Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. We show that, as $X \rightarrow \infty$, $$\int_{X}^{2X} \sup_{\substack{P(Y)\in \mathbb{R}[Y]\\ deg(P)\leq k}} \Big | \sum_{x \leq n \leq x + H} \lambda(n) e(-P(n)) \Big |\ dx = o ( X H)$$ for…

In this paper we extend the results given in \cite{Mo18} to the $n$-dimensional case the fractional powers of Bessel operators. Moreover, we established a Liouville type theorems for these operators. This extend the result obtained in…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. We show that for all sufficiently large integers $N$, the (non-trivial) convolution sum bound $$ \left|\sum_{1 \leq n < N} \lambda(n) \lambda(N-n)\right| < N-1 $$ holds. This (essentially)…

We obtain a new Liouville comparison principle for weak solutions $(u,v)$ of semilinear parabolic second-order partial differential inequalities of the form $$u_t -{\mathcal L}u- |u|^{q-1}u\geq v_t -{\mathcal L}v- |v|^{q-1}v (*)$$ in the…

It is shown that the first $n$ prime numbers $p_1,...,p_n$ determine the next one by the recursion equation $$ p_{n+1} =\lim\limits_{s\to +\infty} [\prod\limits^n_{k=1} (1-\frac{1}{p^s_k}) \sum\limits^\infty_{j=1} \frac{1}{j^s} -1]^{-1/s}.…

Consider an arbitrary complex-valued, twice continuously differentiable, nonvanishing function $\phi$ defined on a finite segment $[a,b]\subset \mathbb{R}$. Let us introduce an infinite system of functions constructed in the following way.…

Let $F_1=1,F_2=1,\ldots$ be the Fibonacci sequence. Motivated by the identity $\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{F_{2^k}}=\frac{7-\sqrt{5}}{2}$, Erd\"os and Graham asked whether $\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{F_{n_k}}$ is…

E565 in the Enestrom index. Translated from the Latin original, "De plurimis quantitatibus transcendentibus quas nullo modo per formulas integrales exprimere licet" (1775). Euler does not prove any results in this paper. It seems to me like…

A result by Courr\`ege says that linear translation invariant operators satisfy the maximum principle if and only if they are of the form $\mathcal{L}=\mathcal{L}^{\sigma,b}+\mathcal{L}^\mu$ where $$…

In 2003 Klazar proved that the ordinary generating function of the sequence of Bell numbers is differentially transcendental over the field $\mathbb{C}(\{t\})$ of meromorphic functions at $0$. We show that Klazar's result is an instance of…

In this paper we consider the Riemann--Liouville fractional integral $\mathcal{N}^{\alpha,\nu}(t)= \frac{1}{\Gamma(\alpha)} \int_0^t (t-s)^{\alpha-1}N^\nu(s) \, \mathrm ds $, where $N^\nu(t)$, $t \ge 0$, is a fractional Poisson process of…

Classical results on Diophantine approximation, such as Roth's theorem, provide the most effective techniques for proving the transcendence of special kinds of continued fractions. Multidimensional continued fractions are a generalization…

We deal with the higher-order fractional Laplacians by two methods: the integral method and the system method. The former depends on the integral equation equivalent to the differential equation. The latter works directly on the…
