The series $$S_k(z)=\sum_{m=1}^{\infty}\frac{m^kz^m}{(\{array}{c} 2m m \{array})}$$ is evaluated in non-recursive closed and analytically continued beyond its domain of convergence $0\le |z|<4$ for $k=0,1,2,\...$. From this we provide a…

In this article, an exact series expansion for the Dottie number (solution of the equation $\cos(x) = x$) is presented. Its derivation consists in combining the Kaplan representation of the Dottie number as a series in odd powers of $\pi$,…

Asymptotic expansions for the Bateman and Havelock functions defined respectively by the integrals \[\frac{2}{\pi}\int_0^{\pi/2} \!\!\!\begin{array}{c} \cos\\\sin\end{array}\!(x\tan u-\nu u)\,du\] are obtained for large real $x$ and large…

We investigate the coefficients of the polynomial \[ S_{m,r}^n(\ell)=r^n+(m+r)^n+(2m+r)^n+\cdots+((\ell-1)m+r)^n. \] We prove that these can be given in terms of Stirling numbers of the first kind and $r$-Whitney numbers of the second kind.…

The spherical principal series representations $\pi(\nu)$ of SL(2,$\mathbb R$) is a family of infinite dimensional representations parametrized by $\nu\in\mathbb C$. The representation $\pi(\nu)$ is irreducible unless $\nu$ is an odd…

Given $\beta\in(1,2)$ and $x\in[0,\frac{1}{\beta-1}]$, a sequence $(\epsilon_{i})_{i=1}^{\infty}\in\{0,1\}^{\mathbb{N}}$ is called a $\beta$-expansion for $x$ if $$x=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}\frac{\epsilon_{i}}{\beta^{i}}.$$ In a recent article…

We present several supercongruences that may be viewed as $p$-adic analogues of Ramanujan-type series for $1/\pi$ and $1/\pi^2$, and prove three of these examples.

A formula for calculating Extensions of (mainly integral) Polynomial Functors is established, based upon projective resolutions. Sample computations are performed, which, in particular, exhibit a surprising non-trivial extension of Divided…

Let $p>3$ be a prime, and let $a$ be a rational p-adic integer with $a\not\equiv 0\pmod p$. In this paper we establish congruences for $$\sum_{k=1}^{(p-1)/2}\frac{\binom ak\binom{-1-a}k}k, \quad\sum_{k=0}^{(p-1)/2}k\binom ak\binom{-1-a}k…

We examine convergent representations for the sum of a decaying exponential and a Bessel function in the form \[\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{e^{-an}}{(\frac{1}{2} bn)^\nu}\,J_\nu(bn),\] where $J_\nu(x)$ is the Bessel function of the first kind…

A non-traditional proof of the Gregory-Leibniz series, based on the relationships among the zeta function, Bernoulli coefficients, and the Laurent expansion of the cotangent is given. New series for calculating pi are obtained.

By applying the partial derivative operator to several summation formulas for hypergeometric series, we prove several double series for $\pi$ in this paper. Similarly, we also establish several $q$-analogues of them.

Using operator algebra, we extend the series for the activity density in a one-dimensional stochastic sandpile with fixed particle density p, the first terms of which were obtained via perturbation theory [R. Dickman and R. Vidigal, J.…

We present a new formula for pi involving nested radicals with rapid convergence. This formula is based on the arctangent function identity with argument $x=\sqrt{2-{{a}_{k-1}}}/{{a}_{k}}$, where \[…

Suppose that the moduli of the coefficients of a power series are 1/n!, while the arguments are arbitrary. If an entire function f represented by such power series decreases exponentially on some ray, then it has to be an exponential. If…
