We establish several new $\Omega$-theorems for logarithmic derivatives of the Riemann zeta function and Dirichlet $L$-functions. In particular, this improves on earlier work of Landau (1911), Bohr-Landau (1913), and recent work of Lamzouri.

In the study of Zeilberger's conjecture on an integer sequence related to the Catalan numbers, Lassalle proposed the following conjecture. Let $(t)_n$ denote the rising factorial, and let $\Lambda_{\mathbb{R}}$ denote the algebra of…

We show that the graph of the classical Weierstrass function $\sum_{n=0}^\infty \lambda^n \cos (2\pi b^n x)$ has Hausdorff dimension $2+\log\lambda/\log b$, for every integer $b\ge 2$ and every $\lambda\in (1/b,1)$. Replacing $\cos(2\pi x)$…

In this paper, we compute and verify the positivity of the Li coefficients for the Dirichlet $L$-functions using an arithmetic formula established in Omar and Mazhouda, J. Number Theory 125 (2007) no.1, 50-58; J. Number Theory 130 (2010)…

We prove that if cf(lambda) > aleph_0 and 2^{cf(lambda)}<lambda, then lambda->(lambda,omega+1)^2.

Let $M(x)$ denote the largest cardinality of a subset of $\{n \in \mathbf{N}: n \leq x\}$ on which the Euler totient function $\varphi(n)$ is non-decreasing. We show that $M(x) = (1+O(\frac{(\log\log x)^5}{\log x})) \pi(x)$ for all $x \geq…

For Dirichlet characters $\chi$ mod $k$ where $k\geq 3$, we here give a computable formula for evaluating the mean square sums $\sum\limits_{\substack{\chi \text{ mod }k\\\chi(-1)=(-1)^r}}|L(r,\chi)|^2$ for any positive integer $r\geq 3$.…

Let $u$ be the first Dirichlet Laplacian eigenfunction of a bounded convex set $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We strengthen the classical result by Brascamp-Lieb which asserts that $u$ is logconcave in $\Omega$: we prove that, if $u$ is…

We prove that the partition function $p(n)$ is log-concave for all $n>25$. We then extend the results to resolve two related conjectures by Chen. The proofs are based on Lehmer's estimates on the remainders of the Hardy--Ramanujan and the…

In 2007, A.I.Aptekarev and his collaborators discovered a sequence of rational approximations to Euler's constant $\gamma$ defined by a linear recurrence. In this paper, we generalize this result and present an explicit construction of…

The function $y = g(x) = \mathrm{log}\big(W(e^x)\big)$, where $W()$ denotes the Lambert W function, is the solution to the equation $y + e^y = x$. It appears in various problem situations, for instance the calculation of current-voltage…

The purpose of the present paper is to reveal the relation between the behavior of the logarithm of the Riemann zeta-function $\log{\zeta(s)}$ and the distribution of zeros of the Riemann zeta-function. We already know some examples for the…

We find a simple criterion for the equality $Q_\lambda=Q_{\mu/\nu}$ where $Q_\lambda$ and $Q_{\mu/\nu}$ are Schur's Q-functions on infinitely many variables.

The logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n$ of an analytic and univalent function $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ with the normalization $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$ are defined by $\log \frac{f(z)}{z}= 2\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}…

Denote by $N_{\cal N} (\Omega,\lambda)$ the counting function of the spectrum of the Neumann problem in the domain $\Omega$ on the plane. G. P\'olya conjectured that $N_{\cal N} (\Omega,\lambda) \ge (4\pi)^{-1} |\Omega| \lambda$. We prove…

In the article, a notion "logarithmically absolutely monotonic function" is introduced, an inclusion that a logarithmically absolutely monotonic function is also absolutely monotonic is revealed, the logarithmically complete monotonicity…

Let $f(n)$ denote the number of unordered factorizations of a positive integer $n$ into factors larger than $1$. We show that the number of distinct values of $f(n)$, less than or equal to $x$, is at most $\exp \left( C \sqrt{\frac{\log…

In this paper we present a purely syntactical proof of the operational equivalence of $I=\lambda xx$ and the $\lambda$-term $J$ that is the $\eta$-infinite expansion of $I$.

We present a $q$-analog of the super Catalan number $(2m)!(2n)!/2m!n!(m+n)!$, which also generalizes the $q$-Catalan numbers $c_n(\lambda)$, due to F\"urlinger and Hofbauer, for $\lambda=0$ and $\lambda=1$. We give a combinatorial…

We prove omega results for the central value of $L$-functions with the further condition that the angle is also constrained.
