This paper presents new formulae for the harmonic numbers of order $k$, $H_{k}(n)$, and for the partial sums of two Fourier series associated with them, denoted here by $C^m_{k}(n)$ and $S^m_{k}(n)$. I believe this new formula for…

We prove some distribution results for the $k$-fold divisor function in arithmetic progressions to moduli that exceed the square-root of length $X$ of the sum, with appropriate constrains and averaging on the moduli, saving a power of $X$…

This study presents explicit evaluations of the series \begin{equation*} \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{H_{k/n}^{(p)}}{k^q} \quad \text{and} \quad \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^k H_{k/2n}^{(p)}}{k^q}, \quad p,q,n \in \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 1},\; q \ne 1,…

In 1951, Linnik proved the existence of a constant $K$ such that every sufficiently large even number is the sum of two primes and at most $K$ powers of 2. Since then, this style of approximation has been considered for problems similar to…

Let $\Delta(x)$ denote the error term in the classical Dirichlet divisor problem, and let the modified error term in the divisor problem be $\Delta^*(x) = -\Delta(x) + 2\Delta(2x) - \frac{1}{2}\Delta(4x)$. We show that $$…

Let $H_k$ be the set of all normalized primitive holomorphic cusp forms of even integral weight $k\geq 2$ for the full modular group $SL(2, \mathbb{Z})$, and let $j\geq 3$ be any fixed integer. For $f\in H_k$, we write $\lambda_{{\rm{sym}^j…

For $n \geq 3$, an asymptotic formula is derived for the number of representations of a sufficiently large natural number $N$ as a sum of $r = 2^n + 1$ summands, each of which is an $n$-th power of natural numbers $x_i$, $i = \overline{1,…

The ternary Goldbach conjecture states that every odd number n>=7 is the sum of three primes. The estimation of sums of the form \sum_{p\leq x} e(\alpha p), \alpha = a/q + O(1/q^2), has been a central part of the main approach to the…

We show for all $1/2 \le \sigma \le 1$ and $t\ge 3$ that $\zeta(\sigma+it)| \le 76.2 t^{4.45 (1-\sigma)^{3/2}}$, where $\zeta$ is the Riemann zeta function. This significantly improves the previous bounds, where $4.45$ is replaced by…

Let as usual $Z(t) = \zeta(1/2+it)\chi^{-1/2}(1/2+it)$ denote Hardy's function, where $\zeta(s) = \chi(s)\zeta(1-s)$. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis upper and lower bounds for some integrals involving $Z(t)$ and $Z'(t)$ are proved. It is…

We establish the Alexandroff-Bakelman-Pucci estimate, the Harnack inequality, the H\"older regularity and the Schauder estimates to a class of degenerate parabolic equations of non-divergence form in all dimensions \begin{equation}…

Let $\{E_n\}$ be the Euler numbers. In the paper we determine $E_{2^mk+b}-E_b$ modulo $2^{m+7}$, where $k$ and $m$ are positive integers and $b\in{0,2,4,...}$.

Let $f(z)=\sum_{n\ge0}a_n z^n$ be a transcendental entire function and write $M(r,f):=\max_{|z|=r}|f(z)|$ and $\mu(r,f):=\max_{n\ge0}|a_n|\,r^n$. A problem of Erd\H{o}s asks for the value of $$ B:=\sup_f…

For integer $k \geq 1$, let $S_k(n)$ denote the sum of the $k$th powers of the first $n$ positive integers. In this paper, we derive a new formula expressing $2^{2k}$ times $S_{2k}(n)$ as a sum of $k$ terms involving the numbers in the…

We show that the expected asymptotic for the sums $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} \Lambda(n) \Lambda(n+h)$, $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} d_k(n) d_l(n+h)$, and $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} \Lambda(n) d_k(n+h)$ hold for almost all $h \in [-H,H]$, provided that…

We establish an existence result for globally continuous weak solutions to elliptic equations of the $p$-Poisson type. This result significantly improves Theorem 8.30 in Gilbarg-Trudinger (1983) and offers a novel contribution for the…

We combine Wooley's efficient congruencing method with earlier work of Vinogradov and Hua to get effective bounds on Vinogradov's mean value theorem.

We examine exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n \le X} w(n) e^{2\pi i\alpha n^k}$, for $k=1,2$, where $\alpha$ satisfies a generalized Diophantine approximation and where $w$ are different arithmetic functions that might be multiplicative,…

The Hardy-Littlewood majorant problem has a positive answer only for expo- nents p which are even integers, while there are counterexamples for all p =2 2N. Montgomery conjectured that there exist counterexamples even among idempotent…
