PSLQ and Hex Digits of Pi

PSLQ and Hex Digits of Pi. Finalist for the $100K Edge of Computation Prize. My brother made the observation that this log formula allows one to compute binary digits of log 2 without knowing the previous ones! ( a BBP formula ).

  1. PSLQ and Hex Digits of Pi Finalist for the $100K Edge of ComputationPrize My brother made the observation that this log formula allows one to compute binary digits of log 2 without knowing the previous ones! (a BBP formula) Bailey, Plouffe and he hunted for such a formula for Pi. Three months later the computer - doing bootstrappedPSLQhunts - returned: This reduced to which Maple, Mathematica and humans can easily prove. A triumph for“reverse engineered mathematics” [algorithm design] No such formula exists base-ten (provably)

  2. PSLQ and Hex Digits of Pi Finalist for the $100K Edge of ComputationPrize won by David Deutsch No such formula exists base-ten (provably)

  3. The pre-designed Algorithm ran the next day JJ Borwein Skyper J Borwein Abacus User and Computer Racer Now built into some compilers! Used to check trillion digit hex-computation of Pi D Borwein Slide Rule User T Borwein Gamer P Borwein Grid User
