Hypergeometric rational approximations to ζ(4)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 February 2020
Abstract
We give a new hypergeometric construction of rational approximations to ζ(4), which absorbs the earlier one from 2003 based on Bailey's 9F8 hypergeometric integrals. With the novel ingredients we are able to gain better control of the arithmetic and produce a record irrationality measure for ζ(4).
