In this paper we prove theorems related to the Ramanujan-type series for $1/\pi$ (type $_3F_2$) and to the Ramanujan-like series, discovered by the author, for $1/\pi^2$ (type $_5F_4$). Our developments for the cases $_3 F_2$ and $_5 F_4$…
Our main results are a WZ-proof of a new Ramanujan-like series for $1/\pi^2$ and a hypergeometric identity involving three series.
We show with some examples how to prove some Ramanujan-type series for $1/\pi$ in an elementary way by using terminating identities.
A generalization of the Chu-Vandermonde convolution is presented and proved with the integral representation method. This identity can be transformed into another identity, which has as special cases two known identities. Another identity…
We adopt the "translation" as well as other techniques to express several identities conjectured by Z.-W. Sun in arXiv:1102.5649v47 by means of known formulas for $1/\pi$ involving Domb and other Ap\'ery-like sequences.
A doubly infinite set of series expansion for $1/\pi$ are reported. They follow trivially from a formal expansion for the quotient of the values taken by the gamma function for two (complex) arguments differing by an integer plus one half,…
An identity by Chaundy and Bullard writes 1/(1-x)^n (n=1,2,...) as a sum of two truncated binomial series. This identity was rediscovered many times. Notably, a special case was rediscovered by I. Daubechies, while she was setting up the…
Ramanujan's series for Pi, that appeared in his famous letter to Hardy, is given a one-line WZ proof.
In terms of the hypergeometric method, we establish the extensions of two formulas for $1/\pi$ due to Ramanujan [27]. Further, other five summation formulas for $1/\pi$ with free parameters are also derived in the same way.
This is an elementary explanation of a cubic composition formula due to Ramanujan.
During the last few years of his life, Ramanujan had adamantly tried to invert the modular invariant. Subsequent efforts failed until May 30, 2011 when an explicit closed formula for an inverse was presented at the CCRAS (Moscow, Russia).…
In this note, we evaluate a series for $1/\pi$ conjectured by Sun. Our proof uses the Cauchy product and hypergeometric transformations. From this result, we derive two additional analogous series for $1/\pi$ involving polynomials of degree…
In this paper we prove some new series for $1/\pi$ as well as related congruences. We also raise several new kinds of series for $1/\pi$ and present some related conjectural congruences involving representations of primes by binary…
We give new improvements to the Chudnovsky-Chudnovsky method that provides upper bounds on the bilinear complexity of multiplication in extensions of finite fields through interpolation on algebraic curves. Our approach features three…
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…
An identity by Chaundy and Bullard writes 1/(1-x)^n (n=1,2,...) as a sum of two truncated binomial series. In a paper which appeared in 2008 in Indag. Math. the authors surveyed many aspects of this identity. In the present paper we discuss…
We obtained a new formula for $\pi$.
We present several supercongruences that may be viewed as $p$-adic analogues of Ramanujan-type series for $1/\pi$ and $1/\pi^2$, and prove three of these examples.
We outline an elementary method for proving numerical hypergeometric identities, in particular, Ramanujan-type identities for $1/\pi$. The principal idea is using algebraic transformations of arithmetic hypergeometric series to translate…
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…
