The constant $\pi$ has fascinated scholars throughout the centuries, inspiring numerous formulas for its evaluation, such as infinite sums and continued fractions. Despite their individual significance, many of the underlying connections…
The authors provide a survey of certain aspects of their joint work with the late M. K. Vamanamurthy. Most of the results are simple to state and deal with special functions, a topic of research where S. Ramanujan's contributions are…
The known WZ-proofs for Ramanujan-type series related to $1/\pi$ gave us the insight to develop a new proof strategy based on the WZ-method. Using this approach we are able to find more generalizations and discover first WZ-proofs for…
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…
In this paper a recursive algorithm is presented for evaluating multivariate Pad\'e approximants (of the rectangular type described in the work of Lutterodt) which is analogous to the Jacobi formula for univariate Pad\'e approximants. This…
In this Note we show that given any cusp form \pi on GL(3) over the rationals, there exist an infinite number of primes p which are Ramanujan for \pi, i.e., that the local components \pi_p are tempered for an infinite number of p. It turns…
In 2017, He [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 145 (2017), 501--508] established two spuercongruences on truncated hypergeometric series and further proposed two related conjectures. Subsequently, Liu [Results Math. 72 (2017), 2057--2066] extended…
Srinivasa Ramanujan provided series expansions of certain arithmetical functions in terms of the exponential sums defined by $c_r(n) = \sum\limits_{\substack{{m=1}\\ (m,r)=1}}^{r} e^{\frac{2 \pi imn}{r}}$ in [Trans. Cambridge Phillos. Soc,…
In this paper we give a formula for the classes (in the Grothendieck ring of complex quasi-projective varieties) of irreducible components of $(1,k)$-quasi-homogeneous Hilbert schemes of points on the plane. We find a new simple geometric…
In this article we continue a previous work in which we have generalized the Rogers Ramanujan continued fraction (RR) introducing what we call, the Ramanujan-Quantities (RQ). We use the Mathematica package to give several modular equations…
In this article we derive an approximation inequality for continued radicals, generalizing an inequality of Herschfeld for continued square roots to arbitrary radicals, which is useful in exploring convergence issues and obtaining…
In this work, we establish modular parameterizations for two general formulas for $\frac{1}{\pi}$ that subsume conjectural Ramanujan type formulas due to Z.-W. Sun, which have remained open since 2011. As an application of this, in a…
A class of classical solutions to the $q$-Painlev\'e equation of type $(A_1+A_1')^{(1)}$ (a $q$-difference analog of the Painlev\'e II equation) is constructed in a determinantal form with basic hypergeometric function elements. The…
By making use of the multiplicate form of the extended Carlitz inverse series relations, we establish two general `dual' theorems of Jackson's summation formula for well--poised $_8\phi_7$-series. Their duplicate forms under the partition…
The two Rogers-Ramanujan $q$-series \[ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{q^{n(n+\sigma)}}{(1-q)\cdots (1-q^n)}, \] where $\sigma=0,1$, play many roles in mathematics and physics. By the Rogers-Ramanujan identities, they are essentially modular…
This paper provides a survey of particular values of Ramanujan's theta function $\varphi(q)=\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}q^{n^2}$, when $q=e^{-\pi\sqrt{n}}$, where $n$ is a positive rational number. First, descriptions of the tools used to…
We prove a polynomial continued fraction identity for the constant $-\pi/4$, conjectured by the Ramanujan Machine project. The proof proceeds by explicitly solving the underlying second-order linear difference equation. We derive a…
Notions of compatible and almost compatible pseudo-Riemannian metrics, which are motivated by the theory of compatible (local and nonlocal) Poisson structures of hydrodynamic type and generalize the notion of flat pencil of metrics, are…
This paper presents an approach to summing a few families of infinite series involving hyperbolic functions, some of which were first studied by Ramanujan. The key idea is based on their contour integral representations and residue…
We give new nested radical equations of similar kind to Ramanujan's questions to the Indian Mathematical Society 100 years ago. While many have since considered these from the perspectives of the Notebooks of Ramanujan and from the theory…
