In this article, we derive a sequence of numbers which converge to 1/π. We will also derive a new series for 1/π. These new results are motivated by the study of Ramanujan’s cubic continued fraction.
A new proof of two identities involving Ramanujan’s cubic continued fraction
In this paper, we give a new proof of two identities involving Ramanujan’s cubic continued fraction. These identities are the key ingredients to an analog of Ramanujan’s “Most Beautiful Identity”Expand

Properties of the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction are used to obtain a formula for calculating 1/π with quintic convergence.

Abstract A general theorem is stated that unifies 93 rational Ramanujan-type series for 1/π, 40 of which are believed to be new. Moreover, each series is shown to have a companion identity, therebyExpand
RAMANUJAN'S CUBIC CONTINUED FRACTION AND AN ANALOG OF HIS "MOST BEAUTIFUL IDENTITY"
In this paper, we prove an analog of Ramanujan's "Most Beautiful Identity". This analog is closely related to Ramanujan's beautiful results involving the cubic continued fraction.
Eisenstein series and Ramanujan-type series for 1/π

Using certain representations for Eisenstein series, we uniformly derive several Ramanujan-type series for 1/π.
RAMANUJAN'S CUBIC CONTINUED FRACTION AND RAMANUJAN TYPE CONGRUENCES FOR A CERTAIN PARTITION FUNCTION
In this paper, we study the divisibility of the function a(n) defined by $\sum_{n\geq 0} a(n) q^n := (q;q)^{-1}_\infty (q^2; q^2)^{-1}_\infty$. In particular, we prove certain "Ramanujan type cong...
A summation formula and Ramanujan type series
Abstract Using some properties of the general rising shifted factorial and the gamma function we derive a variant form of Dougallʼs F 4 5 summation for the classical hypergeometric functions. ThisExpand

Sporadic sequences, modular forms and new series for 1/π
Two new sequences, which are analogues of six sporadic examples of D. Zagier, are presented. The connection with modular forms is established and some new series for 1/π are deduced. The experimentalExpand

Abstract Around 1828, T. Clausen discovered that the square of certain hypergeometric F 1 2 function can be expressed as a hypergeometric F 2 3 function. Special cases of Clausenʼs identities wereExpand
