For $0 < a \le 1/2$, we define the quadrilateral zeta function $Q(s,a)$ using the Hurwitz and periodic zeta functions and show that $Q(s,a)$ satisfies Riemann's functional equation studied by Hamburger, Heck and Knopp. Moreover, we prove…

Let $0 < a \le 1/2$ and define the quadrilateral zeta function by $2Q(s,a) := \zeta (s,a) + \zeta (s,1-a) + {\rm{Li}}_s (e^{2\pi ia}) + {\rm{Li}}_s(e^{2\pi i(1-a)})$, where $\zeta (s,a)$ is the Hurwitz zeta function and ${\rm{Li}}_s…

In this paper we study the Theta splitting function $\Theta(s+1)$, a function defined on the positive integers. We study the distribution of this function for sufficiently large values of the integers. As an application we show that…

We obtain infinite product expansions in the sense of Borcherds for theta functions associated with certain positive-definite binary quadratic and binary hermitian forms. Among other things, we show that every weight 1 binary theta function…

I study the leading root x_0(y) of the partial theta function \Theta_0(x,y) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n y^{n(n-1)/2}, considered as a formal power series. I prove that all the coefficients of -x_0(y) are strictly positive. Indeed, I prove the…

In this work we prove that certain entire $q$-functions have infinitely many nonzero roots $\left\{ \rho_{n}\right\} _{n=1}^{\infty}$, as $n\to+\infty$ the moduli $\left|\rho_{n}\right|$ grow at least exponentially. Applications to entire…

Let $Q$ be a positive definite quadratic form with integral coefficients and let $E(s,Q)$ be the Epstein zeta function associated with $Q$. Assume that the class number of $Q$ is bigger than $1$. Then we estimate the number of zeros of…

Multiple q-zeta values are a 1-parameter generalization (in fact, a q-analog) of the multiple harmonic sums commonly referred to as multiple zeta values. These latter are obtained from the multiple q-zeta values in the limit as q tends to…

In this paper we set up a bivariate representation of partial theta functions which not only unifies some famous identities for partial theta functions due to Andrews and Warnaar, et al. but also unveils a new characteristic of such…

Recently Alan Sokal studied the leading root $x_0(q)$ of the partial theta function $\Theta_0(x,q)=\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty x^nq^{\binom n2}$, considered as a formal power series. He proved that all the coefficients of…

Let \begin{equation*} A_{q}^{(\alpha)}(a;z) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{(a;q)_{k} q^{\alpha k^2} z^k} {(q;q)_{k}}, \end{equation*} where $\alpha >0,~0<q<1.$ In a paper of Ruiming Zhang, he asked under what conditions the zeros of the entire…

It is shown that there is an absolute constant $C$ such that any rational $\frac bq\in]0, 1[, (b, q)=1$, admits a representation as a finite sum $\frac bq=\sum_\alpha\frac {b_\alpha}{q_\alpha}$ where $\sum_\alpha\sum_ia_i(\frac…

In the space of bounded real-valued functions on the interval $(0,1)$, we study the convergent sequences of $q$-analogues of multiple zeta values which do not converge to $0$. And we obtain the derived sets of the set of some $q$-analogue…

One of the generalizations of multiple zeta values is the $q$-version, and in the case of finite sums, they may be expressed explicitly in polynomial form. Several results have been found when the powers of the factors in the denominator…

We obtain formulas for the coefficients of positive and negative powers of a partial theta function.

Let $L(s)=\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}\dfrac{a(n)}{n^s}$ be a Dirichlet series were $a(n)$ is a bounded completely multiplicative function. We prove that if $L(s)$ extends to a holomorphic function on the open half space $\Re s >1-\delta$,…

For $\frac12<p<\infty$, $0<q<\infty$ and a certain two-sided doubling weight $\omega$, we characterize those inner functions $\Theta$ for which $$\|\Theta'\|_{A^{p,q}_\omega}^q=\int_0^1 \left(\int_0^{2\pi} |\Theta'(re^{i\theta})|^p…
