In the joint work of T.Rivoal and the author, a hypergeometric construction was proposed for studing arithmetic properties of the values of Dirichlet's beta function $\beta(s)$ at even positive integers. The construction gives some bonuses…
In this paper we derive rapidly converging series for Catalan's constant and for Ap\'ery's constant. The method may be easily generalised to produce new series representations for other values of the Riemann zeta function and the Dirichlet…
We report new hypergeometric constructions of rational approximations to Catalan's constant, $\log2$, and $\pi^2$, their connection with already known ones, and underlying "permutation group" structures. Our principal arithmetic achievement…
Two new identities about Catalan numbers are treated with Zeilberger's algorithm and Watson's hypergeometric series evaluation.
We find a generating function expressed as a continued fraction that enumerates ordered trees by the number of vertices at different levels. Several Catalan problems are mapped to an ordered-tree problem and their generating functions also…
In this paper, Riemann's Zeta function with odd positive integer argument is represented as an infinite summation of integer powers of $\pi$ with rational coefficients. Specific values for Apery's Constant and Catalan's Constant are then…
The Ramanujan Machine project detects new expressions related to constants of interest, such as $\zeta$ function values, $\gamma$ and algebraic numbers (to name a few). In particular the project lists a number of conjectures concerning the…
New expressions and bounds for Catalan's and Apery's constants, derived from the half hyperbolic secant distribution, are presented. These constants are obtained by using expressions for the Lorenz curve, the Gini and Theil indices,…
By means of a variational approach we find new series representations both for well known mathematical constants, such as $\pi$ and the Catalan constant, and for mathematical functions, such as the Riemann zeta function. The series that we…
In this paper, we present several novel integral representations of Catalan's constant. We begin by deriving an initial result expressed as a double integral. Subsequently, as a consequence of this result, we establish a general theorem…
It is shown how Andrews' multidimensional extension of Watson's transformation between a very-well-poised $_8\phi_7$-series and a balanced $_4\phi_3$-series can be used to give a straightforward proof of a conjecture of Zudilin and the…
Generating functions related to Catalan words and frequencies of digits are obtained using continued fractions. This is fast, elegant, and flexible. It follows the philosophy of Philippe Flajolet from 1980.
In this article we study solutions to second order linear difference equations with variable coefficients. Under mild conditions we provide closed form solutions using finite continued fraction representations. The proof of the results are…
Ap\'ery's remarkable discovery of rapidly converging continued fractions with small coefficients for $\zeta(2)$ and $\zeta(3)$ has led to a flurry of important activity in an incredible variety of different directions. Our purpose is to…
The long-term goal initiated in this work is to obtain fast algorithms and implementations for definite integration in Almkvist and Zeilberger's framework of (differential) creative telescoping. Our complexity-driven approach is to obtain…
In this paper, we introduce two differential equations arising from the generating function of the Catalan numbers which are `inverses' to each other in some sense. From these differential equations, we obtain some new and explicit…
Recently, A. I. Aptekarev and his collaborators found a sequence of rational approximations to Euler's constant $\gamma$ defined by a third-order homogeneous linear recurrence. In this paper, we give a new interpretation of Aptekarev's…
In this paper we provide some relationships between Catalan's constant and the $_3{\rm F}_2$ and $_4{\rm F}_3$ hypergeometric functions, deriving them from some parametric integrals. In particular, using the complete elliptic integral of…
For $\chi_k$ a self$-$dual primitive Dirichlet character mod $k$ several reduced identities of Dirichlet $L-$functions $L_k(s):=L(s,\chi_k)$, expressed as linear combinations of Hurwitz $\zeta$ functions, are found for $s=2,3$ and some…
In this note, we develop transformation formulae and expansions for the log tangent integral, which are then used to derive series acceleration formulae for certain values of Dirichlet L-functions, such as Catalan's constant. The formulae…
