Abstract

In this paper we provide some relationships between Catalan's constant and the 3F2_3{\rm F}_2 and 4F3_4{\rm F}_3 hypergeometric functions, deriving them from some parametric integrals. In particular, using the complete elliptic integral of the first kind, we found an alternative proof of a result of Ramanujan for 3F2_3{\rm F}_2, a second identity related to 4F3_4{\rm F}_3 and using the complete elliptic integral of the second kind we obtain an identity by Adamchik.
