Ramanujan Master Theorem is a technique developed by the indian mathematician S. Ramanujan to evaluate a class of definite integrals. This technique is used here to calculate the values of integrals associated with specific Feynman…
Ramanujan's $q$-continued fractions are a central part of Ramanujan's development of basic hypergeometric series. They appear in Chapter 16 of Part III and Chapter 32 of Part V of {\em Ramanujan's Notebooks} edited by Berndt, and in Volume…
The aim of this paper is to present a comprehensive survey of cubic Fibonacci identities, trying to uncover as many as possible. From the outset, our rationale for a very careful search on an apparently obscure problem was not only a matter…
Diophantine approximation explores how well irrational numbers can be approximated by rationals, with foundational results by Dirichlet, Hurwitz, and Liouville culminating in Roth's theorem. Schmidt's subspace theorem extends Roth's results…
The recent work by Marcus, Spielman and Srivastava proves the existence of bipartite Ramanujan (multi)graphs of all degrees and all sizes. However, that paper did not provide a polynomial time algorithm to actually compute such graphs.…
It is shown how many of the partial theta function identities in Ramanujan's lost notebook can be generalized to infinite families of such identities. Key in our construction is the Bailey lemma and a new generalization of the Jacobi triple…
In this article we present evaluations of continued fractions studied by Ramanujan. More precisely we give the complete polynomial equations of Rogers-Ramanujan and other continued fractions, using tools from the elementary theory of the…
Andrews studied a function which appears in Ramanujan's identities. In Ramanujan's "Lost" Notebook, there are several formulas involving this function, but they are not as simple as the identities with other similar shape of functions.…
Srinivasa Ramanujan posed a problem on infinite nested radical of the square root in the Journal of Indian Mathematical Society in 1911. He had generated the problem years before in the form of an example illustrating a more general…
One can hardly believe that there is still something to be said about cubic equations. To dodge this doubt, we will instead try and say something about Sylvester. He doubtless found a way of solving cubic equations. As mentioned by Rota, it…
Generalizing an argument of Matiyasevich, we illustrate a method to generate infinitely many diophantine equations whose solutions can be completely described by linear recurrences. In particular, we provide an integer-coefficient…
In this paper we find a parametric solution to the hitherto unsolved problem of finding three positive integers such that their sum, the sum of their squares and the sum of their cubes are simultaneously perfect squares.
In this note we recall the definition of the digital root, and apply the notion of the digital root to searching solutions of Diophantine equations. A table of arithmetic operations with digital roots is given. This method is incapable of…
On page 206 in his lost notebook, Ramanujan recorded a seventh degree identity for his theta function $\varphi(q)$. We give an analogous ninth degree identity. We also provide an application of an entry from his second notebook on a cubic…
A new sums-of-tails identity involving two parameters $b$ and $d$ is obtained and is used to derive more results of similar type. One of Ramanujan's sums-of-tails identities from the Lost Notebook is shown to be a special case of our…
We investigate approximation to a given real number by algebraic numbers and algebraic integers of prescribed degree. We deal with both best and uniform approximation, and highlight the similarities and differences compared with the…
Page 27 of Ramanujan's Lost Notebook contains a beautiful identity which not only gives, as a special case, a famous modular relation between the Rogers-Ramanujan functions $G(q)$ and $H(q)$ but also a relation between two fifth order mock…
Ramanujan found five solutions to the exponential Diophantine equation $z^2+7= 2^n$ where $z$ and $n$ are positive integers, and posed the problem of determining whether there are any more. Nagell was the first to prove that there were not.…
We show that identities involving trigonometric sums recently proved by Harshitha, Vasuki and Yathirajsharma, using Ramanujan's theory of theta functions, were either already in the literature or can be proved easily by adapting results…
The present work includes some of the author's original researches on integer solutions of Diophantine liner equations and systems. The notion of "general integer solution" of a Diophantine linear equation with two unknowns is extended to…
