The Euler product for the Landau--Ramanujan constant could have motivated a curious identity by Ramanujan that appears in his notebooks two times. This observation involves a square root and the first four prime numbers of the form $4n+3$,…

The paper compares the asymptotic of the expressions $\frac {1} {x} \sum\limits_{n \leq x} {f(n)}$ and $\sum\limits_{n \leq x} {\frac {f(n)} {n}}$, $\frac {1} {x} \sum\limits_{p \leq x} {f(p)}$ and $\sum\limits_{p \leq x} {\frac {f(p)}…

Asymptotic expansions for generalised trigonometric integrals are obtained in terms of elementary functions, which are valid for large values of the parameter $a$ and unbounded complex values of the argument. These follow from new…

In this paper we establish a general asymptotic formula for the sum of the first $n$ prime numbers, which leads to a generalization of the most accurate asymptotic formula given by Massias and Robin. Further we prove a series of results…

We continue our study of convolution sums of two arithmetical functions $f$ and $g$, of the form $\sum_{n \le N} f(n) g(n+h)$, in the context of heuristic asymptotic formul\ae. Here, the integer $h\ge 0$ is called, as usual, the {\it shift}…

We prove an asymptotic Cram\'er's theorem, that is, if the sequence $(X_{n}+ Y_{n})_{n\geq 1}$ converges in law to the standard normal distribution and for every $n\geq 1$ the random variables $X_{n}$ and $Y_{n}$ are independent, then…

If a sequence $(a_n)$ of non-negative real numbers has ``best possible'' distribution in arithmetic progressions, Bombieri showed that one can deduce an asymptotic formula for the sum $\sum_{n\le x} a_n \Lambda_k(n)$ for $k\ge 2$. By…

After a brief introduction to Ramanujan's method of summation, we give an expansion of the Riemann Zeta function in the critical strip as a convergent series $\sum_{m\geq 0}x_m P_m(s) $ where the functions $P_m$ are polynomials with their…

We have found several summation formulas that extend Ramanujan's psi sum. First contains a parameter $\alpha=1/N$, $N$ is a positive integer, and transforms to $q$-beta integral in the limit $N\to\infty$. The other is a $q$-analogue of…

We consider integer sequences that satisfy a recursion of the form $x_{n+1} = P(x_n)$ for some polynomial $P$ of degree $d > 1$. If such a sequence tends to infinity, then it satisfies an asymptotic formula of the form $x_n \sim A…

Ramanujan made many beautiful and elegant discoveries in his short life of 32 years, and one of them that has attracted the attention of several mathematicians over the years is his intriguing formula for $\zeta(2n+1)$. To be sure,…

An arithmetical function $f$ is said to admit a \emph{Cohen-Ramanujan expansion} $f(n) := \sum\limits_{r}\widehat{f}(r)c_r^s(n)$, if the series on the right hand side converges for suitable complex numbers $\widehat{f}(r)$. Here $c_r^s(n)$…

This paper investigates Srinivasa Ramanujan's initial intuitive methodology for assigning the finite value -1/12 to the sum of the divergent infinite series of all positive integers. We systematically examine Ramanujan's initial method,…

We investigate the asymptotic expansion of integrals analogous to Ball's integral \[\int_0^\infty \left(\frac{\Gamma(1+\nu)|J_\nu(x)|}{(x/2)^\nu}\right)^{\!n}dx\] for large $n$ in which the Bessel function $J_\nu(x)$ is replaced by the…

Integral means are important class of bivariate means. In this paper we prove the very general algorithm for calculation of coefficients in asymptotic expansion of integral mean. It is based on explicit solving the equation of the form…

In this note, we prove that for all $x \in (0 , 1)$, we have: $$ \log\Gamma(x) = \frac{1}{2} \log\pi + \pi \boldsymbol{\eta} \left(\frac{1}{2} - x\right) - \frac{1}{2} \log\sin(\pi x) + \frac{1}{\pi} \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{\log n}{n}…

The method of asymptotic expansions is used to build an approximation scheme relevant to celestial mechanics in relativistic theories of gravitation. A scalar theory is considered, both as a simple example and for its own sake. This theory…

Asymptotic expansions are derived for Gegenbauer (ultraspherical) polynomials for large order $n$ that are uniformly valid for unbounded complex values of the argument $z$, including the real interval $0 \leq z \leq 1$ in which the zeros in…
