There are numerous ways to represent real numbers. We may use, e.g., Cauchy sequences, Dedekind cuts, numerical base-10 expansions, numerical base-2 expansions and continued fractions. If we work with full Turing computability, all these…
We estimate the sum of products or quotients of $L$-functions, where the sum is taken over all quadratic extensions of given genus over a fixed global function field. Our estimate for the sum of the quotient of two $L$-functions is…
Let $A$ be an Artin algebra. We investigate subalgebras of $A$ with certain conditions and obtain some classes of algebras whose finitistic dimensions are finite.
In [2] a new factorization for infinite Hessenberg banded matrices was introduced. In this note we prove that this kind of factorization can also be used for finite matrices. In addition, a new method for solving banded linear systems is…
We improve a result of Bennett concerning certain sequences involving sums of powers of positive integers.
In this article we study solutions to second order linear difference equations with variable coefficients. Under mild conditions we provide closed form solutions using finite continued fraction representations. The proof of the results are…
We consider the problem of representation of a bivariate function by sums of ridge functions. We show that if a function of a certain smoothness class is represented by a sum of finitely many, arbitrarily behaved ridge functions, then it…
An intuitive probabilistic alternative for the construction of the Martin boundary is presented along with a construction of maximal representing measures for positive harmonic functions.
In this note, we presented a new decomposition of elements of finite fields of even order and illustrated that it is an effective tool in evaluation of some specific exponential sums over finite fields, the explicit value of some…
For a fixed integer $k \ge 0$, consider representations of positive integers as sums of binomial coefficients of the form $\binom{n}{k}$. While exact minimal bounds for the number of required summands are known only in a few low-dimensional…
By treating the multiple argument identity of the logarithm of the Gamma function as a functional equation, we obtain a curious infinite product representation of the $sinc$ function in terms of the cotangent function. This result is…
In this paper, under the RH, we give a new representation of $N(T)$ in term of sum of the logarithms of the powers of prime numbers and compute the difference between the new representation and Guinand representation.
We obtain a new motivated proof of the reciprocity law for Dedekind sums by computing the constant coefficient of the Ehrhart polynomial for a rectangular triangle in two ways. On the one hand, the constant term is the Euler characteristic,…
This note gives a simple proof that certain values of Artin's $L$-function, for a representation $\rho$ with character $\chi_\rho$, are stable under twisting by an even Dirichlet character $\chi$, up to an element generated over $\mathbb Q$…
In this paper, we study the alternating Euler $T$-sums and related sums by using the method of contour integration. We establish the explicit formulas for all linear and quadratic Euler $T$-sums and related sums. Some interesting new…
We consider finite iterated generalized harmonic sums weighted by the binomial $\binom{2k}{k}$ in numerators and denominators. A large class of these functions emerges in the calculation of massive Feynman diagrams with local operator…
In this note, an upper bound for the sum of fractional parts of certain smooth functions is established. Such sums arise naturally in numerous problems of analytic number theory. The main feature is here an improvement of the main term due…
An identity is proved connecting two finite sums of inverse tangents. This identity is discretized version of Jacobi's imaginary transformation for the modular angle from the theory of elliptic functions. Some other related identities are…
A 1976 result from Norton may be used to give an asymptotic (but not explicit) description of the constant in Mertens' second theorem for primes in arithmetic progressions. Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we give an effective…
The classical quadratic Gauss sum can be thought of as an exponential sum attached to a quadratic form on a cyclic group. We introduce an equivariant version of Gauss sum for arbitrary finite quadratic forms, which is an exponential sum…
