RésuméAu moyen d’une méthode d’approximation de Padé introduite par Prévost dans [13], nous construisons des familles d’approximations rationnelles rapidement convergentes vers la constante de Catalan G. Bien que cela ne suffise pas à prouver l’irrationalité de G, nous montrons le lien inattendu avec la méthode hypergéométrique récemment mise en avant dans l’étude diophantienne des fonction ζ de Riemann et β de Dirichlet, ce qui nous permet de prouver la ≪ conjecture des dénominateurs ≫ de [17… Expand
Simultaneous Polynomial Approximations of the Lerch Function

• Mathematics
• 2009
Abstract We construct bivariate polynomial approximations of the Lerch function that for certain specialisations of the variables and parameters turn out to be Hermite–Padé approximants either of theExpand
Well-poised generation of Apéry-like recursions
The idea to use classical hypergeometric series and, in particular, well-poised hypergeometric series in diophantine problems of the values of the polylogarithms has led to several novelties inExpand

Following our earlier research, we propose a new method for obtaining the complete Pade table of the exponential function. It is based on an explicit construction of certain Pade approximants, notExpand

Remainder Padé approximants for hypergeometric series

ABSTRACT Remainder Padé Approximation (RPA) consists in adding to the n-th partial sum of a series a suitable Padé approximant of the asymptotic expansion in the variable 1/n of the remainder term.Expand

It is shown how Andrews' multidimensional extension of Watson's transformation between a very-well-poised $_8\phi_7$-series and a balanced $_4\phi_3$-series can be used to give a straightforwardExpand
Diophantine properties for $q$-analogues of Dirichlet's beta function at positive integers
• Mathematics
• 2008
In this paper, we define q-analogues of Dirichlet's beta function at positive integers, which can be written as β q (s) = Σ k≥1 S d|k χ(k/d)d s―1 q k for s ∈ ℕ * , where q is a complex number suchExpand

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 coecients, a second-order dierence equation is obtained and a new way of fast calculation of Catalan's constant as well as a new continued-fraction expansion for it is derived.
