The sum in the title is a rational multiple of pi^n for all integers n=2,3,4,... for which the sum converges absolutely. This is equivalent to a celebrated theorem of Euler. Of the many proofs that have appeared since Euler, a simple one…
We prove a Ramanujan-type formula for $520/\pi$ conjectured by Sun. Our proof begins with a hypergeometric representation of the relevant double series, which relies on a recent generating function for Legendre polynomials by Wan and…
In this paper, we deduce a family of six new series for $1/\pi$; for example, $$\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{41673840n+4777111}{5780^n}W_n\left(\frac{1444}{1445}\right) =\frac{147758475}{\sqrt{95}\,\pi}$$ where $W_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom…
The first globally convergent numerical method is developed for a coefficient inverse problem (CIP) for the $n-$d, $n\geq 2$ wave equation with the unknown potential in the most challenging case when the $\delta -$ function is present in…
In our previous publication we have shown a method for calculating series of even powers of $\pi$ based on the product representation of the $sinc$ function. We refer the readers to [1] for more details. In this work we apply the method to…
Egyptologists and historians of mathematics around 1930 did an admirable job in showing that problem 14 of the newly discovered Moscow Papyrus from around 1850 BCE amounts to a general and exact calculation of the volume of a truncated…
The Basel problem, solved by Leonhard Euler in 1734, asks to resolve $\zeta(2)$, the sum of the reciprocals of the squares of the natural numbers, i.e. the sum of the infinite series: \begin{equation}…
A non-traditional proof of the Gregory-Leibniz series, based on the relationships among the zeta function, Bernoulli coefficients, and the Laurent expansion of the cotangent is given. New series for calculating pi are obtained.
The constant $\pi$ has fascinated scholars throughout the centuries, inspiring numerous formulas for its evaluation, such as infinite sums and continued fractions. Despite their individual significance, many of the underlying connections…
Recently, the authors with Lea Beneish established a recipe for constructing Ramanujan-Sato series for $1/\pi$, and used this to construct 11 explicit examples of Ramanujan-Sato series arising from modular forms for arithmetic triangle…
Early 17th-century mathematical publications of Johann Faulhaber contain some remarkable theorems, such as the fact that the $r$-fold summation of $1^m,2^m,...,n^m$ is a polynomial in $n(n+r)$ when $m$ is a positive odd number. The present…
Few among us would know that the first mention of the sine and the enumeration of the first sine table are to be credited to Aryabhata. The method to generate this relies on the sine difference formula which is derived using ingenious…
This paper investigates the parallelization of Dijkstra's algorithm for computing the shortest paths in large-scale graphs using MPI and CUDA. The primary hypothesis is that by leveraging parallel computing, the computation time can be…
The author gives the full list of his conjectures on series for powers of $\pi$ and other important constants scattered in some of his public papers or his private diaries. The list contains 234 reasonable conjectural series. On the list…
In 1968, M. Artin proved that any formal power series solution of a system of analytic equations may be approximated by convergent power series solutions. Motivated by this result and a similar result of P{\l}oski, he conjectured that this…
During a first St. Petersburg period Leonhard Euler, in his early twenties, became interested in the Basel problem: summing the series of inverse squares (posed by Pietro Mengoli in mid 17th century). In the words of Andre Weil (1989) "as…
The ratio of the circumference, C, of a circle to its diameter, D, is a constant number denoted by $\pi$ and is independent of the size of the circle. It is known that $\pi$ is an irrational number and therefore cannot be expressed as a…
This study reconstructs the origin of a constant, here called $\Xi$ (Xi), as a primary scaling factor in Old Babylonian mathematics and astronomy. $\Xi$ arises from the practical necessity of precise measurements on the sky or a circle,…
We prove rational alternating Ramanujan-type series of level $1$ discovered by the brothers David and Gregory Chudnovky, by using a method of the author. We have carried out the computations with Maple (a symbolic software for mathematics).
The Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens refined Archimedes' celebrated geometrical computation of $\pi$ to its highest point. Yet the rich content of his beautiful treatise \emph{De circuli magnitudine inventa} (1654) has apparently never…
