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.…
Inspired by the recent work on $q$-congruences and the quadratic summation formula of Rahman, we provide some new $q$-supercongruences. By taking $q\to 1$ in one of our results, we obtain a new Ramanujan-type supercongruence, which has the…
In the present work, we extend current research in a nearly-forgotten but newly revived topic, initiated by P. A. MacMahon, on a generalized notion which relates the divisor sums to the theory of integer partitions and two infinite families…
We derive certain identities involving various known arithmetical functions and a generalized version of Ramanujan sum. L. Toth constructed certain weighted averages of Ramanujan sums with various arithmetic functions as weights. We choose…
In this paper, we study $C(x, y)$, the second moment of Ramanujan sums. Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis(RH), we establish an asymptotic formula for $C(x, y)$ with improved error term. Our analysis applies uniformly to the case where $x$ and…
We give "hybrid" proofs of the $q$-binomial theorem and other identities. The proofs are "hybrid" in the sense that we use partition arguments to prove a restricted version of the theorem, and then use analytic methods (in the form of the…
Let $G(n)=\sigma (n)/(n \log \log n )$. Robin made hypothesis that $G(n)<e^\gamma$ for all integer $n>5040$. This article divides all colossally abundant numbers in to three disjoint subsets CA1, CA2 and CA3, and shows that Robin hypothesis…
We propose analogs of the classical Generalized Riemann Hypothesis and the Generalized Simplicity Conjecture for the characteristic p L-series associated to function fields over a finite field. These analogs are based on the use of absolute…
The theory of supercharacters, recently developed by Diaconis-Isaacs and Andre, can be used to derive the fundamental algebraic properties of Ramanujan sums. This machinery frequently yields one-line proofs of difficult identities and…
A cubic partition consists of partition pairs $(\lambda,\mu)$ such that $\vert\lambda\vert+\vert\mu\vert=n$ where $\mu$ involves only even integers but no restriction is placed on $\lambda$. This paper initiates the notion of generalized…
A generalized Bailey pair, which contains several special cases considered by Bailey (\emph{Proc. London Math. Soc. (2)}, 50 (1949), 421--435), is derived and used to find a number of new Rogers-Ramanujan type identities. Consideration of…
We give new nested radical equations of similar kind to Ramanujan's questions to the Indian Mathematical Society 100 years ago. While many have since considered these from the perspectives of the Notebooks of Ramanujan and from the theory…
Let $(G_n(x))_{n=0}^\infty$ be a $d$-th order linear recurrence sequence having polynomial characteristic roots, one of which has degree strictly greater than the others. Moreover, let $m\geq 2$ be a given integer. We ask for…
An open problem concerning Riemann sums, posed by O. Furdui, is considered.
This paper gives a short but reasonably comprehensive review of Ramanujan's {_1\psi_1} summation and its generalisations. It covers the history of Ramanujan's summation, simple applications to sums of squares and orthogonal polynomials,…
This paper describes the expected characteristic polynomial of the commutator of randomly rotated matrices, in the context of the finite free probability theory initiated by Marcus, Spielman, and Srivastava. The key technical features are…
A cubic partition is an integer partition wherein the even parts can appear in two colors. In this paper, we introduce the notion of generalized cubic partitions and prove a number of new congruences akin to the classical Ramanujan-type. We…
We collect here various conjectures on congruences made by the author in a series of papers, some of which involve binary quadratic forms and other advanced theories. Part A consists of 100 unsolved conjectures of the author while…
A number theoretical model of $1/f$ noise found in phase locked loops is developed. The dynamics of phases and frequencies involved in the nonlinear mixing of oscillators and the low-pass filtering is formulated thanks to the rules of the…
In 1917, G.H.Hardy and S.Ramanujan proved that the `typical' number of prime factors of a positive integer $n$ is approximately $\ln\ln n$. In this technical paper we proffer a complete exposition of this proof, and further provide novel…
