Prove the (numerically-evident) proposition that \begin{equation} \Sigma_{i=0}^\infty f(i) = 1, \end{equation} where \begin{equation} f(i)= 2^{-4 i-6} q(i) \frac{\Gamma(3 i+\frac{5}{2}) \Gamma(5 i+2)}{3 \Gamma(i+1) \Gamma(2 i+3) \Gamma(5 i+\frac{13}{2})} \end{equation} and \begin{equation} q(i) = 185000 i^5 +779750 i^4 +1289125 i^3 +1042015 i^2 +410694 i+63000= \end{equation} \begin{equation} i (5 i (25 i (2 i (740 i+3119)+10313)+208403)+410694)+63000. \end{equation} This is the special case ($\alpha=0$) of eqs. (4)-(6) in arXiv:1301.6617, and eqs. (2)-(3) in arXiv:1303.1125.

  • $\begingroup$ can you give some background how this identity to unity arises? does that suggest a way to a proof? $\endgroup$ May 9, 2013 at 19:57

    $\begingroup$ Then too, some numerically evident propositions are false... For example, $$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{(3n-2)!}{(2n)!} \frac{(2n+99)!}{(3n+99)!} $$ is not quite equal to what numerical computation suggests. See math.harvard.edu/~elkies/Misc/sol11.html . $\endgroup$ May 9, 2013 at 22:06
