A simple proof of a new summation formula for a terminating r+3Fr+2(1) hypergeometric series, representing an extension of Saalschutz's formula for a 3F2(1) series, is given for the case of r pairs of numeratorial and denominatorial…
We study the sums $$ S_f(x) = \sum_{n\leq x} f\left(\left\lfloor\frac{x}{n}\right\rfloor\right) $$ when $f$ is supported on $r$th powers with $r\geq 2$. This restriction allows us to give nontrivial estimates for one of the error terms in…
Motivated by recent results, we study sums of the form $S_f(x) = \sum_{n\leq x} f\left(\left\lfloor\frac{x}{n}\right\rfloor \right)$, where $f$ is an arithmetic function and $\left\lfloor\cdot\right\rfloor$ denotes the greatest integer…

All the $F:$N$\rightarrow $C having Ramanujan expansion $F(a)=\sum_{q=1}^{\infty}G(q)c_q(a)$ (here $c_q(a)$ is the Ramanujan sum) pointwise converging in $a\in $N, with $G:$N$\rightarrow $C a multiplicative function, may be factored into…
We construct several expansions of the solutions of the confluent Heun equation in terms of the incomplete Beta functions and the Appell generalized hypergeometric functions of two variables of the fist kind. The coefficients of different…
We study Ramanujan's cubic continued fraction and explicit evaluations of theta-functions
We produce nontrivial asymptotic estimates for shifted sums of the form $\sum a(h)b(m)c(2m-h)$, in which $a(n),b(n),c(n)$ are un-normalized Fourier coefficients of holomorphic cusp forms. These results are unconditional, but we demonstrate…
We deduce asymptotic formulas for the alternating sums $\sum_{n\le x} (-1)^{n-1} f(n)$ and $\sum_{n\le x} (-1)^{n-1} \frac1{f(n)}$, where $f$ is one of the following classical multiplicative arithmetic functions: Euler's totient function,…
This paper develops an approach to the evaluation of infinite series involving hyperbolic functions. By using the approach, we give explicit formulas for several classes of series of hyperbolic functions in terms of Riemann zeta values.…
In this paper, we derive a unified generalization of Ramanujan's transformation identities for the theta function $f(a,b)$, originally appearing in Ramanujan's Notebooks, Parts~III and IV. Using an approach based on residue-class…
Let $n=\prod_p p^{\nu_p(n)}$ denote the canonical factorization of $n\in \N$. The binomial convolution of arithmetical functions $f$ and $g$ is defined as $(f\circ g)(n)=\sum_{d\mid n} (\prod_p \binom{\nu_p(n)}{\nu_p(d)}) f(d)g(n/d),$ where…
Applying the triplicate form of the extended Gould--Hsu inverse series relations to Dougall's summation theorem for the well--poised $_7F_6$-series, we establish, from the dual series, several interesting Ramanujan--like infinite series…
Several continued fraction expansions for $e$ have been produced by an automated conjecture generator (ACG) called \emph{The Ramanujan Machine}. Some of these were already known, some have recently been proved and some remain unproven.…
We consider the asymptotic expansion for $x\to\pm\infty$ of the entire function \[F_{n,\sigma}(x;\mu)=\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{\sin\,(n\gamma_k)}{\sin \gamma_k}\,\frac{x^k}{k! \Gamma(\mu-\sigma k)},\quad \gamma_k=\frac{(k+1)\pi}{2n}\] for…
We suggest a continued fraction origin to Ramanujan's approximation to {(a-b)/(a+b)}^2 in terms of the arc length of an ellipse with semiaxes a and b. Moreover, we discuss the asymptotic accuracy of the approximation.
Let $f(n)$ be an arithmetic function with $f(n) \ll n^\alpha$ for some $\alpha\in[0,1)$ and let $\lfloor .\rfloor $ denote the integer part function. In this paper, we evaluate asymptotically the sums $$\sum_{n_{1}n_{2}\leq x}f \left(…
The expansion of Kummer's hypergeometric function as a series of incomplete Gamma functions is discussed, for real values of the parameters and of the variable. The error performed approximating the Kummer function with a finite sum of…
By splitting the real line into intervals of unit length a doubly infinite integral of the form $\Int F(q^x)\,dx,\; 0<q<1$, can clearly be expressed as $\Integ \Sum F(q^{x+n})\,dx$, provided $F$ satisfies the appropriate conditions. This…
We obtain asymptotic formulas with remainder terms for the hyperbolic summations $\sum_{mn\le x} f((m,n))$ and $\sum_{mn\le x} f([m,n])$, where $f$ belongs to certain classes of arithmetic functions, $(m,n)$ and $[m,n]$ denoting the gcd and…
