Recently, Ono and the third author discovered that the reciprocals of the theta series $(q;q)_\infty^3$ and $(q^2;q^2)_\infty(q;q^2)_\infty^2$ have infinitely many closed formulas in terms of MacMahon's quasimodular forms $A_k(q)$ and $C_k(q)$. In this article, we use the well-known infinite product identities due to Jacobi, Watson, and Hirschhorn to derive further such closed formulas for reciprocals of other interesting infinite products. Moreover, with these formulas, we approximate these reciprocals to arbitrary order simply using MacMahon's functions and {\it MacMahon type} functions. For example, let $Θ_{6}(q):=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{n\in\mathbb{Z}} χ_6(n) n q^{\frac{n^2-1}{24}}$ be the theta function corresponding to the odd quadratic character modulo $6$. Then for any positive integer $n$, we have $$\frac{1}{Θ_{6}(q)}= q^{-\frac{3n^2+n}{2}}\sum_{\substack{k=r_1\\ k\equiv n\hspace{-0.2cm}\pmod{2}}}^{r_2}(-1)^{\frac{n-k}{2}}A_{k}(q)C_{\frac{3n-k}{2}}(q)+O(q^{n+1}),$$ where $r_1:=\lfloor\frac{3n-1-\sqrt{12n+13}}{3}\rfloor+1$ and $r_2:=\lceil\frac{3n-1+\sqrt{12n+13}}{3}\rceil-1$.
In this article, we derive, using Fourier series and multiple derivative of the function $π/\sin(πx)$, series representations for positive powers of $π$. We also show that the Euler-Wallis product can be easily obtained from the same formalism and deduce infinite products representations of $π$.
In this paper, we give explicit evaluation for some infinite series involving generalized (alternating) harmonic numbers. In addition, some formulas for generalized (alternating) harmonic numbers will also be derived.
The purpose of this article is to present closed forms for various types of infinite series involving Fibonacci (Lucas) numbers and the Riemann zeta function at integer arguments.
We derive new infinite series involving Fibonacci numbers and Riemann zeta numbers. The calculations are facilitated by evaluating linear combinations of polygamma functions of the same order at certain arguments.
In this paper, we find the sums in closed form of certain type of Lucas-related convergent series. More precisely, we generalize the results already obtained by the author in his arXiv paper entitled: "Summation of certain infinite Fibonacci related series".
An unpublished identity of Gosper restates a hypergeometric identity for odd zeta values in terms of an infinite product of matrices. We show that this correspondence runs much deeper, and show that many examples of WZ-accelerated series for zeta values lift to infinite matrix products. We also introduce a new matrix subgroup, the Gosper group, which all of our matrix products fall into.
In the present paper and as an application of Roth's theorem concerning the rational approximation of algebraic numbers, we give a sufficient condition that will assure us that a series of positive rational terms is a transcendental number. With the same conditions, we establish a transcendental measure of $ \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} 1/a_n$.
The degenerate exponentials play an important role in recent study on degenerate versions of many special numbers and polynomials, the degenerate gamma function, the degenerate umbral calculus and the degenerate q-umbral calculus. The aim of this note is to consider infinite series whose terms involve truncated degenerate exponentials together with several special numbers and to find either their values or some other expressions of them as finite sums.
Congruences of truncated sums of infinite series do not directly extend to congruences of the truncated sums of higher powers of these infinite series. Guo and Zudilin recently established a variety of supercongruences for truncated sums of certain basic hypergeometric series. In this note we extend some of these supercongruences to the truncated sums of the squares of the corresponding series.

Let $β=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$, $(a_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}^+}$ be a non-uniform morphic sequence involving the infinite Fibonacci word and $(δ(n))_{n \in \mathbb{N}^+}$ be a positive sequence such that for all positive integers $n$, $δ(n)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\sum_{j \geq 0}ε_jβ^{j+2}$ if the unique Zeckendorf expansion of $n$ is $n=\sum_{j \geq 0}ε_jF_{j+2}$ with Fibonacci numbers $F_0,F_1,F_2...$. We define and study some Dirichlet series in the form of $\sum_{n\geq 1}\frac{a_n}{(δ(n))^s}$ and relations between them. Moreover, we compute the values of some infinite series involving the infinite Fib…
Borwein, Bailey, and Girgensohn (2004) asked whether the following infinite series converges: the sum of $(\frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{3} \sin n)^n / n$ over all positive integers $n$. We prove that their series converges. The proof uses the irrationality measure of $π$.
We study a certain family of infinite series with reciprocal Catalan numbers. We first evaluate two special candidates of the family in closed form, where we also present some Catalan-Fibonacci relations. Then we focus on the general properties of the family and prove explicit formulas, including two types of integral representations.
Using techniques from calculus, we combine classical identities for $π$, $\operatorname{ln}2$, and harmonic numbers, to arrive at a nice infinite series formula for $π/3$ that does not appear to be well known. In addition, we give twenty-seven related identities involving $π$ and other irrational numbers. Posted in celebration of Pi Day 2022.
We will prove an identity involving refined $q$-trinomial coefficients. We then extend this identity to two infinite families of doubly bounded polynomial identities using transformation properties of the refined $q$-trinomials in an iterative fashion in the spirit of Bailey chains. One of these two hierarchies contains an identity which is equivalent to Capparelli's first Partition Theorem.
Since the study by Jacobi and Hecke, Hecke-type series have received extensive attention. Especially, Hecke-type series involving infinite products have attracted broad interest among many mathematicians including Kac, Peterson, Andrews, Bressoud and Liu. Motivated by the works of these people, we study Hecke-type series involving infinite products. In particular, we establish some Hecke-type series involving infinite products and then obtain the truncated versions of these series as well as some other known series of the same type. As consequences, three families of inequalities for certain p…
In this paper, we use the analytic method of Odlyzko and Richmond to study the log-concavity of power series. If $f(z) = \sum_n a_nz^n$ is an infinite series with $a_n \geq 1$ and $a_0 + \cdots + a_n = O(n + 1)$ for all $n$, we prove that a super-polynomially long initial segment of $f^k(z)$ is log-concave. Furthermore, if there exists constants $C > 1$ and $α< 1$ such that $a_0 + \cdots + a_n = C(n + 1) - R_n$ where $0 \leq R_n \leq O((n + 1)^α)$, we show that an exponentially long initial segment of $f^k(z)$ is log-concave. This resolves a conjecture proposed by Letong Hong and the author, w…
Let $a(1) >0$, $a(n) \ge 0$ for $n \ge 2$ and $a(n) = O(n^\varepsilon)$ for any $\varepsilon >0$, and put $Z(σ+ it):= \sum_{n=1}^\infty a(n) n^{-σ- it}$ where $σ, t \in {\mathbb{R}}$. In the present paper, we show that any zeta distribution whose characteristic function is defined by ${\mathcal{Z}}_σ(t) :=Z(σ+ it)/Z(σ)$ is pretended infinitely divisible if $σ>1$ is sufficiently large. Moreover, we prove that if ${\mathcal{Z}}_σ(t)$ is an infinitely divisible characteristic function for some $σ_{id} >1$, then ${\mathcal{Z}}_σ(t)$ is infinitely divisible for all $σ>1$. Note that the correspondin…
We construct vertex transitive lattices on products of trees of arbitrary dimension $d \geq 1$ based on quaternion algebras over global fields with exactly two ramified places. Starting from arithmetic examples, we find non-residually finite groups generalizing earlier results of Wise, Burger and Mozes to higher dimension. We make effective use of the combinatorial language of cubical sets and the doubling construction generalized to arbitrary dimension. Congruence subgroups of these quaternion lattices yield explicit cubical Ramanujan complexes, a higher dimensional cubical version of Ramanuj…
An Infinite Series of Perfect Quadratic Forms and Big Delaunay Simplexes in Z^n
George Voronoi(1908-09)介绍了正二次型的两种重要的归约方法:完全型归约和L型整环归约。一个形式是完美的,如果可以从它的算术最小值的所有表示重建。如果两种形式的格的Delaunay镶嵌仿射等价,则两种形式具有相同的L型。Delaunay(1937- 1938)提出了格点Delaunay单形可能的相对体积问题。我们构造了一个相对体积为n-3的Delaunay单形的无穷级数,这是迄今为止最著名的单形。这个级数产生了一个新的无穷级数的完美形式TF_{n},它具有有趣的性质,例如TF_{5} = D_{5},TF_{6} =E*_{6},TF_{7} = E *_{15}^{7}.对于所有n,TF_{n}的结构域与第二完全形式D_{n}的结构域相邻。完全形式TF_{n}是Korkine和Zolotareff的5个变量的第3完全形式TF_{n}的n维直接推广.这种形式很可能与Anzin(1991)的形式h_n等价。
In this paper, we investigate several infinite products with vanishing Taylor coefficients in arihmetic progressions. These infinite products are closely related to the Rogers--Ramanujan continued fraction. Moreover, a handful of new identities involving Ramanujan's parameters will be established.
