This is achieved by means of separating a generalized hypergeometric function $_3F_2$ into even and odd components, together with the use of two known results for $_3F_2(\\pm\\frac14)$ available in the literature. As an application, we obtain an interesting infinite-sum representation for the number $\\pi^2$. Certain connections with the work of Ramanujan and other authors are discussed, involving other special functions and binomial sums of different kinds.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2024-08-12T11:19:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "33C20", "33C05", "33C15" ], "keywords": [ "generalized hypergeometric function", "closed-form evaluations", "odd components", "binomial sums", "interesting infinite-sum representation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
