A variant of Lambert function

Sorry, my answer is wrong. As it was pointed out by "Simply Beautiful Art" $x\ne W(z)$ but $x=e^{W(z)}.$ It is known that $$W'(z)=\frac{W(z)}{z(1+W(z))}.$$ Let $z=\log t$. Then $x=W(z)$ is a root of …

Proof identity for hypergeometric series 2F1(a,b;c;x)

There are fifteen Gauss' contiguous relations for functions $F(a, b ; c ; z)$, $F(a \pm 1, b ; c ; z), F(a, b \pm 1, c ; z)$, and $F(a, b ; c \pm 1 ; z)$, see Erdélyi A. et al. Higher transcendental f …

Summations in $\tan^2$

There is one natural way to study such identities based on discrete Fourier series. You can define functions as a Fourier series with coefficients equal to your summands. Then your sums will be equal …

Functional equations associated with addition theorems for elliptic functions

There is a more simple proof in the book V. M. Buchstaber, T. E. Panov, Toric Topology, Mathematical Surveys and Monographs, 204, Amer. Math. Soc., 2015, arXiv: 1210.2368v3. This result is the theorem …

Legendre polynomials and formal groups

Let $P_n(x)$ be Legendre polynomials: $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-2tx+t^2}}=\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty}P_n(x)t^n.$$ Usual arguments from the theory of formal groups allow to prove that for any $n$ $$P_n(x)=Q_n( …

Generalized Bernoulli numbers

These numbers and corresponding polynomials were introduced by Korobov, see second edition of his book "Number theory methods in numerical analysis". He found some examples, where these "discrete" pol …
