Khnichin's theorem is a surprising and still relatively little known result. It can be used as a specific criterion for determining whether or not any given number is irrational. In this paper we apply this theorem as well as the…
We prove a recent conjecture, due to Vigren and Dieckmann, about an explicit triple sum formula for a series from Ramanujan's Notebooks. We shall give two proofs: the first one is by evaluation and based on the identity \begin{equation*}…
We study an elementary series that can be considered a relative of a series studied by Ramanujan in Part 1 of his Lost Notebooks. We derive a closed form for this series in terms of the inverse hyperbolic arctangent and the polylogarithm.…
The Stieltjes constants have attracted considerable attention in recent years and a number of authors, including the present one, have considered various ways in which these constants may be evaluated. The primary purpose of this paper is…
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…
The Ramanujan Machine project detects new expressions related to constants of interest, such as $\zeta$ function values, $\gamma$ and algebraic numbers (to name a few). In particular the project lists a number of conjectures concerning the…
This work is devoted to the obtaining of a new numerical scheme based in quadrature formulas for the Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral for the approximation of Stieltjes ordinary differential equations. This novel method allows us to numerically…
Ramanujan wrote the following identity \begin{align*} \sqrt{2 \left(1 - \frac{1}{3^2}\right) \left(1 - \frac{1}{7^2}\right) \left(1 - \frac{1}{11^2}\right) \left(1 - \frac{1}{19^2}\right)} \ = \ \left(1 + \frac{1}{7}\right) \left(1 +…
Fundamental mathematical constants like $e$ and $\pi$ are ubiquitous in diverse fields of science, from abstract mathematics to physics, biology and chemistry. For centuries, new formulas relating fundamental constants have been scarce and…
We consider a normalized indeterminate Hamburger moment sequence s which is supposed to be Stieltjes. We revisit old results about determinacy/indeterminacy in the sense of Stieltjes for s and we prove some new results about the concepts…
The Stieltjes constants gamma_k(a) are the expansion coefficients in the Laurent series for the Hurwitz zeta function about its only pole at s=1. We present the relation of gamma_k(1) to the eta_j coefficients that appear in the Laurent…
In this paper we present a new formula relating Stieltjes numbers $\gamma _{n}$ and Laurent coefficinets $\eta_{n}$ of logarithmic derivative of the Riemann's zeta function. Using it we derive an explicit formula for the oscillating part of…
We study the interplay between recurrences for zeta related functions at integer values, `Minor Corner Lattice' Toeplitz determinants and integer composition based sums. Our investigations touch on functional identities due to Ramanujan and…
We solve problem x proposed by O. Oloa, AMM xxx 2012 {\bf 119?} (to appear), p. yyy for certain definite logarithmic integrals. A number of generating functions are developed with certain coefficients $p_n$, and some extensions are…
This research article provides an unconditional proof of an inequality proposed by Srinivasa Ramanujan involving the Prime Counting Function $\pi(x)$, \begin{align*} (\pi(x))^{2}<\frac{ex}{\log x}\pi\left(\frac{x}{e}\right) \end{align*} for…
Volterra functions were introduced at the beginning of the twentieth century as solutions of some integral equations of convolution type with logarithmic kernel. Since then, few authors have studied this family of functions and faced with…
In this paper, the authors present sharp approximations in terms of sine function and polynomials for the so-called Ramanujan constant (or the Ramanujan $R$-function) $R(a)$, by showing some monotonicity, concavity and convexity properties…
Integrating with respect to functions which are constant on intervals whose bounds are discontinuity points (of those functions) is frequent in many branches of Mathematics, specially in stochastic processes. For such functions and alike…
In this paper we present experimental ways of evaluating Ramanujan`s quantities which as someone can see are related with algebraic numbers. The good thing with algebraic numbers is that can be found in a closed form, from there…
On page 206 in his lost notebook, Ramanujan recorded the following enigmatic identity for his theta function $\varphi(q)$: \begin{equation*} \varphi(e^{-7\pi\sqrt{7}}) = 7^{-3/4}\varphi(e^{-\pi\sqrt{7}})\big\{1 + (\quad)^{2/7} +…
