For any $s\in (1/2,1]$, the series$F_s(x)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} e^{i\pi n^2 x}/n^s$ converges almost everywhere on $[-1,1]$ by a result of Hardy-Littlewood, but not everywhere. However, there does not yet exist an intrinsic description of the…

We give a brief review of the main results of the theory of elliptic hypergeometric functions -- a new class of special functions of mathematical physics. We prove the most general univariate exact integration formula generalizing Euler's…

Without Borel or Pad$\acute{e}$ techniques, we show that for a divergent series with $n!$ large-order growth factor, the set of Hypergeometric series $_{k+1}F_{k-1}$ represents suitable approximants for which there exist no free parameters.…

We describe a uniform way of obtaining basic hypergeometric functions as limits of the elliptic beta integral. This description gives rise to the construction of a polytope with a different basic hypergeometric function attached to each…

In this paper, we introduce a novel indefinite summation $\sum_{t} f(t)$ (or antidifference $\Delta ^{-1}f(t) $ ) formula for any given function $f$. We apply the indefinite summation formula to calculate a particular solution to a…

We obtain results bounding the degree of the series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} 1/\alpha_n$, where $\{\alpha_n\}$ is a sequence of algebraic integers satisfying certain algebraic conditions and growth conditions. Our results extend results of…

We prove transcendence of the Hecke-Mahler series $\sum_{n=0}^\infty f(\lfloor n\theta+\alpha \rfloor) \beta^{-n}$, where $f(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ is a non-constant polynomial $\alpha$ is a real number, $\theta$ is an irrational real…

For an analytic function f(z)=z+\sum_{n=2}^\infty a_n z^n satisfying the inequality \sum_{n=2}^\infty n(n-1)|a_n|\leq \beta, sharp bound on $\beta$ is determined so that $f$ is either starlike or convex of order $\alpha$. Several other…

Suppose a complex function $f$ has a Lebesgue measurable inverse Laplace transform. We show that the $n$th order forward and backward differences of $f$ at $z_0\in\mathbb{C}$ tend to zero as $n\to\infty$ whenever $z_0$ lies in the region of…

Let $r\geq3$ and $G$ be an $r$-uniform hypergraph with vertex set $\left\{ 1,\ldots,n\right\} $ and edge set $E$. Let \[ \mu\left( G\right) :=\max {\textstyle\sum\limits_{\left\{ i_{1},\ldots,i_{r}\right\} \in E}} x_{i_{1}}\cdots x_{i_{r}},…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements, $\psi$ a non-zero element of $\mathbb{F}_q$, and $n$ an integer $\geq 3$ prime to $q$. The aim of this article is to show that the zeta function of the projective variety over…

In a recent work, Gun and co-workers have proposed that $\,\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}{(n+\alpha)^{-k}}\,$ is a transcendental number for all integer $\,k$, $k > 1$, and $\,\alpha \in \mathbb{Q} \backslash \mathbb{Z}$. Here in this work, this…

The second order hypergeometric q-difference operator is studied for the value c=-q. For certain parameter regimes the corresponding recurrence relation can be related to a symmetric operator on the Hilbert space l^2(Z). The operator has…

We describe a solution of the Gauss hypergeometric equation, $F(\alpha,\beta,\gamma;z)$ by power series in paramaters $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$ whose coefficients are $\Z$ linear combinations of multiple polylogarithms. And using the…

Let $S_m f$ denote the $m$-th partial sum of the Walsh-Fourier series of $f \in L^1$. For an increasing sequence $a=(a(n))_{n \geq 1}$ of positive integers, consider the arithmetic means $$ \sigma_N f:=\frac{1}{N} \sum_{n=1}^N S_{a(n)} f .…

We show that for a fixed integer $n \neq \pm2$, the congruence $x^2 + nx \pm 1 \equiv 0 \pmod{\alpha}$ has the solution $\beta$ with $0 < \beta < \alpha$ if and only if $\alpha/\beta$ has a continued fraction expansion with sequence of…

Let $D$ be a convex subset of a real vector space. It is shown that a radially lower semicontinuous function $f: D\to \mathbf{R}\cup \{+\infty\}$ is convex if and only if for all $x,y \in D$ there exists $\alpha=\alpha(x,y) \in (0,1)$ such…
