Infinite Sums Involving cube of Central Binomial Coefficient

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the evaluation of infinite sums involving the cube of the central binomial coefficient, specifically the sums represented by equations (1) and (2). The first sum converges to a formula involving the Gamma function, specifically $\frac{\Gamma\left(\frac{1}{8}\right)^2\Gamma\left(\frac{3}{8}\right)^2}{2^{7/2}\pi^3}$, while the second sum simplifies to $\frac{\pi}{\Gamma \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^4}$. The use of elliptic integrals or functions is confirmed as necessary for solving these sums, referencing additional equations on the page for further assistance.

Show that

$$
\begin{align*}
\sum_{n=0}^\infty \binom{2n}{n}^3 \frac{(-1)^n}{4^{3n}} &= \frac{\Gamma\left(\frac{1}{8}\right)^2\Gamma\left(\frac{3}{8}\right)^2}{2^{7/2}\pi^3} \tag{1}\\
\sum_{n=0}^\infty \binom{2n}{n}^3 \frac{1}{4^{3n}}&= \frac{\pi}{\Gamma \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^4}\tag{2}
\end{align*}
$$

$\Gamma(z)$ denotes the Gamma Function.

Am I right in assuming Elliptic integrals/functions are required for this one, Shobhit...?

Yes, that is how they can be solved. You may have to use equations (3) and (6) on this page.
