By | May 11, 2022

\begin{theorem}
The reciprocal of \pi assumes the following family of integral representations

(1)   \begin{equation*} \frac{1}{\pi}= \frac{\left[\prod_{k=1}^{m+n}(2k-1)\right]^2 \lambda^{2m+1}}{(2m)!\, 2^{4m+2n}} \int_0^{\infty} \frac{x^{2m} J_{2m+1}(\lambda x)}{\Gamma\left(m+ n+\frac{1}{2} + x\right) \Gamma\left(m+n+\frac{1}{2}-x\right)}\,{\rm d}x \end{equation*}

(2)   \begin{equation*} \frac{1}{\pi}= \frac{\left[\prod_{k=1}^{m+n}(2k-1)\right]^2 \lambda^{2m+2}}{(2m+1)!\, 2^{4m+2n+1}} \int_0^{\infty} \frac{x^{2m+1} J_{2m+2}(\lambda x)}{\Gamma\left(m+n+ \frac{1}{2} + x\right) \Gamma\left(m+n+\frac{1}{2}-x\right)}\,{\rm d}x \end{equation*}

for m=0, 1, 2, \dots, n=1, 2, 3,\dots and \lambda\geq\pi, where J_n(x) is the Bessel function of the first kind and \Gamma(x) is the Euler gamma function.
\end{theorem}
