Abstract: In this article, we define functions analogous to Ramanujan's function $f(n)$ defined in his famous paper "Modular equations and approximations to $pi$". We then use these new functions to study Ramanujan's series for $1/pi$ associated with the classical, cubic and quartic bases.

Review text

In this interesting paper, the authors used the Jacobi theta functions to define some functions analogous to Ramanujan's function \(f(n)\) defined in his famous paper ``Modular equations and approximation to \(\pi\) [Q. J. Math. 45, 350--372 (1914; JFM 45.1249.01)]. They then used these new functions to study Ramanuan's type series for \(1/{\pi}\). Several amazing Ramanuan's type series for \(1/{\pi}\) are derived.
