We propose a new method for the calculation of the statistical properties, as e.g. the entropy, of unknown generators of symbolic sequences. The probability distribution $p(k)$ of the elements $k$ of a population can be approximated by the…

A $k$-sum of a set $A\subseteq \mathbb{Z}$ is an integer that may be expressed as a sum of $k$ distinct elements of $A$. How large can the ratio of the number of $(k+1)$-sums to the number of $k$-sums be? Writing $k\wedge A$ for the set of…

We consider a Dirichlet series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a_n^{-s}$, where $a_n$ satisfies a linear recurrence of arbitrary degree with integer coefficients. Under suitable hypotheses, we prove that it has a meromorphic continuation to the complex…

We establish a new class of relations among the multiple zeta values \zeta(k_1,k_2,...,k_n), which we call the cyclic sum identities. These identities have an elementary proof, and imply the "sum theorem" for multiple zeta values. They also…

This paper considers estimation of a univariate density from an individual numerical sequence. It is assumed that (i) the limiting relative frequencies of the numerical sequence are governed by an unknown density, and (ii) there is a known…

Let $P$ be a subset of the primes of lower density strictly larger than $\frac12$. Then, every sufficiently large even integer is a sum of four primes from the set $P$. We establish similar results for $k$-summands, with $k\geq 4$, and for…

In this paper some links between the density of a set of integers and the density of its sumset, product set and set of subset sums are presented.

For $b>1$ and $\alpha\beta$ a string of two digits in base $b$, let $K_1$ be the subsum of the harmonic series with only those integers having exactly one occurrence of $\alpha\beta$. We obtain a theoretical representation of such $K_1$…

In this paper, we evaluate some series via the WZ method, and confirm several previous conjectures. For example, we prove the following two identities conjectured by the second author: $$\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{(28k^2 + 10k + 1)…

We have gone back to old methods found in the historical part of Hardy's Divergent Series well before the invention of the modern analytic continuation to use formal manipulation of harmonic sums which produce some interesting formulae.…

We consider some closed-form evaluations of certain infinite sums involving the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta(s,\alpha)$ of the form \[\sum_{k=1}^\infty (\pm 1)^k k^m \zeta(s,k),\] where $m$ is a non-negative integer. For the sums with $m=0$…

We study the problem of representing integers as sums of prime numbers from a fixed Beatty sequence $B_{\alpha,\beta}$, where $\alpha>1$ is irrational and of finite type.

During 2022--2023 Z.-W. Sun posed many conjectures on infinite series with summands involving generalized harmonic numbers. Motivated by this, we deduce $58$ series identities involving harmonic numbers, eight of which were previously…

For any integer $k \geq 2$, let $\{Q_{n}^{(k)} \}_{n \geq -(k-2)}$ denote the $k$-generalized Pell-Lucas sequence which starts with $0, \dots ,2,2$($k$ terms) where each next term is the sum of the $k$ preceding terms. In this paper, we…

In this paper we study the distribution of the sequence $(\alpha \zeta^{n})_{n\geq 1}$ mod $1$, where $\alpha,\zeta$ are fixed positive real numbers, with special focus on the accumulation point $0$. For this purpose we introduce…

For $k\leq n$, let $E(mn,k)$ be the sum of all multiple zeta values of depth $k$ and weight $mn$ with arguments are multiples of $m\geq 2$. More precisely, $E(mn,k)=\sum_{|\boldsymbol{\alpha}|=n}\zeta(m\alpha_1,m\alpha_2,\ldots,…

For the random interval partition of $[0,1]$ generated by the uniform stick-breaking scheme known as GEM$(1)$, let $u_k$ be the probability that the first $k$ intervals created by the stick-breaking scheme are also the first $k$ intervals…

We present explicit formulas for the following family of parametric binomial sums involving harmonic numbers for $p=0,1,2$ and $|t|\leq1$. $$ \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{H_{k-1}t^k}{k^p\binom{n+k}{k}}\quad \mbox{and}\quad…

The set of indices that correspond to the positive entries of a sequence of numbers is called its positivity set. In this paper, we study the density of the positivity set of a given linear recurrence sequence, that is the question of how…
