Abstract

The Ramanujan Machine project detects new expressions related to constants of interest, such as ζ function values, γ and algebraic numbers (to name a few). In particular the project lists a number of conjectures involving even and odd ζ function values, logarithms etc. We show that many relations detected by the Ramanujan Machine Project stem from a specific algebraic observation and show how to generate infinitely many. This provides an automated proof and/or an explanation of many of the relations listed as conjectures by the project (although not all of them).
