Ramanujan Summation for Classic Combinatorial Problem

Dr. R. Sivaraman

Abstract

The concept of Ramanujan Summation has been dealt with several forms in recent decades. In this paper, I will define Ramanujan summation evaluated through a definite integral and using this, I had computed the Ramanujan summation for the divergent series whose terms represent the maximum number of regions formed by considering n points in the circumference of a circle which are joined by chords. This classic geometric problem along with Ramanujan summation method has produced an interesting and new result which is derived in detail in this paper.

Keywords
