In this paper we present experimental ways of evaluating Ramanujan`s quantities which as someone can see are related with algebraic numbers. The good thing with algebraic numbers is that can be found in a closed form, from there…
Throughout his entire mathematical life, Ramanujan loved to evaluate definite integrals. One can find them in his problems submitted to the \emph{Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society}, notebooks, Quarterly Reports to the University of…
Using a pair of two variable series-product identities recorded by Ramanujan in the lost notebook as inspiration, we find some new identities of similar type. Each identity immediately implies an infinite family of Rogers-Ramanujan type…
We give new nested radical equations of similar kind to Ramanujan's questions to the Indian Mathematical Society 100 years ago. While many have since considered these from the perspectives of the Notebooks of Ramanujan and from the theory…
The primary purpose of this paper is to provide a survey of properties, values, identities, and generalizations of the Rogers--Ramanujan continued fraction, which is closely related to the Rogers--Ramanujan identities. Many of these results…
I present here a collection of formulas inspired from the Ramanujan Notebooks. These formulas were found using an experimental method based on three widely available symbolic computation programs: PARI-Gp, Maple and Mathematica. A new…
An identity by Ramanujan related to the multisection of Bernoulli numbers is revisited. Two alternative approaches are proposed, both relying on the multisection technique. A geometric approach reveals the role played by the symmetries of…
Inspired by the recent pioneering work, dubbed "The Ramanujan Machine" by Raayoni et al. (arXiv:1907.00205), we (automatically) [rigorously] prove some of their conjectures regarding the exact values of some specific infinite continued…
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…
A series of formula is presented that are all inspired by the Ramanujan Notebooks [6]. One of them appears in the notebooks II about Zeta(3). That formula inspired others that appeared in 1998, 2006 and 2009 on the author's website and…
The goal of this work is to formulate a systematical method for looking for the simple closed form or continued fraction representation of a class of rational series. As applications, we obtain the continued fraction representations for the…
In this paper we want to prove some formulas listed by S. Ramanujan in his paper "Modular equations and approximations to $\pi$" \cite{24} with an elementary method.
In this article we present ways to evaluate certain sums, products and continued fractions using tools from the theory of elliptic functions. The specific results appear to be new, although similar ones can be found in the leterature; in…
We examine an identity originally stated in Ramanujan's ``lost notebook'' and first proven algebraically by Andrews and combinatorially by Kim. We give two independent combinatorial proofs and interpretations of this identity, which also…
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,…
Ramanujan derived the well known divergent-sum of integers in more than one way. We generalise the informal method to higher powers of the Riemann zeta function through a study of the Eulerian numbers in particular. Within the context of…
We generalize Ramanujan method of approximating the smallest root of an equation which is found in Ramanujan Note books, Part-I. We provide simple analytical proof to study convergence of this method. Moreover, we study iterative approach…
In his lost notebook, Ramanujan recorded beautiful identities. These include earlier versions of Koshliakov's formula for the divisor function and the transformation formula for the logarithm of Dedekind's $\eta-$function. In this paper we…
An identity by Ramanujan is expressed using polar coordinates, so that its proof reduces to the verification of an elementary trigonometric identity. This approach produces a few variations on Ramanujan's original identity.
In this short research note, we aim to establish an interesting extension of a summation due to Ramanujan.The result is derived with the help of an extension of Gauss's summation theorem available in the literature.
