A new method for continuing the usual Dirichlet series that defines the Riemann zeta function ${\zeta}(s)$ is presented. Numerical experiments demonstrating the computational efficacy of the resulting continuation are discussed.
We estimate the local laws of the distribution of the middle prime factor of an integer, defined according to multiplicity or not. An asymptotic estimate with effective remainder is provided for a wide range of values. In particular this…
This paper studies a class of exponential family models whose canonical parameters are specified as linear functionals of an unknown infinite-dimensional slope function. The optimal minimax rates of convergence for slope function estimation…

In [3], we have introduced a probability measure to study the power and exponential sums for a certain coding system. The distribution function of the probability measure gives explicit formulas for the power and exponential sums.…
In this work, the Lambert-Tsallis Wq function is used to provide analytical solutions of fractional polynomials of the type ax^r+bx^s+c = 0. This class of fractional polynomial appears in several areas of physics as well it is in the heart…
This paper extends Edgeworth-Cornish-Fisher expansions for the distribution and quantiles of nonparametric estimates in two ways. Firstly it allows observations to have different distributions. Secondly it allows the observations to be…

An unconditional inequality of the totient function is contributed to the literature. This result is associated with various problems about the distribution of prime numbers.
We study sums of a random multiplicative function; this is an example, of number-theoretic interest, of sums of products of independent random variables (chaoses). Using martingale methods, we establish a normal approximation for the sum…
We study a well-known problem concerning a random variable $Z$ uniformly distributed between two independent random variables. A new extension has been introduced for this problem and fairly large classes of randomly weighted average…
It is known, but perhaps not well-known, that when the mortality is assumed to be of Gompertz-Makeham-type, the expected remaining life-length and the commutation functions used for calculating the expected values of various types of life…
We provide sharp estimates for the distribution function of a martingale transform of the indicator function of an event. They are formulated in terms of Burkholder functions, which are reduced to the already known Bellman functions for…
The Waxman random graph is a generalisation of the simple Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi or Gilbert random graph. It is useful for modelling physical networks where the increased cost of longer links means they are less likely to be built, and thus less…
Transcendental functions, such as exponentials and logarithms, appear in a broad array of computational domains: from simulations in curvilinear coordinates, to interpolation, to machine learning. Unfortunately they are typically expensive…
The main focus of the present paper is to investigate several generating functions for a certain classes of functions associated to the Fox-Wright functions. In particular, certain generating functions for a class of function involving the…

The method of Maximum (relative) Entropy (ME) is used to translate the information contained in the known form of the likelihood into a prior distribution for Bayesian inference. The argument is guided by intuition gained from the…
A multivariable version of the strong maximal function is introduced and a sharp distributional estimate for this operator in the spirit of the Jessen, Marcinkiewicz, and Zygmund theorem is obtained. Conditions that characterize the…
Motivated by a probabilistic analysis of a simple game (itself inspired by a problem in computational learning theory) we introduce the \emph{moment zeta function} of a probability distribution, and study in depth some asymptotic properties…
