Page 332 of Ramanujan's Lost Notebook contains a compelling identity for $\zeta(1/2)$, which has been studied by many mathematicians over the years. On the same page, Ramanujan also recorded the series, \begin{align*} \frac{1^r}{\exp(1^s x)…
In this expository article, we discuss the contributions made by several mathematicians with regard to a famous formula of Ramanujan for odd zeta values. The goal is to complement the excellent survey by Berndt and Straub…
Let $p(n)$ be the number of partition of a positive integer $n$. We derive a new identity for complete Bell polynomials based on a generating function of $p(7n+5)$ given by Ramanujan.
In this note, it is shown that the Ramanujan Master Theorem (RMT) when n is a positive integer can be obtained, as a special case, from a new integral formula. Furthermore, we give a simple proof of the RMT when n is not an integer.
This article is about Pi Formulas, infinite series of fractions which sum to multiples of Pi. Each such one can be associated with a unique set $S_k$ of rough numbers, where $k$ is a prime number. Given $S_k$ for any prime $k$, the set…
In this article we give evaluations of the two complete elliptic integrals $K$ and $E$ in the form of Ramanujans type-$\pi$ formulas. The result is a formula for $\Gamma(1/4)^2\pi^{-3/2}$ with accuracy about 120 digits per term.
Let $\Bbb Z$ and $\Bbb Z^+$ be the set of integers and the set of positive integers, respectively. For $a,b,c,d,n\in\Bbb Z^+$ let $t(a,b,c,d;n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by $ax(x+1)/2+by(y+1)/2+cz(z+1)/2+dw(w+1)/2$…
The Ramanujan polynomials arise in three intertwined contexts. As remarked by BerndtEvans-Wilson, no combinatorial perspective seems to be alluded to in the original definition of Ramanujan. On a different stage, Dumont-Ramamonjisoa…
The study of Ramanujan-type congruences for functions specific to additive number theory has a long and rich history. Motivated by recent connections between divisor sums and overpartitions via congruences in arithmetic progressions, we…
We describe how the Hardy-Ramanujan-Rademacher formula can be implemented to allow the partition function $p(n)$ to be computed with softly optimal complexity $O(n^{1/2+o(1)})$ and very little overhead. A new implementation based on these…
One of the celebrated formulas of Ramanujan is about odd zeta values, which has been studied by many mathematicians over the years. A notable extension was given by Grosswald in 1972. Following Ramanujan's idea, we rediscovered a…
We show some definite integrals connecting to infinite series, studied in Ramanujan's paper, titled "On question 330 of Professor Sanjana". We present few recursive methods to evaluate these definite integrals in various cases and we…
For $x>0$ let $\pi(x)$ denote the number of primes not exceeding $x$. For integers $a$ and $m>0$, we determine when there is an integer $n>1$ with $\pi(n)=(n+a)/m$. In particular, we show that for any integers $m>2$ and $a\le\lceil…
We present a detailed error analysis of Ramanujan's most accurate approximation to the perimeter of an ellipse.
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…
The classical transformation of Jacobi's theta function admits a simple proof by producing an integral representation that yields this invariance apparent. This idea seems to have first appeared in the work of S. Ramanujan. Several examples…
In terms of the operator method, we prove two conjectural series for $\pi$ of Sun involving harmonic numbers of order two. Furthermore, we also give $q$-analogues of six $\pi$-formulas including the two ones just mentioned.
The purpose of this paper is to present series expansions for even powers of the number $\pi$. This is accomplished by generalizing Euler's method for solving the Basel Problem, which was published in 1735. We employ elementary symmetric…
We derive the mean square of the divisor function using only elementary techniques.
Ramanujan's Master theorem states that, under suitable conditions, the Mellin transform of an alternating power series provides an interpolation formula for the coefficients of this series. Ramanujan applied this theorem to compute several…
