Let $r,m$ be positive integers. Let $0\le x <1$ be a rational number. Let $\Phi_s(x,z)$ be the $s$-th Lerch function $\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\tfrac{z^{k+1}}{(k+x+1)^s}$ with $s=1,2,\ldots ,r$. When $x=0$, this is the polylogarithmic function.…
Let $q\ge3$ be an integer, $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character modulo $q$, and $L(s,\chi)$ denote the Dirichlet $L$-functions corresponding to $\chi$. In this paper, we show some special function series, and give some new identities for the…
In this paper we deal with composite rational functions having zeros and poles forming consecutive elements of an arithmetic progression. We also correct a result published earlier related to composite rational functions having a fixed…
We investigate the distribution of values of cubic Dirichlet $L$-functions at $s=1$. Following ideas of Granville and Soundararajan for quadratic $L$-functions, we model the distribution of $L(1,\chi)$ by the distribution of random Euler…
Let $L(s,\chi)$ be the Dirichlet $L$-function associated to a non trivial primitive Dirichlet character $\chi$ defined $\bmod\ q$, where $q$ is an odd prime. In this paper we introduce a fast method to compute $\vert L(1,\chi) \vert$ using…
We show that every linear functional on the Dirichlet space that is non-zero on nowhere-vanishing functions is necessarily a multiple of a point evaluation. Continuity of the functional is not assumed. As an application, we obtain a…
Let $f$ be an $E$-function (in Siegel's sense) not of the form $e^{\beta z}$, $\beta \in \overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, and let $\log$ denote any fixed determination of the complex logarithm. We first prove that there exists a finite set $S(f)$…
We study the low-lying zeros of certain Artin $L$-functions associated with $D_4$-quartic function fields. Specifically, we prove that when ordered by conductor, at least $77\%$ of these $L$-functions are non-vanishing at the central point.…
We use the Asymptotic Large Sieve and Levinson's method to obtain lower bounds for the proportion of simple zeros on the critical line of the twists by primitive Dirichlet characters of a fixed L-function of degree 1,2, or 3.
We obtain an asymptotic formula for all moments of Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(1,\chi)$ modulo $p$ when averaged over a subgroup of characters $\chi$ of size $(p-1)/d$ with $\varphi(d)=o(\log p)$. Assuming the infinitude of Mersenne primes,…
In this paper, we study the mean value distributions of Dirichlet $L$-functions at positive integers. We give some explicit formulas for the mean values of products of two and three Dirichlet $L$-functions at positive integers weighted by…
The purpose of this paper is to generalize our earlier work on the logarithm of the Riemann zeta-function to linear combinations of logarithms of primitive Dirichlet $L$-functions with constant real coefficients. Under the assumption of…
Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, it is known that at least half of the central values $L(\frac{1}{2},\chi)$ are non-vanishing as $\chi$ ranges over primitive characters modulo $q$. Unconditionally, this is known on average over…
It is an open question of Baker whether the numbers $L(1, \chi)$ for non-trivial Dirichlet characters $\chi$ with period $q$ are linearly independent over $\mathbb{Q}$. The best known result is due to Baker, Birch and Wirsing which affirms…
Using direct variational method we consider the existence of non-spurious solutions to the following Dirichlet problem $\ddot{x}\left( t\right) =f\left( t,x\left( t\right) \right) $, $x\left( 0\right) =x\left( 1\right) =0 $ where $f:\left[…
Given $c,$ a positive integer, we give an explicit formula and an asymptotic formula for \[ \sum\chi(c)|L(1,\,\chi)|^{2}, \] where $\chi$ is the non-trivial Dirichlet character mod $f$ with $f>c.$
First we show that the abscissae of uniform and absolute convergence of Dirichlet series coincide in the case of $L$-functions from the Selberg class $\mathcal{S}$. We also study the latter abscissa inside the extended Selberg class,…
Let $q\ge3$ be an integer, $\chi$ denote a Dirichlet character modulo $q$, for any real number $a\ge 0$, we define the generalized Dirichlet $L$-functions $$ L(s,\chi,a)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\chi(n)}{(n+a)^s}, $$ where $s=\sigma+it$…
This paper investigates the Dirichlet problem for a non-divergence form elliptic operator $L$ in a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^d$. Under certain conditions on the coefficients of $L$, we first establish the existence of a unique Green's…
In this note we define L-functions of finite graphs and study the particular case of finite cycles in the spirit of a previous paper that studied spectral zeta functions of graphs. The main result is a suggestive equivalence between an…
