The Ramanujan Machine project predicts new continued fraction representations of numbers expressed by important mathematical constants. Generally, the value of a continued fraction is found by reducing it to a second order linear difference…

If the equation of the title has an integer solution with $k\ge2$, then $m>10^{9.3\cdot10^6}$. This was the current best result and proved using a method due to L. Moser (1953). This approach cannot be improved to reach the benchmark…

Famous Zaremba's conjecture (1971) states that for each positive integer $q\geq2$, there exists positive integer $1\leq a <q$, coprime to $q$, such that if you expand a fraction $a/q$ into a continued fraction $a/q=[a_1,\ldots,a_n]$, all of…

We show, for each $q$-continued fraction $G(q)$ in a certain class of continued fractions, that there is an uncountable set of points on the unit circle at which $G(q)$ diverges in the general sense. This class includes the Rogers-Ramanujan…

We call an $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$ regainingly approximable if there exists a computable nondecreasing sequence $(a_n)_n$ of rational numbers converging to $\alpha$ with $\alpha - a_n < 2^{-n}$ for infinitely many $n \in \mathbb{N}$. We…

In this short note we prove two elegant generalized continued fraction formulae $$e= 2+\cfrac{1}{1+\cfrac{1}{2+\cfrac{2}{3+\cfrac{3}{4+\ddots}}}}$$ and $$e= 3+\cfrac{-1}{4+\cfrac{-2}{5+\cfrac{-3}{6+\cfrac{-4}{7+\ddots}}}}$$ using elementary…

In this paper we present a family of continued fraction expansions for $e^n$, with $n\ge 1$, with a simple expression having partial denominators given by arithmetic progressions. We give an estimate for the convergence speed showing that…

We study the quotient of hypergeometric functions \begin{equation*} \mu_{a}^*(r)=\frac{\pi}{2\sin{(\pi a)}}\frac{F(a,1-a;1;1-r^3)}{F(a,1-a;1;r^3)} \quad (r\in(0,1)) \end{equation*} in the theory of Ramanujan's generalized modular equation…

In \cite{d4}, we gave a method to construct a continued fraction of the function $F(x):=e^{x}E_{1}(x)$. More precisely we define $F_{1}(x)$ as the reciprocal of $F(x)$ and we inductively define $F_{m}(x)$ as the reciprocal of ``$F_{m-1}(x)$…

We show that the growth rate of denominator $Q_n$ of the $n$-th convergent of negative expansion of $x$ and the rate of approximation: $$ \frac{\log{n}}{n}\log{\left|x-\frac{P_n}{Q_n}\right|}\rightarrow -\frac{\pi^2}{3} \quad \text{in…

For any real number $x \in [0,1)$, we denote by $q_n(x)$ the denominator of the $n$-th convergent of the continued fraction expansion of $x$ $(n \in \mathbb{N})$. It is well-known that the Lebesgue measure of the set of points $x \in [0,1)$…

We evaluate in closed form, for the first time, certain classes of double series, which are remindful of lattice sums. Elliptic functions, singular moduli, class invariants, and the Rogers--Ramanujan continued fraction play central roles in…

Via the MC-algorithm, in this paper we produce seven continued fraction formulae involving products and quotients of three gamma functions with three parameters, and another is an extension of Entry 34 in Chapter 12 of Ramanujan's second…

In 1961, Baker, Gammel and Wills conjectured that for functions $f$ meromorphic in the unit ball, a subsequence of its diagonal Pad\'{e} approximants converges uniformly in compact subsets of the ball omitting poles of $f$. There is also…

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…

In the present work, we established continued fractions of level eighteen, twenty six and thirty. Further, we obtained vanishing coefficients and many algebraic relations. To validate our result colored partitions are also obtained.

We prove that the classical theta function $\theta_4$ may be expressed as $$ \theta_4(v,\tau) = \theta_4(0,\tau) \exp[- \sum_{p\geq 1} \sum_{k\geq 0} \frac {1}{p} \bigg(\frac {\sin \pi v}{(\sin (k+{1/2})\pi \tau)}\bigg)^{2p}].$$ We obtain…

The Rogers-Ramanujan recursions are studied from the viewpoint of free representations over free (generalized) vertex algebras. Specifically, we construct short exact sequences among the free representations over free generalized vertex…

We suggest a continued fraction origin to Ramanujan's approximation to {(a-b)/(a+b)}^2 in terms of the arc length of an ellipse with semiaxes a and b. Moreover, we discuss the asymptotic accuracy of the approximation.

In this article we use theoretical and numerical methods to evaluate in a closed-exact form the parameters of Ramanujan type $1/\pi$ formulas.
