This is an anthology of series involving rational, factorial, and power functions expressed in terms of special functions. New finite expansions involving quotient functions expressed in terms of the Hurwitz-Lerch zeta function are given.…

We generalize Dirichlet's diophantine approximation theorem to approximating any real number $\alpha$ by a sum of two rational numbers $\frac{a_1}{q_1} + \frac{a_2}{q_2}$ with denominators $1 \leq q_1, q_2 \leq N$. This turns out to be…

We represent the Riemann zeta function in the half-plane $\Re s >1$ via series whose terms admit geometrically decreasing bounds. Due to an underlying recurrence relation, which is used to compute coefficients entering into the terms, the…

In the proof of the irrationality of $\zeta(3)$ and $\zeta(2)$, Ap\'ery defined two integer sequences through $3$-term recurrences, which are known as the famous Ap\'ery numbers. Zagier, Almkvist--Zudilin and Cooper successively introduced…

We establish a polynomial recursion formula for linear Hodge integrals. It is obtained as the Laplace transform of the cut-and-join equation for the simple Hurwitz numbers. We show that the recursion recovers the Witten-Kontsevich theorem…

Starting from the Rodrigues representation of polynomial solutions of the general hypergeometric-type differential equation complementary polynomials are constructed using a natural method. Among the key results is a generating function in…

In this paper we present a new approach to prove effective results in Diophantine approximation. We then use it to prove an effective theorem on the simultaneous approximation of two algebraic numbers satisfying an algebraic equation with…

We give a new hypergeometric construction of rational approximations to $\zeta(4)$, which absorbs the earlier one from 2003 based on Bailey's ${}_9F_8$ hypergeometric integrals. With the novel ingredients we are able to get a better control…

The often elusive Poincar\'e recurrence can be witnessed in a completely separable system. For such systems, the problem of recurrence reduces to the classic mathematical problem of simultaneous Diophantine approximation of multiple…

We use visible point vector identities to examine polylogarithms in the neighbourhood of the Riemann zeta function zeroes. New formulas limiting to the trivial zeroes and to the critical line on the zeta function are given. Similar results…

Gallagher's theorem is a sharpening and extension of the Littlewood conjecture that holds for almost all tuples of real numbers. We provide a fibre refinement, solving a problem posed by Beresnevich, Haynes and Velani in 2015. Hitherto,…

For a given irrational number, we consider the properties of best rational approximations of given parities. There are three different kinds of rational numbers according to the parity of the numerator and denominator, say odd/odd, even/odd…

A multidimensional generalization of Bailey's very-well-poised bilateral basic hypergeometric ${}_6\psi_6$ summation formula and its Dougall type ${}_5H_5$ hypergeometric degeneration for $q\to 1$ is studied. The multiple Bailey sum amounts…

Multiple zeta values arise as special values of polylogarithms defined on Riemann surfaces of various genera. Building on the vast knowledge for classical and elliptic multiple zeta values, we explore a canonical extension of the formalism…

Starting from the data of an arbor, which is a rooted tree with vertices decorated by disjoint sets, we introduce a lattice polytope and a partial order on its lattice points. We give recursive algorithms for various classical invariants of…

We describe a theoretical and effective algorithm which enables us to prove that rather general hypergeometric series and integrals can be decomposed as linear combinations of multiple zeta values, with rational coefficients.

In this paper we introduce and study double tails of multiple zeta values. We show, in particular, that they satisfy certain recurrence relations and deduce from this a generalization of Euler's classical formula…

The aim of the work is to construct new polynomial systems, which are solutions to certain functional equations which generalize the second-order differential equations satisfied by the so called classical orthogonal polynomial families of…

It is commonly known that $\zeta(2k) = q_{k}\frac{\zeta(2k + 2)}{\pi^2}$ with known rational numbers $q_{k}$. In this work we construct recurrence relations of the form $\sum_{k = 1}^{\infty}r_{k}\frac{\zeta(2k + 1)}{\pi^{2k}} = 0$ and show…

We obtain extensions of classical hypergeometric identities of Bailey and Whipple that transform nearly-poised and very-well-poised series to Saalsch\"utzian series, Saalsch\"utzian series to Saalsch\"utzian series, and very-well-poised and…
