On a Linear Form for Catalan’s Constant

چکیده
Abstract. It is shown how Andrews’ multidimensional extension of Watson’s transformation between a very-well-poised 8φ7-series and a balanced 4φ3-series can be used to give a straightforward proof of a conjecture of Zudilin and the second author on the arithmetic behaviour of the coefficients of certain linear forms of 1 and Catalan’s constant. This proof is considerably simpler and more stream-lined than the first proof, due to the second author.

A Class of Series Acceleration Formulae for Catalan’s Constant
Abstract. In this note, we develop transformation formulae and expansions for the log tangent integral, which are then used to derive series acceleration formulae for certain values of Dirichlet L-functions, such as Catalan’s constant. The formulae are characterized by the presence of an infinite series whose general term consists of a linear recurrence damped by the central binomial coefficien...
متن کاملA Few Remarks on Linear Forms Involving Catalan’s Constant
Abstract. In the joint work [RZ] of T. Rivoal and the author, a hypergeometric construction was proposed for studing arithmetic properties of the values of Dirichlet’s beta function β(s) at even positive integers. The construction gives some bonuses [RZ], Section 9, for Catalan’s constant G = β(2), such as a second-order Apéry-like recursion and a permutation group in the sense of G. Rhin and C...
متن کاملAn Apery-like Difference Equation for Catalan's Constant
Applying Zeilberger’s algorithm of creative telescoping to a family of certain very-well-poised hypergeometric series involving linear forms in Catalan’s constant with rational coefficients, we obtain a second-order difference equation for these forms and their coefficients. As a consequence we derive a new way of fast calculation of Catalan’s constant as well as a new continued-fraction expans...

متن کاملApplication of different inverse methods for combination of vS and vGPR data to estimate porosity and water saturation
Inverse problem is one of the most important problems in geophysics as model parameters can be estimated from the measured data directly using inverse techniques. In this paper, applying different inverse methods on integration of S-wave and GPR velocities are investigated for estimation of porosity and water saturation. A combination of linear and nonlinear inverse problems are solved. Linear ...
