In this note, using an idea from \cite{Amo-Carrillo-Sanchez} we derive some new series representations involving $\zeta(2n)$ and Euler numbers. Using a well-known series representation for the Clausen function, we also provide some new…
A simplification of Ap\'ery's proof of the irrationality of \zeta(3) is presented. The construction of approximations is motivated from the viewpoint of 2-dimensional recurrence relations which simplifies many of the details of the proof.…
We show that solution to the Hermite-Pad\'{e} type I approximation problem leads in a natural way to a subclass of solutions of the Hirota (discrete Kadomtsev-Petviashvili) system and of its adjoint linear problem. Our result explains the…
Some rapidly convergent formulae for special values of the Riemann zeta function are given. We obtain a generating function formula for zeta(4n+3) which generalizes Apery's series for zeta(3), and appears to give the best possible series…
An important component of Ap\'ery's proof that $\zeta (3)$ is irrational involves representing $\zeta (3)$ as the limit of the quotient of two rational solutions to a three-term recurrence. We present various approaches to such Ap\'ery…
The idea to use classical hypergeometric series and, in particular, well-poised hypergeometric series in diophantine problems of the values of the polylogarithms has led to several novelties in number theory and neighbouring areas of…
In 1978, Apery has given sequences of rational approximations to $\zeta(2)$ and $\zeta(3)$ yielding the irrationality of each of these numbers. One of the key ingredient of Apery's proof are second-order difference equations with polynomial…
Following our earlier research, we use the method introduced by the author in \cite{prevost1996} named Remainder Pad\'e Approximant in \cite{rivoalprevost}, to construct approximations of the Hurwitz zeta function. We prove that these…
In this article, we establish a new linear independence criterion for the values of certain {\it Lauricella hypergeometric series} $F_D$ with rational parameters, in both the complex and $p$-adic settings, over an algebraic number field.…
It is described how the Hermite-Pad\'e polynomials corresponding to an algebraic approximant for a power series may be used to predict coefficients of the power series that have not been used to compute the Hermite-Pad\'e polynomials. A…
We propose a linear independence criterion, and outline an application of it. Down to its simplest case, it aims at solving this problem: given three real numbers, typically as special values of analytic functions, how to prove that the…
In this paper we derive rapidly converging series for Catalan's constant and for Ap\'ery's constant. The method may be easily generalised to produce new series representations for other values of the Riemann zeta function and the Dirichlet…
While Pad\'e approximation is a general method for improving convergence of series expansions, Gell-Mann--Low renormalization group normally relies on the presence of special symmetries. We show that in the single-variable case, the latter…
New (infinitely many) rational approximants to \zeta(3) proving its irrationality are given. The recurrence relations for the numerator and denominator of these approximants as well as their continued fraction expansions are obtained. A…
Sorokin gave in 1996 a new proof that pi is transcendental. It is based on a simultaneous Pad\'e approximation problem involving certain multiple polylogarithms, which evaluated at the point 1 are multiple zeta values equal to powers of pi.…
Ap\'ery's remarkable discovery of rapidly converging continued fractions with small coefficients for $\zeta(2)$ and $\zeta(3)$ has led to a flurry of important activity in an incredible variety of different directions. Our purpose is to…
Pad\'e approximations and Siegel's lemma are widely used tools in Diophantine approximation theory. This work has evolved from the attempts to improve Baker-type linear independence measures, either by using the Bombieri-Vaaler version of…
We describe how to solve simultaneous Pad\'e approximations over a power series ring $K[[x]]$ for a field $K$ using $O~(n^{\omega - 1} d)$ operations in $K$, where $d$ is the sought precision and $n$ is the number of power series to…
In this work we present new results on the convergence of diagonal sequences of certain mixed type Hermite-Pad\'e approximants of a Nikishin system. The study is motivated by a mixed Hermite-Pad\'e approximation scheme used in the…
We represent the Riemann zeta function in the half-plane $\Re s >1$ via series whose terms admit geometrically decreasing bounds. Due to an underlying recurrence relation, which is used to compute coefficients entering into the terms, the…
