2002

Here is the fastest of my proved formulas for pi (3 digits per term). I proved it by the WZ (Wilf and Zeilberger) method.

And here is the fastest of all my formulas for pi (5 digits per term). It has not been proved yet. I found it using the PSLQ algorithm.

formula

I proved an infinite product for the number e which is similar to formulas found before by Jonathan Sondow for the constants e^gamma and pi (the exponents we see inside the parentheses are given by the rows of Pascal's triangle).

2008

I obtained a new formula for the Catalan constant (see arXiv 1104.0396 subsection: Identity 3). It is one of the most efficient formulas for computing it (see numberworld). It reads

2010

The following conjectured formula is joint with Gert Almkvist. It is interesting to observe that in the denominators there are only powers of 10 because (6n)! is divisible by (n)!^6. But it is not a BBP (Bailey-Borwein-Plouffe) base 10 formula because it involves factorial numbers.

2013

In 2013 I have obtained a new representation of the Mangoldt's function as a sum over ALL the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. Hence, it is different from that given by Landau. In 2017 we obtained bounds. Below, we show the neat graphic that we get taking the first 10000 non-trivial zeros of zeta

2014

The following two fast formulas can be proved with the method explained in the paper, joint with Mathew Rogers, “Ramanujan series upside-down” (2014), and also with the method explained in my paper “Ramanujan series with a shift” (2018). The value at 2 corresponding to the character -4 (sub-index) is the Catalan constant.

2017

This year I have proved a new kind of algorithm generalizing those of Borwein for pi. Below is a quartic algorithm depending on a free parameter w. The case w=1 is a Borwein quartic algorithm for pi.

2018

I found a new method for proving Ramanujan series for 1/pi. The method is specially interesting in case of alternating series because the modular equation required in this cases has a much lower degree than that used in the other known methods. For example, the formula below was discovered by Chan, Liaw and Tan in 2000, and they knew that it could be proved using a modular equation of degree 89, but no modular equations of such degree were known (and they are still unknown today). However, in 2018 I could prove the formula using a modular equation of degree 23, that had been curiously deduced in 2000 by Chan and Liaw. I refer to this Ramanujan series as 3A23 (3=level, A=alternating, 23=degree)

The formula below is a q-analogue of the Ramanujan series 1A3 (1=level, A=alternating, 3=degree), that we get letting q tend to 1. It was used by Wadim Zudilin for obtaining the very interesting p-adic supercongruences module p^3 for the Ramanujan series 1A3.
