We use a method of translation to recover Borweins' quadratic and quartic iterations. Then, by using the WZ-method, we obtain some initial values which lead to the limit $1/\pi$. We will not use the modular theory nor either the Gauss'…
Generalized trigonometric functions are applied to the Legendre-Jacobi standard form of complete elliptic integrals, and a new form of the generalized complete elliptic integrals of the Borweins is presented. According to the form, it can…
We present a simple recurrent formula to generate the Machin-like expression for calculating $\pi/4$. The method works for any denominator in the starting term and always provides a finite decomposition. We show that the terms in the…
We derive an integral expression $G(z)$ for the reciprocal gamma function, $1/\Gamma(z)=G(z)/\pi$, that is valid for all $z\in\mathbb{C}$, without the need for analytic continuation. The same integral avoids the singularities of the gamma…
We consider some of Jonathan and Peter Borweins' contributions to the high-precision computation of $\pi$ and the elementary functions, with particular reference to their book "Pi and the AGM" (Wiley, 1987). Here "AGM" is the…
We generalize the derivation of the Wallis formula for $\pi$ from a variational computation of the spectrum of the Hydrogen atom. We obtain infinite product formulas for certain combinations of gamma functions, which include irrational…
An integral over the interval $(0,\pi)$ is given for the cumulative distribution function of a sum of independent gamma random variables with different scale and shape parameters. The cumulative distribution function of a positive definite…

We discuss the best methods available for computing the gamma function $\Gamma(z)$ in arbitrary-precision arithmetic with rigorous error bounds. We address different cases: rational, algebraic, real or complex arguments; large or small…
A recursive algebraic method which allows to obtain the Feynman or Schwinger parametric representation of a generic L-loops and (E+1) external lines diagram, in a scalar $\phi ^{3}\oplus \phi ^{4}$ theory, is presented. The representation…
In terms of the hypergeometric method, we give the extensions of two known series for $\pi$. Further, other twenty-nine summation formulas for $\pi$, $\pi^2$ and $1/\pi$ with free parameters are also derived in the same way.
A new version of the Graeffe algorithm for finding all the roots of univariate complex polynomials is proposed. It is obtained from the classical algorithm by a process analogous to renormalization of dynamical systems. This iteration is…
We establish sharp inequalities involving the incomplete Beta and Gamma functions. These inequalities arise in the approximation of generalized Bernstein functions by higher order Thorin-Bernstein functions. Furthermore, new properties of a…
We provide a simple way of searching for formulas of the Bailey--Borwein--Plouffe type together with an algorithm and an implementation in \texttt{sage}. Aside from rediscovering some already known formulas, the method has been used in the…

We adapt the rectangular splitting technique of Paterson and Stockmeyer to the problem of evaluating terms in holonomic sequences that depend on a parameter. This approach allows computing the $n$-th term in a recurrent sequence of suitable…
Traditional numerical methods for calculating matrix eigenvalues are prohibitively expensive for high-dimensional problems. Iterative random sparsification methods allow for the estimation of a single dominant eigenvalue at reduced cost by…
An iterative method is derived for image reconstruction. Among other attributes, this method allows constraints unrelated to the radiation measurements to be incorporated into the reconstructed image. A comparison is made with the widely…
A recursive method is derived to calculate all eigenvalue correlation functions of a random hermitian matrix in the large size limit, and after smoothing of the short scale oscillations. The property that the two-point function is…
