A family of original formulae for computing number PI and its proof are presented. An algorithm is proposed to validate the results of this new algorithm.

We show how to find series expansions for $\pi$ of the form $\pi=\sum_{n=0}^\infty {S(n)}\big/{\binom{mn}{pn}a^n}$, where S(n) is some polynomial in $n$ (depending on $m,p,a$). We prove that there exist such expansions for $m=8k$, $p=4k$,…

For any non-negative integer $n$ and non-zero integer $r$, let $p_r(n)$ denote Ramanujan's general partition function. By employing $q$-identities, we prove some new Ramanujan-type congruences modulo 5 for $p_r(n)$ for $r=-(5\lambda+1),…

We study the Poincar\'e series of the mixed and pure trace rings of generic matrices. These series are known to be rational functions. We obtain an explicit formula in lowest terms in the case of $2\times2$ matrices; a denominator, which we…

We present an efficient proof scheme for any instance of left-to-right modular exponentiation, used in many computational tests for primality. Specifically, we show that for any $(a,n,r,m)$ the correctness of a computation $a^n\equiv r\pmod…

Using a pointwise version of Fej\'{e}r's theorem about Fourier series, we obtain two formulae related to the series representations of positive integral powers of $\pi$. We also check the correctness of our formulae by the applications of…

We study certain arithmetic properties of an analogue $B(n)$ of Lin's restricted partition function that counts the number of partition triples $\pi=(\pi_1,\pi_2,\pi_3)$ of $n$ such that $\pi_1$ and $\pi_2$ comprise distinct odd parts and…

Using appropriate power series evaluations, we determine all moments of arbitrary positive powers of the arcsine. As consequences we evaluate several doubly infinite classes of power series involving central binomial coefficients and…

We investigate the analogues, in $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$, of highly composite numbers and the maximum order of the divisor function, as studied by Ramanujan. In particular, we determine a family of highly composite polynomials which is not too…

We use a method of translation to recover Borweins' quadratic and quartic iterations. Then, by using the WZ-method, we obtain some initial values which lead to the limit $1/\pi$. We will not use the modular theory nor either the Gauss'…

We consider Riordan arrays $\bigl(1/(1-t^{d+1}), ~ tp(t)\bigr)$. These are infinite lower triangular matrices determined by the formal power series $1/(1-t^{d+1})$ and a polynomial $p(t)$ of degree $d$. Columns of such matrix are eventually…

This is an elementary explanation of a cubic composition formula due to Ramanujan.

In this paper, we study a maximization problem on real sequences. More precisely, for a given sequence, we are interested in computing the supremum of the sequence and an index for which the associated term is maximal. We propose a general…

Modular composition is the problem of computing the composition of two univariate polynomials modulo a third one. For a long time, the fastest algebraic algorithm for this problem was that of Brent and Kung (1978). Recently, we improved…

In this paper we present an effective method for computing certain real coefficients $\lambda_{n}$ which appear in a criterion for the Riemann hypothesis proved by Xian-Jin Li. With the use of this method a sequence of over three-thousand…

Inspired by the work of S. Ramanujan, many people have studied generalized modular equations and the numerous identities found by Ramanujan. These identities known as modular equations can be transformed into polynomial equations. There is…

Ramanujan sums are exponential sums with exponent defined over the irreducible fractions. Until now, they have been used to provide converging expansions to some arithmetical functions appearing in the context of number theory. In this…

We provide a double-series formula for $\pi$ obtained using the Fourier series expansion of $1/\cos(x/4)$ and applying the Parseval-Plancherel identity. We show that such a formula involves the Grothendieck-Krivine constant, and that the…

The arithmetic properties of the ordinary partition function $p(n)$ have been the topic of intensive study for the past century. Ramanujan proved that there are linear congruences of the form $p(\ell n+\beta)\equiv 0\pmod\ell$ for the…

In the case of Siegel modular forms of degree $n$, we prove that, for almost all prime ideals $\frak{p}$ in any ring of algebraic integers, mod $\frak{p}^m$ cusp forms are congruent to true cusp forms of the same weight. As an application…
