In this work we present the relation between method of brackets and the master theorem of Ramanujan in the evaluation of multivariable integrals, in this case Feynman diagrams.
The goal of this work is to formulate a systematical method for looking for the simple closed form or continued fraction representation of a class of rational series. As applications, we obtain the continued fraction representations for the…
The objectives of this article are three-fold. Firstly, we present for the first time explicit constructions of an infinite family of \textit{unbalanced} Ramanujan bigraphs. Secondly, we revisit some of the known methods for constructing…
The theory of supercharacters, recently developed by Diaconis-Isaacs and Andre, can be used to derive the fundamental algebraic properties of Ramanujan sums. This machinery frequently yields one-line proofs of difficult identities and…
We briefly review some of Ramanujan's contributions to mathematics, including his $1/\pi$ series, his work on modular forms, and his work on partitions. We briefly review his life, including his collaboration with Hardy. Finally, we give a…
Ramanujan graphs are graphs whose spectrum is bounded optimally. Such graphs have found numerous applications in combinatorics and computer science. In recent years, a high dimensional theory has emerged. In this paper these developments…
An identity by Ramanujan is expressed using polar coordinates, so that its proof reduces to the verification of an elementary trigonometric identity. This approach produces a few variations on Ramanujan's original identity.
We study two aspects of Hecke symmetry in this note: first, we conjecture a generalization of the Ramanujan identities to the case of automorphic forms of Hecke groups; second, we conjecture a generalization of an inversion formula from the…
We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a polynomial to be divisible by a cyclotomic polynomials and derive new formulas involving Ramanujan sums as an application of our results. Additionally, we provide new insights into the…
The Euler product for the Landau--Ramanujan constant could have motivated a curious identity by Ramanujan that appears in his notebooks two times. This observation involves a square root and the first four prime numbers of the form $4n+3$,…
We prove that there exist infinite families of regular bipartite Ramanujan graphs of every degree bigger than 2. We do this by proving a variant of a conjecture of Bilu and Linial about the existence of good 2-lifts of every graph. We also…
A brief overview of some computer algebra methods for computations with nested integrals is given. The focus is on nested integrals over integrands involving square roots. Rewrite rules for conversion to and from associated nested sums are…
We present a new proof of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities. Surprisingly, all its ingredients are available already in Rogers seminal paper from 1894, where he gave a considerably more complicated proof.
In this article, we consider systems of linear congruences in several variables and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions as well as explicit expressions for the number of solutions subject to certain restriction conditions. These…
Several methods are used to evaluate finite trigonometric sums. In each case, either the sum had not previously been evaluated, or it had been evaluated, but only by analytic means, e.g., by complex analysis or modular transformation…
The paper consists of two parts. The aim of the first, and main, part is to explain, in an elementary way, Hasse's proof of Ramanujan-Nagell's Theorem. In the second part, we formulate some natural extensions of Ramanujan-Nagell's equation.
At scattered places of his notebooks, Ramanujan recorded over 30 values of singular moduli $\alpha_n$. All those results were proved by Berndt et. al by employing Weber-Ramanujan's class invariants. In this paper, we initiate to derive the…
