We investigate the location of zeros and poles of a dynamical zeta function arizing in a class of lattice spin models introduced in the 60-ties by M. Kac. The transfer operator method allows us to prove the xistence of infinitely nontrivial…
Stark and Terras introduced the edge zeta function of a finite graph in 1996. The edge zeta function is the reciprocal of a polynomial in twice as many variables as edges in the graph and can be computed in polynomial time. We look at graph…
In this paper we characterize the set of points where the lateral derivatives of the Takagi-Van der Waerden functions are infinite. We also prove that the set of points with infinite derivative has Hausdorff dimension one and Lebesgue…
This text describes the content of the Takagi lectures given by the author in Kyoto in 2017. The lectures present some aspects of the theory of sharp thresholds for boolean functions and its application to the study of phase transitions in…

In [7], Kwapie\'{n} announced that every mean zero function $f\in L_\infty[0,1]$ can be written as a coboundary $f = g\circ T -g$ for some $g\in L_\infty[0,1]$ and some measure preserving transformation $T$ of $[0,1]$. Whereas the original…
We describe a simple method that produces automatically closed forms for the coefficients of continued fractions expansions of a large number of special functions. The function is specified by a non-linear differential equation and initial…
Kaneko and Tsumura introduced a new kind of multiple zeta functions $\eta(k_1,\ldots,k_r;s_1,\ldots,s_r)$. This is an analytic function of complex variables $s_1,\ldots,s_r$, while $k_1,\ldots,k_r$ are non-positive integer parameters. In…
We define generalised zeta functions associated to indefinite quadratic forms of signature (g-1,1) -- and more generally, to complex symmetric matrices whose imaginary part has signature (g-1,1) -- and we investigate their properties. These…
For a fixed $\theta\neq 0$, we define the twisted divisor function $$ \tau(n, \theta):=\sum_{d\mid n}d^{i\theta}\ .$$ In this article we consider the error term $\Delta(x)$ in the following asymptotic formula $$ \sum_{n\leq x}^*|\tau(n,…

While the definition of a fractional integral may be codified by Riemann and Liouville, an agreed-upon fractional derivative has eluded discovery for many years. This is likely a result of integral definitions including numerous constants…
We show that a function $\tan(1/it)$ is a Pick function (free-infinitely divisible transform) and indicate its connections with a probability. Moreover, we found its "counterpart" in classical infinitely divisible measures expressed as…
The aim of this paper is to apply an original computation method due to Malesevic and Makragic [5] to the problem of approximating some trigonometric functions. Inequalities of Wilker-Cusa-Huygens are discussed, but the method can be…
This paper is about a forgotten function and a forgotten mathematician. The double gamma function is now an important special function, which appears for different reasons in many branches of mathematics and in mathematical physics, as it…
Whereas the Dirac delta function introduced by P. A. M. Dirac in 1930 in his famous quantum mechanics text has been well studied, a not famous formula related to the delta function using the Heaviside step function in a single-variable…
We express the Riemann zeta function $\zeta\left(s\right)$ of argument $s=\sigma+i\tau$ with imaginary part $\tau$ in terms of three absolutely convergent series. The resulting simple algorithm allows to compute, to arbitrary precision,…
Jacobi's $\theta$ function has numerous applications in mathematics and computer science; a naive algorithm allows the computation of $\theta(z,\tau)$, for $z, \tau$ verifying certain conditions, with precision $P$ in $O(\mathcal{M}(P)…
In 1914, Hardy proved that infinitely many non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function lie on the critical line using the transformation formula of the Jacobi theta function. Recently the first author obtained an integral representation…
