In 1914, Ramanujan presented a collection of 17 elegant and rapidly converging formulae for $\pi$. Among these, one of the most celebrated is the following series:…
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…
We state and prove a claim of Ramanujan. As a consequence, a large class of Saalchutzian hypergeometric series is summed in closed form.
Using the machinery from the theory of Calabi-Yau differential equations, we find formulas for $1/\pi^2$ of hypergeometric and non-hypergeometric types.
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.…
The hypergeometric formulae designed by Ramanujan more than a century ago for efficient approximation of $\pi$, Archimedes' constant, remain an attractive object of arithmetic study. In this note we discuss some $q$-analogues of…
We have found several summation formulas that extend Ramanujan's psi sum. First contains a parameter $\alpha=1/N$, $N$ is a positive integer, and transforms to $q$-beta integral in the limit $N\to\infty$. The other is a $q$-analogue of…
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.…
"Divergent" Ramanujan-type series for $1/\pi$ and $1/\pi^2$ provide us with new nice examples of supercongruences of the same kind as those related to the convergent cases. In this paper we manage to prove three of the supercongruences by…
In this paper, we evaluate in closed forms two families of infinite integrals containing hyperbolic and trigonometric functions in their integrands. We call them Berndt-type integrals since he initiated the study of similar integrals. We…
Applying the triplicate form of the extended Gould--Hsu inverse series relations to Dougall's summation theorem for the well--poised $_7F_6$-series, we establish, from the dual series, several interesting Ramanujan--like infinite series…
We present algorithms to evaluate two types of multiple sums, which appear in higher-order loop computations. We consider expansions of a generalized hypergeometric-type sums, $\sum_{n_1,...,n_N} [Gamma(a1.n+c1) Gamma(a2.n}+c2) ...…
Motivated by work of Chan, Chan, and Liu, we obtain a new general theorem which produces Ramanujan-Sato series for $1/\pi$. We then use it to construct explicit examples related to non-compact arithmetic triangle groups, as classified by…
Many of the fastest known algorithms to compute $\pi$ involve generalized hypergeometric series, such as the Ramanujan-Sato series. In this paper, we investigate the rates of convergence for several such series and we give asymptotic…
We consider nested sums involving the Pochhammer symbol at infinity and rewrite them in terms of a small set of constants, such as powers of $\pi,$ $\log(2)$ or zeta values. In order to perform these simplifications, we view the series as…
An application of (iterated) Bauer-Muir acceleration can give an Ap\'ery-like continued fraction for $\pi$ with irrational coefficients, and much faster convergence. It can be considered a generalized continued fraction with the same matrix…

The celebrated Zeilberger algorithm which finds holonomic recurrence equations for definite sums of hypergeometric terms $F(n,k)$ is extended to certain nonhypergeometric terms. An expression $F(n,k)$ is called a hypergeometric term if both…
In 1981, Andrews gave a four-variable generalization of Ramanujan's ${_1\psi_1}$ summation formula. We establish a six-variable generalization of Andrews' identity according to the transformation formula for two ${_8\phi_7}$ series and…
We prove a remarkable formula of Ramanujan for the logarithmic derivative of the gamma function, which converges more rapidly than classical expansions, and which is stated without proof in Ramanujan's notebooks. The formula has a number of…
