We reconsider Archimedes' evaluations of several square roots in 'Measurement of a Circle'. We show that several methods proposed over the last century or so for his evaluations fail one or more criteria of plausibility. We also provide…
We have found several summation formulas that extend Ramanujan's psi sum. First contains a parameter $\alpha=1/N$, $N$ is a positive integer, and transforms to $q$-beta integral in the limit $N\to\infty$. The other is a $q$-analogue of…
In this paper, we prove supercongruence relations for truncated $N$-tuple sums of basic hypergeometric series. As an application, we give double, triple, and quadruple sum analogs of some Ramanujan-type supercongruences.
With the help of a summation of basic hypergeometric series, the creative microscoping method recently introduced by Guo and Zudilin, and the Chinese remainder theorem for coprime polynomials, we find some new $q$-supercongruences.…
By examining asymptotic behavior of certain infinite basic ($q$-) hypergeometric sums at roots of unity (that is, at a "$q$-microscopic" level) we prove polynomial congruences for their truncations. The latter reduce to non-trivial…
By applying the partial derivative operator to several summation formulas for hypergeometric series, we prove several double series for $\pi$ in this paper. Similarly, we also establish several $q$-analogues of them.
In a recent paper G. Bhatnagar has given simple proofs of some of Ramanujan's continued fractions. In this note we show that some variants of these continued fractions are generating functions of q-Schroeder-like numbers.
The beta integral is applied to accelerate the hypergeometric function $2 F 1\left\{1, B; C ; w\right\}$ to derive new infinite series for constants such as $\pi$ and values of the gamma function. A compendium of new infinite series is…
Fundamental mathematical constants appear in nearly every field of science, from physics to biology. Formulas that connect different constants often bring great insight by hinting at connections between previously disparate fields.…
Inspired by the recent work of Guo, we establish some new q-supercongruences including q-analogues of some Ramannujan-type supercongruences, by using the Bailey transformation formula and the `creative microscoping' method recently…
A re-calculation of a known family of formulas of PI is carried out, revisiting the old Archimedes' algorithm. This allows to identify a general family equation and three new simple formulas of Pi in terms of the golden ratio PHI in the…
The ratio of the circumference, C, of a circle to its diameter, D, is a constant number denoted by $\pi$ and is independent of the size of the circle. It is known that $\pi$ is an irrational number and therefore cannot be expressed as a…
Infinite series are evaluated through the manipulation of a series for $\cos(2t \sin^{-1}x)$ resulting from Clausen's Product. Hypergeometric series equal to an expression involving $\frac{1} {\pi}$ are determined. Techniques to evaluate…
In this article we developed a special topic of our pure-mathematics papers concerning the hypergeometric theory. Based upon a Roberts's reduction approach of hyperelliptic integrals to elliptic ones and on the simultaneous multivariable…
In this paper we first prove an isomorphism between certain spaces of Jacobi forms. Using this isomorphism, we study the mod $p$ theory of Hermitian Jacobi forms over $\mathbb{Q}(i)$. We then apply the mod $p$ theory of Hermitian Jacobi…
Re presenting the traditional proof of Srinivasa Ramanujan's own favorite series for the reciprocal of $\pi$ :\begin{equation}\frac{1}{\pi} = \frac{\sqrt{8}}{9801} \sum_{n=0}^{+\infty} \frac{(4n)!}{(n!)^4} \frac{1103 + 26390n}{396^{4n}} \;…
In his famous work, "Measurement of a Circle," Archimedes described a procedure for measuring both the circumference of a circle and the area it bounds. Implicit in his work is the idea that his procedure defines these quantities. Modern…
Through an application of a remarkable result due to Mishev in 2018 concerning the inverses for a class of transformations of sequences of complex numbers, we obtain a very simple proof for a famous series for $\frac{1}{\pi}$ due to…
The aim of the paper is to relate computational and arithmetic questions about Euler's constant $\gamma$ with properties of the values of the $q$-logarithm function, with natural choice of $q$. By these means, we generalize a classical…
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.
