- 1 February 1994
We prove that a series derived using Euler's transformation provides the analytic continuation of ζ(s) for all complex s ¬= 1. At negative integers the series becomes a finite sum whose value is…
Double integrals and infinite products for some classical constants via analytic continuations of Lerch’s transcendent

The two-fold aim of the paper is to unify and generalize on the one hand the double integrals of Beukers for ζ(2) and ζ(3), and of the second author for Euler’s constant γ and its alternating analog…

We give analogs for Euler's constant and ln(4/Pi) of the well-known double integrals for zeta(2) and zeta(3). We also give a series for ln(4/Pi) which reveals it to be an"alternating Euler constant."
Ramanujan Primes and Bertrand's Postulate
- J. Sondow
- MathematicsThe American mathematical monthly
- 29 July 2009
The Prime Number Theorem is used to show that $R_n$ is asymptotic to the $2n$th prime and the length of the longest string of consecutive Ramanujan primes among the first $n$ primes is estimated.
A Geometric Proof That e Is Irrational and a New Measure of Its Irrationality
- J. Sondow
- MathematicsThe American mathematical monthly
- 1 August 2006
A new measure of irrationality for e is led to by a construction of a nested sequence of closed intervals with intersection e, where S(q)$ is the smallest positive integer such that $S(q)!$ is a multiple of $q$.
A monotonicity property of Riemann’s xi function and a reformulation of the Riemann hypothesis

We prove that Riemann’s xi function is strictly increasing (respectively, strictly decreasing) in modulus along every horizontal half-line in any zero-free, open right (respectively, left)…
Ramanujan Primes: Bounds, Runs, Twins, and Gaps

- 1 May 2011
The $n$th Ramanujan prime is the smallest positive integer $R_n$ such that if $x \ge R_n$, then the interval $(x/2,x]$ contains at least $n$ primes. We sharpen Laishram's theorem that $R_n < p_{3n}$…
Euler’s constant, q-logarithms, and formulas of Ramanujan and Gosper
- J. Sondow, W. Zudilin
- Mathematics
- 2 April 2003
The aim of the paper is to relate computational and arithmetic questions about Euler’s constant γ with properties of the values of the q-logarithm function, with natural choice of~q. By these means,…
New Vacca-Type Rational Series for Euler's Constant and Its
- J. Sondow
- Mathematics
- 1 August 2005
We recall a pair of logarithmic series that reveals ln(4 ∕ π) to be an “alternating” analog of Euler’s constant γ. Using the binary expansion of an integer, we derive linear, quadratic, and cubic…
