A conjecture about certain values of the Fabius function
The Fabius function is a smooth monotone function $F:[0,1]\to[0,1]$, satisfying functional equations
$$F(0)=0, \quad F(1-x)=1-F(x)\tag1$$
and
$$F'(x) = 2 \,F(2 x) \quad \text{for} \,\, 0<x<1/2.\...

Several conjectured identities for polylogarithms
I asked a question at M.SE a couple of years ago about polylogarithms $\!^{[1]}$$\!^{[2]}$$\!^{[3]}$$\!^{[4]}$ where I conjectured
$$720\,\operatorname{Li}_4\!\left(\tfrac12\right)-2160\,\operatorname{...

A curious series related to the asymptotic behavior of the tetration
The tetration is denoted $^n a$, where $a$ is called the base and $n$ is called the height, and is defined for $n\in\mathbb N\cup\{-1,\,0\}$ by the recurrence
$$
{^{-1} a} = 0, \quad {^{n+1} a} = a^{\...

Reconstructing analytic tetration with a complex height from a thinner set of points
This is a follow-up to my previous question An explicit series representation for the analytic tetration with complex height.
Recall the definition $(11)$ from there:
$$t(z) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \sum_{...

An explicit series representation for the analytic tetration with complex height
Tetration is the next hyperoperation after more familiar addition, multiplication and exponentiation. It can be seen as a repeated exponentiation, similar to how exponentiation can be seen as a ...

An elementary expression for $_3F_2(1,1,9/4;2,2;-1)$
Consider the following series:
$$S=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{(-1)^n\ \Gamma\left(\frac{5}{4}+n\right)}{n^2\ \Gamma(n)}.$$
It can be expressed in terms of a hypergeometric function:
$$S=-\frac{5}{16}\...

How closed-form conjectures are made?
Recently I posted a conjecture at Math.SE:
$$\int_0^\infty\ln\frac{J_\mu(x)^2+Y_\mu(x)^2}{J_\nu(x)^2+Y_\nu(x)^2}\mathrm dx\stackrel{?}{=}\frac{\pi}{2}(\mu^2-\nu^2),$$
where $J_\mu(x)$ and $Y_\mu(x)$ ...
