Abstract English The concept of Apery limit for second and third order differential equations is extended to fourth and fifth order equations, mainly of Calabi-Yau type. For those equations obtained from Hadamard products of second and third order equations we can prove that the limits are determined in terms of the factors by a certain formula. Otherwise the limits are found by using PSLQ in Maple and are only conjectural. All identified limits are rational linear combinations of the following numbers: pi(2) Catalan's constant G, Sigma(infinity)(n=1) (n/3)/n(2); pi(3), pi(3), zeta(3), pi(3)root 3, pi(4).
