In the first part we establish a connection between the Euler-Maclaurin summation formula and the Rota-Baxter functional equation. In the second part we give a simple proof of a formula, due to Ramanujan, on the summation of certain…
We study Ramanujan's cubic continued fraction and explicit evaluations of theta-functions
A two-term functional equation for an infinite series involving the digamma function and a logarithmic factor is derived. A modular relation on page 220 of Ramanujan's Lost Notebook as well as a corresponding recent result for the…
The recurrence matrix relations, differentiation formulas, and analytical and fractional integral properties of incomplete gamma matrix functions $\gamma(Q, x)$ and $\Gamma(Q, x)$ are all covered in this article. The generalized incomplete…
We find, in the form of a continued fraction, the generating function for the number of (132)-avoiding permutations that have a given number of (123) patterns, and show how to extend this to permutations that have exactly one (132) pattern.…
The goal of this paper is to formulate a systematical method for constructing the fastest possible continued fraction approximations of a class of functions. The main tools are the multiple-correction method, the generalized Mortici's lemma…
Several continued fraction expansions for $e$ have been produced by an automated conjecture generator (ACG) called \emph{The Ramanujan Machine}. Some of these were already known, some have recently been proved and some remain unproven.…
In this paper we consider error sums of the form \[\sum_{m=0}^{\infty} \varepsilon_m\Big( \,b_m\alpha - \frac{a_m}{c_m}\,\Big) \,,\] where $\alpha$ is a real number, $a_m$, $b_m$, $c_m$ are integers, and $\varepsilon_m=1$ or $\varepsilon_m…
This paper develops an approach to the evaluation of infinite series involving hyperbolic functions. By using the approach, we give explicit formulas for several classes of series of hyperbolic functions in terms of Riemann zeta values.…
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…
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 involving even…
In his book entitled Divergent Series, Hardy makes various references to divergent series of sine functions. In this paper, we show how such series may be treated rigorously and, in particular, we revisit Entry 17(v) in Ramanujan's…
In this paper, we give a generate function for the $\sigma_1$ function. Then we find some connections between the $\sigma_1$ function and the Ramanujan's tau function. We hope this connection will give some insights into the unsolved…
Let $K$ be a number field. This paper considers arithmetic functions over $K$, that are, complex valued functions on the set of nonzero integral ideals in $K$. Firstly we generalize some basic results on arithmetic functions. Next we define…
The purpose of this article is to present closed forms for various types of infinite series involving Fibonacci (Lucas) numbers and the Riemann zeta function at integer arguments.
Many generalizations of continued fractions, where the reciprocal function has been replaced by a more general function, have been studied, and it is often asked whether such generalized expansions can have nice properties. For instance, we…
This paper is a tribute to the genius of the legendary Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan (22 December 1887 - 26 April 1920) in the centenary year of his death. The life story of Ramanujan is so well known that it needs no elaboration…
We present here a way to evaluate a very wide class of integrals relating Ramanujans continued fraction and q-product. To do this we explore briefily a differential equation, which relates these two functions
In this article we give the theoretical background for generating Ramanujan type $1/\pi^{2\nu}$ formulas. As applications of our method we give a general construction of $1/\pi^4$ series and examples of $1/\pi^6$ series. We also study the…
We consider integer sequences that satisfy a recursion of the form $x_{n+1} = P(x_n)$ for some polynomial $P$ of degree $d > 1$. If such a sequence tends to infinity, then it satisfies an asymptotic formula of the form $x_n \sim A…
