Ramanujan studied the analytic properties of many $q$-hypergeometric series. Of those, mock theta functions have been particularly intriguing, and by work of Zwegers, we now know how these curious $q$-series fit into the theory of…
This paper treats about one of the most remarkable achievements by Riemann, that is the symmetric form of the functional equation for {\zeta}(s). We present here, after showing the first proof of Riemann, a new, simple and direct proof of…
Properties of four quintic theta functions are developed in parallel with those of the classical Jacobi null theta functions. The quintic theta functions are shown to satisfy analogues of Jacobi's quartic theta function identity and…
In this paper, we utilize operational methods to obtain closed-form solutions for certain classes of integrals in the spirit of Ramanujan's Master Theorem and provide several analogs to it. Although the use of operational calculus makes the…
In this article we present evaluations of continued fractions studied by Ramanujan. More precisely we give the complete polynomial equations of Rogers-Ramanujan and other continued fractions, using tools from the elementary theory of the…
In this note, it is shown that the Ramanujan Master Theorem (RMT) when n is a positive integer can be obtained, as a special case, from a new integral formula. Furthermore, we give a simple proof of the RMT when n is not an integer.
One of the celebrated formulas of Ramanujan is about odd zeta values, which has been studied by many mathematicians over the years. A notable extension was given by Grosswald in 1972. Following Ramanujan's idea, we rediscovered a…
In this paper we prove theorems related to the Ramanujan-type series for $1/\pi$ (type $_3F_2$) and to the Ramanujan-like series, discovered by the author, for $1/\pi^2$ (type $_5F_4$). Our developments for the cases $_3 F_2$ and $_5 F_4$…
We prove a recent conjecture, due to Vigren and Dieckmann, about an explicit triple sum formula for a series from Ramanujan's Notebooks. We shall give two proofs: the first one is by evaluation and based on the identity \begin{equation*}…
An integer-valued polynomial $P(x,y,z)$ is said to be universal (over $\mathbb Z$) if each nonnegative integer can be written as $P(x,y,z)$ with $x,y,z\in\mathbb Z$. In this paper, we mainly introduce a new technique to determine the…
All arithmetical functions $F$ satisfying Ramanujan Conjecture, i.e., $F(n)\ll_{\varepsilon}n^{\varepsilon}$, and with $Q-$smooth divisors, i.e., with Eratosthenes transform $F':=F\ast \mu$ supported in $Q-$smooth numbers, have a kind of…
We continue our study of convolution sums of two arithmetical functions $f$ and $g$, of the form $\sum_{n \le N} f(n) g(n+h)$, in the context of heuristic asymptotic formul\ae. Here, the integer $h\ge 0$ is called, as usual, the {\it shift}…
We consider two-parameter generalizations of Hecke-Appell type expansions for the generating functions of unimodal and special unimodal sequences. We then determine their explicit representations which involve mixed false theta functions.…
The sum $S(h,k):=\sum_{j=1}^{k-1}(-1)^{j+1+[hj/k]}$ appears in the modular transformation formulae of the classical theta function $\vartheta_3(z)$. The double sum $S(k) := \sum_{h=1}^{k-1}S(h,k)$ has a remarkable distribution of values.…
Recently, Keith investigated arithmetic properties for the reciprocals of some false theta functions and posed several conjectures. In this paper, we prove some parity results for the reciprocals of some false theta functions by using some…
We give a polynomial time algorithm for computing the Igusa local zeta function $Z(s,f)$ attached to a polynomial $f(x)\in \QTR{Bbb}{Z}[x]$, in one variable, with splitting field $\QTR{Bbb}{Q}$, and a prime number $p$. We also propose a new…
This note is concerned with series of the forms $\sum f(a^n)$ and $\sum f(n^{-a})$ where f(a) possesses a Mellin transform and $a > 1$ or $a<0$ respectively. Integral representations are derived and used to transform these series in several…
In this paper, we show that the classical Cassini and Catalan identities for Fibonacci numbers arise naturally from a single quadratic theta-function identity of Ramanujan. Expanding the identity…
For positive integers $m$ we consider the theta functions $f_m(z):=\sum_{mk+1\text{ square }}q^k$. Due to classical identities of Jacobi, it is known that $$f_4\equiv f_6f_{12}\pmod 2.$$ Here we prove that the only triples $(a,b,c)$ for…
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…
