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…

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…

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

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…

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…

The bilateral series corresponding to many of the third-, fifth-, sixth- and eighth order mock theta functions may be derived as special cases of $_2\psi_2$ series \[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{(a,c;q)_n}{(b,d;q)_n}z^n. \] Three…

Let [\theta] denote the integer part and {\theta} the fractional part of the real number \theta. For \theta > 1 and {\theta^{1/n}} \neq 0, define M_{\theta}(n) = [1/{\theta^{1/n}}]. The arithmetic function M_{\theta}(n) is eventually…

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…

Partial zeta functions of algebraic varieties over finite fields generalize the classical zeta function by allowing each variable to be defined over a possibly different extension field of a fixed finite field. Due to this extra variation…

Let $\theta:[0,1]\rightarrow[-\infty,+\infty]$ be a function with both $\theta(x^{-})$ and $\theta(x^{+})$ existing for every $x\in [0,1]$ and $\vartheta:[-\infty,+\infty]\rightarrow[-\infty,+\infty]$ be a function. In this article we…

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…

Let $d_{\alpha, \beta}(n)=\sum\limits_{\substack{n=kl \alpha l<k\leq\beta l}}1$ be the number of ways of factoring n into two almost equal integers. For rational numbers $0<\alpha <\beta $, we consider the following Zeta function…

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…

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…

We study the Lambert series $\mathscr{L}_q(s,x) = \sum_{k=1}^\infty k^s q^{k x}/(1-q^k)$, for all $s \in \mathbb{C}$. We obtain the complete asymptotic expansion of $\mathscr{L}_q(s,x)$ near $q=1$. Our analysis of the Lambert series yields…

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…

Let $$ T(q)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty d(k) q^k, \quad |q|<1, $$ where $d(k)$ denotes the number of positive divisors of the natural number $k$. We present monotonicity properties of functions defined in terms of $T$. More specifically, we proved…

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…
