We propose a novel foundation for calculus that focuses on the notion of approximations while avoiding the use of limits altogether. Continuity is defined as approximation at a point, while differentiability is defined as approximation with…
Recently Ruckle \cite{RuckleArithmeticalSummability} introduced the theory of arithmetical summability suggested by the sum $ \sum_{k|m}f(k) $ as $ k $ ranges over the divisors of $m$ including $ 1 $ and $ m .$ Following Ruckle…
In this paper we present a generalization of Faulhaber's formula to sums of arbitrary complex powers $m\in\mathbb{C}$. These summation formulas for sums of the form $\sum_{k=1}^{\lfloor x\rfloor}k^{m}$ and $\sum_{k=1}^{n}k^{m}$, where…
This paper presents a family of rapidly convergent summation formulas for various finite sums of the form $\sum_{k=0}^{\lfloor x\rfloor}f(k)$, where $x$ is a positive real number.
Summation formulas, such as the Euler-Maclaurin expansion or Gregory's quadrature, have found many applications in mathematics, ranging from accelerating series, to evaluating fractional sums and analyzing asymptotics, among others. We show…
Generalized summability results are obtained regarding formal solutions of certain families of linear moment integro-differential equations with time variable coefficients. The main result leans on the knowledge of the behavior of the…
Let $f$ be an arithmetic function satisfying some simple conditions. The aim of this paper is to establish an asymptotical formula for the quantity \[ S_f(x):=\sum_{n\leq x}\frac{f([x/n])}{[x/n]} \] as $x\rightarrow\infty$, where $[t]$ is…
The goal of this article is to establish tauberian theorems for the $k$--summability processes defined by germs of analytic functions in several complex variables. The proofs are based on the tauberian theorems for $k$--summability in one…
We establish two general theorems on the local properties of the absolute summability of factored Fourier series by applying a recently defined absolute summability, $\left\vert A,\alpha_{n}\right\vert _{k}$ summability, and the class…
The main object of this paper is to find closed form expressions for finite and infinite sums that are weighted by $\omega(n)$, where $\omega(n)$ is the number of distinct prime factors of $n$. We then derive general convergence criteria…
Cauchy's sum theorem is a prototype of what is today a basic result on the convergence of a series of functions in undergraduate analysis. We seek to interpret Cauchy's proof, and discuss the related epistemological questions involved in…
We develop a finiteness notion for unbounded chain complexes over a commutative noetherian integral domain $R$ employing the Abel summation method. The algebraic K-theory of such complexes is defined, and shown to be non-trivial. We also…
Many economic theory models incorporate finiteness assumptions that, while introduced for simplicity, play a real role in the analysis. We provide a principled framework for scaling results from such models by removing these finiteness…
In difference algebra, summability arises as a basic problem upon which rests the effective solution of other more elaborate problems, such as creative telescoping problems and the computation of Galois groups of difference equations. In…
We prove that several results in different areas of number theory such as the divergent series, summation of arithmetic functions, uniform distribution modulo one and summation over prime numbers which are currently considered to be…
This document introduces a generalization of calculus that treats both continuous and discrete variables on an equal footing. This generalization of calculus was developed independently of the "Calculus on Time Scales" literature but may be…
A fundamental question in computer science is: Is it harder to solve $n$ instances independently than to solve them simultaneously? This question, known as the direct sum question or direct sum theorem, has been paid much attention in…
We extend several celebrated methods in classical analysis for summing series of complex numbers to series of complex matrices. These include the summation methods of Abel, Borel, Ces\'aro, Euler, Lambert, N\"orlund, and Mittag-Leffler,…
We present finitary formulations of two well known results concerning infinite series, namely Abel's theorem, which establishes that if a series converges to some limit then its Abel sum converges to the same limit, and Tauber's theorem,…
We present a common ground for infinite sums, unordered sums, Riemann/Lebesgue integrals, arc length and some generalized means. It is based on extending functions on finite sets using Hausdorff metric in a natural way.
