We apply the Euler--Maclaurin formula to find the asymptotic expansion of the sums $\sum_{k=1}^n (\log k)^p / k^q$, ~$\sum k^q (\log k)^p$, ~$\sum (\log k)^p /(n-k)^q$, ~$\sum 1/k^q (\log k)^p $ in closed form to arbitrary order ($p,q…

A simple integration by parts and telescopic cancellation leads to a rigorous derivation of the first 2 terms for the error in Ramanujan's asymptotic series for the nth partial sum of the harmonic series. Then Kummer's transformation gives…

By modifying Beukers' proof of Apery's theorem that zeta(3) is irrational, we derive criteria for irrationality of Euler's constant, gamma. For n > 0, we define a double integral I(n) and a positive integer S(n), and prove that if d(n) =…

The Stieltjes constants $\gamma_n$ appear in the coefficients in the Laurent expansion of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ about the simple pole $s=1$. We present an asymptotic expansion for $\gamma_n$ as $n\rightarrow \infty$ based on…

A set S of integers is said to be multiplicative if for every pair m and n of coprime integers we have that mn is in S iff both m and n are in S. Both Landau and Ramanujan gave approximations to S(x), the number of n<=x that are in S, for…

Exact and asymptotic formulae are displayed for the coefficients $\lambda_n$ used in Li's criterion for the Riemann Hypothesis. In particular, we argue that if (and only if) the Hypothesis is true, $\lambda_n \sim n(A \log n +B)$ for $n \to…

Cohen-Ramanujan sum, denoted by $c_r^s(n)$, is an exponential sum similar to the Ramanujan sum $c_r(n):=\sum\limits_{\substack{h=1\\{(h,r)=1}}}^{r}e^{\frac{2\pi i n h}{r}}$. An arithmetical function $f$ is said to admit a Cohen-Ramanujan…

The sequence of 1/2-discrepancy sums of $\{x + i \theta \bmod 1\}$ is realized through a sequence of substitutions on an alphabet of three symbols; particular attention is paid to $x=0$. The first application is to show that any asymptotic…

In this short research note, we aim to establish an interesting extension of a summation due to Ramanujan.The result is derived with the help of an extension of Gauss's summation theorem available in the literature.

For two arithmetical functions $f$ and $g$, we study the convolution sum of the form $\sum_{n \le N} f(n) g(n+h)$ in the context of its asymptotic formula with explicit error terms. Here we introduce the concept of finite Ramanujan…

For a class of generalized holomorphic Eisenstein series, we establish complete asymptotic expansions (Theorems~1~and~2), which together with the explicit expression of the latter remainder (Theorem~3), naturally transfer to several new…

Using a variational approach, two new series representations for the incomplete Gamma function are derived: the first is an asymptotic series, which contains and improves over the standard asymptotic expansion; the second is a uniformly…

In this paper, we establish the irrationality of some open problems in mathematics based on using a recursive formula that generate the complete sequence of numbers. see [1] But before getting into that we begin with some Ramanujan notable…

An asymptotic formula for the sum of the first n primes is derived. This result improves the previous results of P. Dusart. Using this asymptotic expansion, we prove the conjectures of R. Mandl and G. Robin on the upper and the lower bound…

We examine the sum of modified Bessel functions with argument depending non-linearly on the summation index given by \[S_{\nu,p}(a)=\sum_{n\geq 1} (an^p/2)^{-\nu} K_\nu(an^p)\qquad (a>0,\ 0\leq\nu<1)\] as the parameter $a\to 0+$, where $p$…

The transformations of the sum identities for generalized harmonic and oscillatory numbers, obtained earlier in our recent report [1], enable us to derive the new identities expressed in terms of the corresponding square roots of x. At…

We consider the asymptotic expansion for $x\to\pm\infty$ of the entire function \[F_{n,\sigma}(x;\mu)=\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{\sin\,(n\gamma_k)}{\sin \gamma_k}\,\frac{x^k}{k! \Gamma(\mu-\sigma k)},\quad \gamma_k=\frac{(k+1)\pi}{2n}\] for…

Asymptotic expansions of series $\sum_{k=0}^\infty \epsilon^k(k+a)^\gamma e^{-(k+a)^\alpha x}$ and $\sum_{k=0}^\infty \epsilon^k(k+a)^\gamma / (x(k+a)^\alpha+1)^\mu}$ in powers of $x$ as $x\to+0$ are found, where $\epsilon=1$ or…

Exact and asymptotic formulae are displayed for the coefficients $\lambda_n$ used in Li's criterion for the Riemann Hypothesis. For $n \to \infty$ we obtain that if (and only if) the Hypothesis is true, $\lambda_n \sim n(A \log n +B)$ (with…

Asymptotic expansions are given for large values of $n$ of the generalized Bernoulli polynomials $B_n^\mu(z)$ and Euler polynomials $E_n^\mu(z)$. In a previous paper L\'opez and Temme (1999) these polynomials have been considered for large…
