By construction, functions of Takagi power class are similar to Takagi's continuous nowhere differentiable function. These functions have one real parameter $p>0$. They are defined by the series $S_p(x) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty…

We study three combinatorial models for the lower-triangular matrix with entries $t_{n,k} = \binom{n}{k} n^{n-k}$: two involving rooted trees on the vertex set $[n+1]$, and one involving partial functional digraphs on the vertex set $[n]$.…

It is shown that for positive real numbers $ 0<\lambda_{1}<\dots<\lambda_{n}$, $\left[\frac{1}{\beta({\lambda_i}, {\lambda_j})}\right]$, where $ \beta(\cdot,\cdot)$ denotes the beta function, is infinitely divisible and totally positive.…

It is shown that, for every integer n>2, there exists \delta_{n}>0 such that the closure of the set of the real parts of the zeros of the nth partial sum of the Riemann zeta function \zeta_{n} contains to the interval [-\delta_{n},b^{n}].…

We prove that the Fourier coefficients of a certain general eta product considered by K. Saito are nonnegative. The proof is elementary and depends on a multidimensional theta function identity. The z=1 case is an identity for the…

Let $c_1(x),c_2(x),f_1(x),f_2(x)$ be polynomials with rational coefficients. With obvious exceptions, there can be at most finitely many roots of unity among the zeros of the polynomials $c_1(x)f_1(x)^n+c_2(x)f_2(x)^n$ with $n=1,2\ldots$.…

We develop the theory of compound functional differential equations, which are tensor and exterior products of linear functional differential equations. Of particular interest is the equation $\dot x(t)=-\alpha(t)x(t)-\beta(t)x(t-1)$ with a…

We establish that the elliptic equation $\Delta u+f(x,u)+g(| x|)x\cdot \nabla u=0$, where $x\in\mathbb{R}^{n}$, $n\geq3$, and $| x|>R>0$, has a positive solution which decays to 0 as $| x|\to +\infty$ under mild restrictions on the…

Recently, Voros has found the sums involving certain powers of z-1/2, which, when taken over Riemann xi-function zeroes /rho, must be positive for the Riemann hypothesis holds true and vice versa. Here we analyze these sums, write them as…

In this work we prove that an entire function $f(z)$ has only negative zeros if and only if its order is strictly less $1$, its root sequence is real-part dominating and there exists an nonnegative integer $m$ the real function…

In this paper, we show that all real zeros of the bilateral Hurwitz zeta function $Z(s,a):=\zeta (s,a) + \zeta (s,1-a)$ with $1/4 \le a \le 1/2$ are on only the non-positive even integers exactly same as in the case of $(2^s-1) \zeta (s)$.…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $a,b\in\mathbb Z$ with $p\nmid ab$. In this paper we mainly evaluate $$T_p^{(\delta)}(a,b,x):=\det\left[x+\tan\pi\frac{aj^2+bk^2}p\right]_{\delta\le j,k\le (p-1)/2}\ \ (\delta=0,1).$$ For example, in the case…

We introduce multiple versions of L-functions for Witten zeta functions. We study their algebraic and analytic properties. Especially we investigate the existence of zeros at negative integers. These results strongly suggest the universal…

Let A be an nxn (entrywise) positive matrix and let f(t)=det(I-t A). We prove that there always exists a positive integer N such that 1-f(t)^{1/N} has positive coefficients.

We consider partial theta series associated with periodic sequences of coefficients, of the form $\Theta(\tau) := \sum_{n>0} n^\nu f(n) e^{i\pi n^2\tau/M}$, with $\nu$ non-negative integer and an $M$-periodic function $f : \mathbb{Z}…

Levinson and Montgomery proved that the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$ and its derivative have approximately the same number of non-real zeros left of the critical line. R. Spira showed that $\zeta'(1/2+it)=0$ implies $\zeta(1/2+it)=0$.…
