We show that the series expansions of certain $q$-products have \textit{matching coefficients} with their reciprocals. Several of the results are associated to Ramanujan's continued fractions. For example, let $R(q)$ denote the…

In this paper, we establish the irrationality of some open problems in mathematics based on using a recursive formula that generate the complete sequence of numbers. see [1] But before getting into that we begin with some Ramanujan notable…

Tuenter [Fibonacci Quarterly 40 (2002), 175-180] and other authors have considered centred binomial sums of the form \[S_r(n) = \sum_k \binom{2n}{k}|n-k|^r,\] where $r$ and $n$ are non-negative integers. We consider sums of the form…

Ramanujan sums have been studied and generalized by several authors. For example, Nowak studied these sums over quadratic number fields, and Grytczuk defined that on semigroups. In this note, we deduce some properties on sums of generalized…

For a set $A$ of non-negative integers, let $R_A(n)$ denote the number of solutions to the equation $n=a+a'$ with $a$, $a'\in A$. Denote by $\chi_A(n)$ the characteristic function of $A$. Let $b_n>0$ be a sequence satisfying $\limsup_{n\to…

In this paper, we consider a general form of the analogue of Ramanujan's sum in the ring of polynomials over a finite field. We first prove some multiplicative properties of such functions before considering their finite Fourier series and…

Quite recently, the first author investigated vanishing coefficients of the arithmetic progressions in several $q$-series expansions. In this paper, we further study the signs of coefficients in two $q$-series expansions and establish some…

We study in detail the Ramanujan smooth expansions, for arithmetic functions; we start with the most general ones, for which we supply the "$P-$local expansions", for arguments with all prime-factors $p\le P$ (namely, $P-$smooth arguments),…

In a 1916 paper, Ramanujan studied the additive convolution $S_{a, b}(n)$ of sum-of-divisors functions $\sigma_a(n)$ and $\sigma_b(n)$, and proved an asymptotic formula for it when $a$ and $b$ are positive odd integers. He also conjectured…

Suppose that some harmonic analysis arguments have been invoked to show that the indicator function of a set of residue classes modulo some integer has a large Fourier coefficient. To get information about the structure of the set of…

In 1914, Ramanujan gave a list of 17 identities expressing $1/\pi$ as linear combinations of values of hypergeometric functions at certain rational numbers. Since then, identities of similar nature have been discovered by many authors.…

Via symbolic computation we deduce 97 new type series for powers of $\pi$ related to Ramanujan-type series. Here are three typical examples: $$\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{P(k) \binom{2k}k\binom{3k}k…

In the present work, we extend current research in a nearly-forgotten but newly revived topic, initiated by P. A. MacMahon, on a generalized notion which relates the divisor sums to the theory of integer partitions and two infinite families…

We show that the absolute convergence of a Ramanujan expansion does not guarantee the convergence of its real variable generalization, which is obtained by replacing the integer argument in the Ramanujan sums with a real number. We also…

Let $\beta$ be a positive integer. A generalization of the Ramanujan sum due to Cohen is given by \begin{align} c_{q,\beta }(n) := \sum\limits_{{{(h,{q^\beta })}_\beta } = 1} {{e^{2\pi inh/{q^\beta }}}}, \nonumber \end{align} where $h$…

On pages 338 and 339 in his first notebook, Ramanujan defined the remarkable product of theta-functions $a_{m, n}$. Also he recorded eighteen explicit values depending on two parameters, namely, $m$, and $n$, where these are odd integers.…

This paper investigates Srinivasa Ramanujan's initial intuitive methodology for assigning the finite value -1/12 to the sum of the divergent infinite series of all positive integers. We systematically examine Ramanujan's initial method,…

We call $R_G(a):=\sum_{q=1}^{\infty}G(q)c_q(a)$ the 'Ramanujan series', of coefficient $G:$N$\to$C, where $c_q(a)$ is the well-known Ramanujan sum. We study the convergence of this series (a preliminary step, to study Ramanujan expansions…

In this paper we study Ramanujan sums $c_{\bf m}(\bf n)$, where $ {\bf m}$ and ${\bf n}$ are integral ideals in an arbitrary quadratic number field. We give some new results about the asymptotic behavior of sums of $c_{\bf m}(\bf n)$ over…

We generalize several classical results about Schur functions to the family of cylindric Schur functions. First, we give a combinatorial proof of a Murnaghan--Nakayama formula for expanding cylindric Schur functions in the power-sum basis.…
