Abstract:
This paper proposes a new representation of $\pi$ as a double
series. This representation follows from the relation between the
Weierstrass $\wp$-function and the Jacobi theta-function. In the
beginning of the paper we give definitions of the classical Weierstrass
$\wp$-function and Jacobi theta-function. In the beginning of 1980s Italian
mathematician P.Zappa attempted
to generalize $\wp$-function to multidimensional spaces using methods
of multidimensional complex analysis. Using the Bochner-Martinelli kernel
he found a generalizationof the $\wp$-function with
properties similar to the classical one-dimensional $\wp$-function,
and and analog of the identity that connects the $\wp$-function and a certain theta-function of several variables.
This identity involves a constant given by an integral representation that
also holds in the one-dimensional case. Computing this constant in one-dimensional case
by two different methods, namely, using the integral representation and using
known series whose sums involve the digamma function,
we obtain a representation of $\pi$ as an absolutely convergent double
series. We have performed computational experiments to estimate the
rate of convergence of this series. Although it is not fast, hopefully,
the proposed representation will be useful in fundamental studies
in the field of mathematical analysis and number theory.
Keywords:
Weierstrass $\wp$-function, Jacobi theta-function, $\pi$.
