In the spirit of Ramanujan, we derive exponentially fast convergent series for Epstein zeta functions $ E^{\varGamma_0(N)}(z,s)$ on the Hecke congruence groups $ \varGamma_0(N),N\in\mathbb Z_{>0}$, where $z$ is an arbitrary point in the…

The Ramanujan Machine project predicts new continued fraction representations of numbers expressed by important mathematical constants. Generally, the value of a continued fraction is found by reducing it to a second order linear difference…

We revisit several entries from Ramanujan's notebooks which follow from more elementary arguments than a first glance may suggest. Our goal is to demystify these results through more accessible proofs, while also shining some light on the…

We study the properties of a general continued fraction of Ramanujan. In some certain cases we evaluate it completely.

A series transformation idea inspired by a formula of R. W. Gosper and some asymptotic expansions for the central binomial coefficients leads us to new accurate approximations for the Gamma function.

In this short note we use the umbral formalism to derive the Ramanujan Master Theorem and discuss its extension to more general cases.

A map is a panorama in small scale. In this half-survey, half-research paper we give general results on Ramanujan expansions. We don't include the ocean of results from the literature on the two classes (see Schwarz-Spilker Book, also…

Harmonic polylogarithms $\H(\vec{a};x)$, a generalization of Nielsen's polylogarithms ${S}_{n,p}(x)$, appear frequently in analytic calculations of radiative corrections in quantum field theory. We present an algorithm for the numerical…

We derive the asymptotic formula for $p_n(N,M)$, the number of partitions of integer $n$ with part size at most $N$ and length at most $M$. We consider both $N$ and $M$ are comparable to $\sqrt{n}$. This is an extension of the classical…

Let $\Bbb Z$ and $\Bbb Z^+$ be the set of integers and the set of positive integers, respectively. For $a,b,c,d,n\in\Bbb Z^+$ let $t(a,b,c,d;n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by $ax(x+1)/2+by(y+1)/2+cz(z+1)/2+dw(w+1)/2$…

Harmonic sums and their generalizations are extremely useful in the evaluation of higher-order perturbative corrections in quantum field theory. Of particular interest have been the so-called nested sums,where the harmonic sums and their…

The computation of Dalzell integrals $\int_0^1 \frac{x^m (1-x)^n}{1+x^2} \, dx > 0$ gives new error estimates for the partial sums of the Gregory-Leibniz series $1 - \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{7} \pm \ldots$ and for the…

We develop new closed form representations of sums of (n + {\alpha})th shifted harmonic numbers and reciprocal binomial coefficients in terms of {\alpha}th shifted harmonic numbers. Some interesting new consequences and illustrative…

We make explicit a theorem of Pintz concerning the error term in the prime number theorem. This gives an improved version of the prime number theorem with error term roughly square-root of that which was previously known. We apply this to a…

It is a popular paradoxical exercise to show that the infinite sum of positive integer numbers is equal to -1/12, sometimes called the Ramanujan sum. Here we propose a qualitative approach, much like that of a physicist, to show how the…

We revisit old conjectures of Fermat and Euler regarding representation of integers by binary quadratic form x^2+5y^2. Making use of Ramanujan's_1\psi_1 summation formula we establish a new Lambert series identity for…

Two types of finite series of products of harmonic numbers involving nonnegative integer powers are evaluated, also yielding two other important harmonic number identities. The recursion formulas for these sums are derived, which are easily…
