We prove the convergence of the FLINT-HILLS series and establish new criteria for a similar type of diophantine or lacunary series, which faces issues due to spaced long terms coming from the trigonometric nature of functions, e.g.,…

We present a geometric way of describing the irrationality of a number using the area of a circular sector $A(r)$. We establish a connection between this and the continued fraction expansion of the number, and prove bounds for $A(r)$ as…

It is not known whether the Flint Hills series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^3\cdot\sin(n)^2}$ converges. We show that this question is closely related to the irrationality measure of $\pi$, denoted $\mu(\pi)$. In particular, convergence…

It is unknown whether the Flint-Hills series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^3\sin^2(n)}$ converges. Alekseyev (2011) connected this question to the irrationality measure of $\pi$, that $\mu(\pi) > \frac{5}{2}$ would imply divergence of the…

In this note, we study the flint hills series of the form \begin{align} \sum \limits_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{(\sin^2n) n^3}\nonumber \end{align} via a certain method. The method essentially works by erecting certain pillars sufficiently…

We develop, from first principles, a theory connecting the algebra of the Stirling-cosecant decomposition csc^q(z) = sum_k a_{q,k} V_k(z) + E_q(z) with the irrationality measure mu(pi) and the spectral theory of SL(2, Z), leading to an…
