报告题目：The Recent Results for the Ramanujan R-Function With Applications

报告摘要：According to different requirements in applications, we present several kinds of series expansions for the Ramanujan $R$-function (or the Ramanujan constant) $R(a,c-a)=-2\gamma-\psi(a)-\psi(c-a)$ and its special case $R(a)=R(a,1-a)$, where $\psi$ is the psi function, thus providing very effective tools, techniques and methods for us to reveal  properties of $R(a,b)$ and $R(a)$. By these series expansions, some monotonicity and convexity properties and several new asymptotically sharp bounds are derived for $R(a,c-a)$ and $R(a)$, and many known results for them can be easily improved or reproved by much simpler methods. Applying these results, we can obtain some properties of the Gaussian hyper-geometric functions and the generalized quasi-conformal distortion functions. In addition, as by-products, several identities and inequalities satisfied by the Riemann zeta function and its related special functions are obtained, and a method for us to find the sum of the series $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}(2k+1)(k^2+k)^{-n-1}$, for each natural number $n$, is presented.
