The Ramanujan sum $c_n(k)$ is defined as the sum of $k$-th powers of the primitive $n$-th roots of unity. We investigate arithmetic functions of $r$ variables defined as certain sums of the products $c_{m_1}(g_1(k))...c_{m_r}(g_r(k))$,…

Ramanujan's trigonometric sum $c_q(n)$ can be interpreted as a set of trigonometric moments of a finite measure concentrated at primitive $q$-th roots of unity with equal masses. This gives rise to sets of corresponding polynomials…

Let $c_q(n)$ denote the Ramanujan sum modulo $q$, and let $x$ and $y$ be large reals, with $x = o(y)$. We obtain asymptotic formulas for the sums $$\sum_{n \le y}(\sum_{q \le x} c_q(n))^k \qquad (k = 1, 2).$$

Starting with Ramanujan's famous taxicab problem, we can study the solvability of the equations $p^n+q^n=r^n+s^n$ and, more generally, $p_1^{k_1}+\dots+p_m^{k_m}=0$ among polynomials.

One variant of the $q$-Catalan polynomials is defined in terms of Gaussian polynomials by $\mathcal{C}_k(q)=\genfrac{[}{]}{0pt}{}{2k}{k}_q-q\genfrac{[}{]}{0pt}{}{2k}{k+1}_q$. Liu studied congruences of the form $\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}…

We give explicit upper bounds for coefficients of polynomials appearing in Gauss-Kra\"{i}tchik formula for cyclotomic polynomials. We use a certain relation between elementary symmetric polynomials and power sums polynomials.

We study a new kind of symmetric polynomials P_n(x_1,...,x_m) of degree n in m real variables, which have arisen in the theory of numerical semigroups. We establish their basic properties and find their representation through the power sums…

Let $\Psi_n(x)$ be the monic polynomial having precisely all non-primitive $n$th roots of unity as its simple zeros. One has $\Psi_n(x)=(x^n-1)/\Phi_n(x)$, with $\Phi_n(x)$ the $n$th cyclotomic polynomial. The coefficients of $\Psi_n(x)$…

Let K be a cubic number field. In this paper, we study the Ramanujan sums c_{J}(I), where I and J are integral ideals in O_{K}. The asymptotic behaviour of sums of c_{J}(I) over both I and J is investigated.

This paper investigates coefficients of cyclotomic polynomials theoretically and experimentally. We prove the following result. {{\em If $n=p_1\ldots p_k$ where $p_i$ are odd primes and $p_1<p_2<\ldots<p_r<p_1+p_2<p_{r+1}<\ldots<p_t$ with…

The notion of block divisibility naturally leads one to introduce unitary cyclotomic polynomials. We formulate some basic properties of unitary cyclotomic polynomials and study how they are connected with cyclotomic, inclusion-exclusion and…

We introduce the subsum polynomial of a partition $\lambda=(\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \ldots, \lambda_k)$ defined by $\mathrm{sp}(\lambda, x)=\prod_{i=1}^k(1+x^{\lambda_i})$. We study the sum of reciprocals of $\mathrm{sp}(\lambda, x)$ over all…

We prove exact asymptotic expansions for the partial sums of the sequences of central binomial coefficients and Catalan numbers, $\sum_{k=0}^n \binom{2k}{k}$ and $\sum_{k=0}^n C_n$. We also obtain closed forms for the polynomials…

Consider the linear congruence equation $x_1+\ldots+x_k \equiv b\,(\text{mod } n)$ for $b,n\in\mathbb{Z}$. By $(a,b)_s$, we mean the largest $l^s\in\mathbb{N}$ which divides $a$ and $b$ simultaneously. For each $d_j|n$, define…
