We present a different proof of the following identity due to Munarini, which generalizes a curious binomial identity of Simons. \begin{align*} \sum_{k=0}^{n}\binom{\alpha}{n-k}\binom{\beta+k}{k}x^k…
Recent work by Pain [1] proposed a systematic approach to evaluating binomial sums involving reciprocals of binomial coefficients via Beta integrals. In particular, a parametric extension (Proposition 6.1) was introduced and claimed to…
In this paper, we prove two supercongruences conjectured by Z.-W. Sun via the Wilf-Zeilberger method. One of them is, for any prime $p>3$, \begin{align*} \sum_{n=0}^{(p-1)/2}\frac{6n+1}{(-512)^n}\binom{2n}n^3&\equiv…
Infinite series of the type Sum{n=1,infinity}(alpha/2)_n_2F_1(-n, b; gamma; y)/(n n!) are investigated. Closed-form sums are obtained for alpha a positive integer alpha=1,2,3, ... The limiting case of b --> infinity, after y is replaced…
Explicit evaluations of the Tornheim-like double series in the form \[ \sum_{n,m=1}^\infty \frac{H_{n+m+s}}{nm\left( n+m+s \right)},\ s\in \mathbb{N\cup } \left\{ 0 \right\} \] and their extensions are given. Furthermore, series of the type…
Two-dimensional (2,2) supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models can be described in (2,2), (2,1) or (1,1) superspaces. Each description emphasizes different aspects of generalized K\"ahler geometry. We investigate the reduction from (2,2) to…
By using the Wilf-Zeilberger method, we prove a novel finite combinatorial identity related to a bivariate generating function for $\zeta(2+r+2s)$ (an extension of a Bailey-Borwein-Bradley Apery-like formula for even zeta values). Such…
An elementary proof is given for a nonterminating "strange" cubic $_7F_6$-series summation formula of Gasper and Rahman, through the modified Abel lemma on summation by parts. As a byproduct, an interesting nonterminating…
The main purpose of this article is to study higher order moments of Kummer sums weighted by $L$-functions using estimates for character sums and analytic methods. The results of this article complement a conjecture of Zhang Wenpeng (2002).…
We describe methods for computing the Kummer function $U(a,b,z)$ for small values of $z$, with special attention to small values of $b$. For these values of $b$ the connection formula that represents $U(a,b,z)$ as a linear combination of…
We find summation identities and transformations for the McCarthy's $p$-adic hypergeometric series by evaluating certain Gauss sums which appear while counting points on the family $$Z_{\lambda}: x_1^d+x_2^d=d\lambda x_1x_2^{d-1}$$ over a…
Kummer's test from 1835 states that the positive series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n$ is convergent if and only if there is a sequence $\{ B_n\}_1^\infty$ of positive numbers such that $B_n\cdot \frac{a_n }{a_{n+1}} -B_{n+1}\geq 1 ,$ for all…
In this paper we continue investigation of the hypergeometric function ${}_4F_3(1)$ as the function of its seven parameters. We deduce several reduction formulas for this function under additional conditions that one of the top parameters…
We derive two generalizations of Gasper's transformation formula for basic hypergeometric series. Using these generalized formulas, we give explicit expressions for the coefficients of three-term relations for the basic hypergeometric…
We define a parametric variant of generalized Euler sums and construct contour integration to give some explicit evaluations of these parametric Euler sums. In particular, we establish several explicit formulas of (Hurwitz) zeta functions,…
Let $\lambda \in \mathbb{Q}\setminus \{0, -1\}$ and $l \geq 2$. Denote by $C_{l,\lambda}$ the nonsingular projective algebraic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ with affine equation given by $$y^l=(x-1)(x^2+\lambda).$$ In this paper we give a…
A Huff curve over a field $K$ is an elliptic curve defined by the equation $ax(y^2-1)=by(x^2-1)$ where $a,b\in K$ are such that $a^2\ne b^2$. In a similar fashion, a general Huff curve over $K$ is described by the equation…
In this note we state (with minor corrections) and give an alternative proof of a very general hypergeometric transformation formula due to Slater. As an application, we obtain a new hypergeometric transformation formula for a ${}_5F_4(-1)$…
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…
Several methods of evaluation are presented for a family of Selberg-like integrals that arose in the computation of the algebraic-geometric degrees of a family of multiplicity-free nilpotent K_C-orbits. First, adapting the technique of…
