The multiple zeta values (MZV) are a set of real numbers with a beautiful structure as an algebra over the rational numbers. They are related to maybe the most important conjecture on mathematics today, the Riemann hypothesis. In this paper…
In this paper we adopt a geometric point of view regarding a famous conjecture due to Littlewood in diophantine approximation of real numbers. Following the spirit of the geometric theory of continued fractions, we give a sufficient…
We provide new formulas for the coefficients in the partial fraction decomposition of the restricted partition generating function. These techniques allow us to partially resolve a recent conjecture of Sills and Zeilberger. We also describe…
We prove versions of Khintchine's Theorem (1924) for approximations by rational numbers whose numerators lie in randomly chosen sets of integers, and we explore the extent to which the monotonicity assumption can be removed. Roughly…
We discuss a number of naturally arising problems in arithmetic, culled from completely unrelated sources, which turn out to have a common formulation involving "thin" orbits. These include the local-global problem for integral Apollonian…
The strong recurrence is equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis. On the other hand, the generalized strong recurrence holds for any irrational number. In this paper, we show the generalized strong recurrence for all non-zero rational numbers.…
We formulate and discuss a conjecture which would extend a classical inequality of Bernstein.
We use the Schmidt Subspace Theorem to establish the transcendence of a class of quasi-periodic continued fractions. This improves earlier works of Maillet and of A. Baker. We also improve an old result of Davenport and Roth on the rate of…
We give a simple proof of some explicit formulas of periodic continuants by Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind given by Rozsa.
We contribute to the lively debate in current scholarship on the Leibnizian calculus. In a recent text, Arthur and Rabouin argue that non-Archimedean continua are incompatible with Leibniz's concepts of number, quantity and magnitude. They…
We unify and generalize formulas obtained by Campillo, Delgado and Gusein-Zade in their series of articles. Positive results are established for rational and minimally elliptic singularities. By examples and counterexamples we also try to…
The paper [GLZ] "L-functions of Carlitz modules, resultantal varieties and rooted binary trees" is devoted to a description of some resultantal varieties related to L-functions of Carlitz modules. It contains a conjecture that some of these…
We study incommensurate fractional variational problems in terms of a generalized fractional integral with Lagrangians depending on classical derivatives and generalized fractional integrals and derivatives. We obtain necessary optimality…
Dumont has conjectured a marvellous identity, which generalizes, in particular, the classical results of Lagrange, Gauss, Jacobi and Kronecker on the sums of two, three and four squares. We give a combinatorial proof of Dumont's conjecture.
We give new closed and explicit formulas for "multiple zeta values" at non-positive integers of generalized Euler-Zagier multiple zeta-functions. We first prove these formulas for a small convenient class of these multiple zeta-functions…
We develop techniques to deal with monotonicity of sequences z_{n+1}/z_n and \sqrt[n]{z_n}. A series of conjectures of Zhi-Wei Sun and of Amdeberhan et al. are verified in certain unified approaches.
Two longest-run statistics are studied: the longest run of a fixed value and the longest run over all values. Under quantitative mixing and exponential cylinder estimates for constant words, a general theorem is proved. Quantitative…
Under the Riemann Hypothesis, we prove for any natural number $r$ there exist infinitely many large natural numbers $n$ such that $(\gamma_{n+r}-\gamma_n)/(2\pi /\log \gamma_n) > r + \Theta\sqrt{r}$ and $(\gamma_{n+r}-\gamma_n)/(2\pi /\log…
We prove the exponential growth of the cardinality of the set of numbers of spanning trees in simple (and planar) graphs on $n$ vertices, answering a question of Sedl\'a\v{c}ek from 1969. The proof uses a connection with continued…
We answer a question of Drungilas-Dubickas in the affirmative under the assumption of standard conjectures on smooth numbers in polynomial sequences. This gives evidence against the "Dubickas Conjecture", which Ka\v{c}inskait\.e and…
