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…
We utilize the Wilf-Zeilberger (WZ) method to establish congruences related to truncated Ramanujan-type series. By constructing hypergeometric terms $f(k, a, b, \ldots)$ with Gosper-summable differences and selecting appropriate parameters,…
A Ramanujan-type formula involving the squares of odd zeta values is obtained. The crucial part in obtaining such a result is to conceive the correct analogue of the Eisenstein series involved in Ramanujan's formula for $\zeta(2m+1)$. The…
We use the Algortihm Z on partitions due to Zeilberger, in a variant form, to give a combinatorial proof of Ramanujan's $_1\psi_1$ summation formula.
We study the $q$-series $F(q) = \sum q^{m(m+1)/2}/(q)_m^2$ and offer some commentary on why Ramanujan may have thought $F(q)$ does not "close."
We briefly review some of Ramanujan's contributions to mathematics, including his $1/\pi$ series, his work on modular forms, and his work on partitions. We briefly review his life, including his collaboration with Hardy. Finally, we give a…
We prove an interesting symmetric $q$-series identity which generalizes a result due to Ramanujan. A proof that is analytic in nature is offered, and a bijective-type proof is also outlined.
The hypergeometric formulae designed by Ramanujan more than a century ago for efficient approximation of $\pi$, Archimedes' constant, remain an attractive object of arithmetic study. In this note we discuss some $q$-analogues of…
A simplification of Ap\'ery's proof of the irrationality of \zeta(3) is presented. The construction of approximations is motivated from the viewpoint of 2-dimensional recurrence relations which simplifies many of the details of the proof.…
Through an application of a remarkable result due to Mishev in 2018 concerning the inverses for a class of transformations of sequences of complex numbers, we obtain a very simple proof for a famous series for $\frac{1}{\pi}$ due to…
Using the machinery from the theory of Calabi-Yau differential equations, we find formulas for $1/\pi^2$ of hypergeometric and non-hypergeometric types.
In this short research note, we aim to establish an interesting extension of a summation due to Ramanujan.The result is derived with the help of an extension of Gauss's summation theorem available in the literature.
In this article, we consider systems of linear congruences in several variables and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions as well as explicit expressions for the number of solutions subject to certain restriction conditions. These…
Ramanujan's notebooks contain many elegant identities and one of the celebrated identities is a formula for $\zeta(2k+1)$. In 1972, Grosswald gave an extension of the Ramanujan's formula for $\zeta(2k+1)$, which contains a polynomial of…
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.
We prove a recent conjecture, due to Vigren and Dieckmann, about an explicit triple sum formula for a series from Ramanujan's Notebooks. We shall give two proofs: the first one is by evaluation and based on the identity \begin{equation*}…
In 'The Lost Notebook and Other Unpublished Papers' of Ramanujan are present some manuscripts of Ramanujan in the handwriting of G. N. Watson which are 'copied from loose papers'. We present a proof of a beautiful formula of Ramanujan in…
We explain the use and set grounds about applicability of algebraic transformations of arithmetic hypergeometric series for proving Ramanujan's formulae for $1/\pi$ and their generalisations.
We give $q$-analogues of the following two Ramanujan-type formulas for $1/\pi$: \begin{align*} \sum_{k=0}^\infty (6k+1)\frac{(\frac{1}{2})_k^3}{k!^3 4^k} =\frac{4}{\pi} \quad\text{and}\quad \sum_{k=0}^\infty…
Using some properties of the gamma function and the well-known Gauss summation formula for the classical hypergeometric series, we prove a four-parameter series expansion formula, which can produce infinitely many Ramanujan type series for…
