For two arithmetical functions $f$ and $g$, we study the convolution sum of the form $\sum_{n \le N} f(n) g(n+h)$ in the context of its asymptotic formula with explicit error terms. Here we introduce the concept of finite Ramanujan…

The study of Ramanujan-type congruences for functions specific to additive number theory has a long and rich history. Motivated by recent connections between divisor sums and overpartitions via congruences in arithmetic progressions, we…

In this paper, we represent a continued fraction expression of Mathieu series by a continued fraction formula of Ramanujan. As application, we obtain some new bounds for Mathieu series.

We give a lower bound for the degree of an irreducible factor of a given polynomial. This improves and generalizes the results obtained in [4, On the irreducible factors of a polynomial, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 148 (2020] 1429 -- 1437].

We establish an uniform factorial decay estimate for the Taylor approximation of solutions to controlled differential equations. Its proof requires a factorial decay estimate for controlled paths which is interesting in its own right.

We prove upper and lower bounds for certain sums of products of fractional parts by using majoring and minorizing functions from Fourier analysis. In special cases the upper bounds are sharp if there exist counterexamples to the Littlewood…

In this paper, the authors present sharp approximations in terms of sine function and polynomials for the so-called Ramanujan constant (or the Ramanujan $R$-function) $R(a)$, by showing some monotonicity, concavity and convexity properties…

We generalize certain recent results of Ushiroya concerning Ramanujan expansions of arithmetic functions of two variables. We also show that some properties on expansions of arithmetic functions of one and several variables using classical…

We study the problem of maximizing a function that is approximately submodular under a cardinality constraint. Approximate submodularity implicitly appears in a wide range of applications as in many cases errors in evaluation of a…

We revisit several entries from Ramanujan's notebooks which follow from more elementary arguments than a first glance may suggest. Our goal is to demystify these results through more accessible proofs, while also shining some light on the…

The goal of this work is to fill a gap in [Yang, SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl, 41 (2020), 1797--1825]. In that work, an approximation procedure was proposed for orthogonal low-rank tensor approximation; however, the approximation lower bound…

For two arithmetical functions $f$ and $g$ with absolutely convergent Ramanujan expansions, Murty and Saha have recently derived asymptotic formulas with error term for the convolution sum $\sum_{n \le N} f(n) g(n+h)$ under some suitable…

Let $a > 1$. Then $a^n < n!$ for some positive integer $n$. We show that the smallest such $n$ is one of a pair of possibilities, or is one possibility, which we show how to calculate. There are three interesting numerical sequences which…

In this self-contained short note, we introduce the new definition of Good Ramanujan Expansion, say G.R.E., for a fixed arithmetic function $F$, building upon a good decay of its coefficients $G$; this, gains $\log-$powers w.r.t. the…

We give explicit and asymptotic lower bounds for the quantity $|e^{s/t}-M/N|$ by studying a generalized continued fraction expansion of $e^{s/t}$. In cases $|s|\geq 3$ we improve existing results by extracting a large common factor from the…

In some recent papers, the authors considered regular continued fractions of the form \[ [a_{0};\underbrace{a,...,a}_{m}, \underbrace{a^{2},...,a^{2}}_{m}, \underbrace{a^{3},...,a^{3}}_{m}, ... ], \] where $a_{0} \geq 0$, $a \geq 2$ and $m…

In this paper, we establish the irrationality of some open problems in mathematics based on using a recursive formula that generate the complete sequence of numbers. see [1] But before getting into that we begin with some Ramanujan notable…

In this paper, we obtain several new factorization results for certain classes of polynomials having integer coefficients. In doing so, we use the information about prime factorization of the value taken up by such polynomials and their…

We derive simple but nearly tight upper and lower bounds for the binomial lower tail probability (with straightforward generalization to the upper tail probability) that apply to the whole parameter regime. These bounds are easy to compute…

We study a number of possible extensions of the Ramanujan master theorem, which is formulated here by using methods of Umbral nature. We discuss the implications of the procedure for the theory of special functions, like the derivation of…
