Motivated by Andrews' partitions with initial repetitions, we derive parity formulas for several functions for this class of partitions. In many cases, we present an infinite family of Ramanujan-like congruences modulo 2.

Generalized digamma functions $\psi_k(x)$, studied by Ramanujan, Deninger, Dilcher, Kanemitsu, Ishibashi etc., appear as the Laurent series coefficients of the zeta function associated to an indefinite quadratic form. In this paper, a…

Integer partitions have long been of interest to number theorists, perhaps most notably Ramanujan, and are related to many areas of mathematics including combinatorics, modular forms, representation theory, analysis, and mathematical…

On page 3 of his lost notebook, Ramanujan defines the Appell-Lerch sum $$\phi(q):=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \dfrac{(-q;q)_{2n}q^{n+1}}{(q;q^2)_{n+1}^2},$$ which is connected to some of his sixth order mock theta functions. Let $\sum_{n=1}^\infty…

Integration at a point is a new kind of integration derived from integration over an interval in infinitesimal and infinity domains which are spaces larger than the reals. Consider a continuous monotonic divergent function that is…

A simple integration by parts and telescopic cancellation leads to a rigorous derivation of the first 2 terms for the error in Ramanujan's asymptotic series for the nth partial sum of the harmonic series. Then Kummer's transformation gives…

Analytic evaluation of Gordon's integral $$\operatorname {J}_c^{j(\pm p)}(b,b';\lambda,w,z)=\int_0^\infty x^{c+j-1}e^{-\lambda x}{}_1F_1(b;c;wx){}_1F_1(b';c\pm p;zx)dx,$$ are given along with convergence conditions. It shows enormous number…

We associate some (old) convergent series related to definite integrals with the cyclotomic equation $x^m-1= 0$, for several natural numbers $m$; for example, for $m = 3$, $x^3-1 = (x-1)(1+x+x^2)$, leads to $\int_0^1dx\frac{1}{(1+x+x^2)} =…

In this paper we connect a celebrated theorem of Nyman and Beurling on the equivalence between the Riemann hypothesis and the density of some functional space in $ L^2(0, 1)$ to a trigonometric series considered first by Hardy and…

A conjectured relation between Ramanujan's asymptotic approximations to the exponential function and the exponential integral is established. The proof involves Stirling numbers, second-order Eulerian numbers, modifications of both of…

It is argued that for certain meromorphic functions $u:\cal{R}\rightarrow\cal{R}$ and analytic function $ A_1$ and for any integrable function $F$, as long as it converges as a Cauchy Principal Value,, $$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}A_1(x)F[u(x)]…

We introduce a natural geometric framework for the study of logarithmically divergent integrals on manifolds with corners and algebraic varieties, using the techniques of logarithmic geometry. Key to the construction is a new notion of…

We use recurrences of integrals to give new and elementary proofs of the irrationality of pi, tan(r) for all nonzero rational r, and cos(r) for all nonzero rational r^2. Immediate consequences to other values of the elementary…

Let A be a set of nonnegative integers. For every nonnegative integer n and positive integer h, let r_{A}(n,h) denote the number of representations of n in the form n = a_1 + a_2 + ... + a_h, where a_1, a_2,..., a_h are elements of A and…

Consider a collection $\lambda_1<...<\lambda_N$ of distinct positive integers and the quantities $$ M_1 = M_1(\lambda_1,...,\lambda_N) = \max_{0\le x \le 2\pi} |\sum_{j=1}^N \sin{\lambda_j x}| $$ and $$ M_2 = M_2(\lambda_1,...,\lambda_N) =…

Negative dimensional integration method (NDIM) is a technique to deal with D-dimensional Feynman loop integrals. Since most of the physical quantities in perturbative Quantum Field Theory (pQFT) require the ability of solving them, the…

We study orthogonal polynomials associated with a continued fraction due to Hirschhorn. Hirschhorn's continued fraction contains as special cases the famous Rogers--Ramanujan continued fraction and two of Ramanujan's generalizations. The…

This article is written with the hope to draw attention to a method that uses integral transforms to find exact values for a large class of convergent series (and, in particular, series of rational terms). We apply the method to some series…

Very recently, Radchenko and Zagier revived the theory of Herglotz functions. The main goal of the article is to show that one of the formulas on page 220 of Ramanujan's Lost Notebook actually lives in the realms of this theory. As a…

We present a method using contour integration to derive definite integrals and their associated infinite sums which can be expressed as a special function. We give a proof of the basic equation and some examples of the method. The advantage…
