In mathematics, Ramanujan's master theorem, named after Srinivasa Ramanujan, [1] is a technique that provides an analytic expression for the Mellin transform of an analytic function. Page from Ramanujan's notebook stating his Master theorem. The result is stated as follows:
Srinivasa Ramanujan Aiyangar [a] (22 December 1887 – 26 April 1920) was an Indian mathematician.Often regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, though he had almost no formal training in pure mathematics, he made substantial contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions, including solutions to mathematical problems then ...
Ramanujan's lost notebook is the manuscript in which the Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan recorded the mathematical discoveries of the last year (1919–1920) of his life. Its whereabouts were unknown to all but a few mathematicians until it was rediscovered by George Andrews in 1976, in a box of effects of G. N. Watson stored at the ...
In mathematics, the Ramanujan conjecture, due to Srinivasa Ramanujan (1916, p. 176), states that Ramanujan's tau function given by the Fourier coefficients τ(n) of the cusp form Δ(z) of weight 12 Δ ( z ) = ∑ n > 0 τ ( n ) q n = q ∏ n > 0 ( 1 − q n ) 24 = q − 24 q 2 + 252 q 3 − 1472 q 4 + 4830 q 5 − ⋯ , {\displaystyle \Delta (z ...
Let n be a non-negative integer and let p(n) denote the number of partitions of n (p(0) is defined to be 1).Srinivasa Ramanujan in a paper [3] published in 1918 stated and proved the following congruences for the partition function p(n), since known as Ramanujan congruences.
The Hardy–Ramanujan Journal is a mathematics journal covering prime numbers, Diophantine equations, and transcendental numbers. It is named for G. H. Hardy and Srinivasa Ramanujan. Together with the Ramanujan Journal and the Journal of the Ramanujan Mathematical Society, it is one of three journals named after Ramanujan. [1] [2] [3]
Ramanujan summation is a technique invented by the mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan for assigning a value to divergent infinite series.Although the Ramanujan summation of a divergent series is not a sum in the traditional sense, it has properties that make it mathematically useful in the study of divergent infinite series, for which conventional summation is undefined.
This paper won the first Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Paper of the Year prize. [2] A conceptual explanation for Ramanujan's observation was finally discovered in January 2011 [3] by considering the Hausdorff dimension of the following function in the l-adic topology:
