The Riemann zeta function can be written as the Mellin transform of the unit interval map w(x) = floor(1/x)*(-1+x*floor(1/x)+x) multiplied by s((s+1)/(s-1)). A finite-sum approximation to \zeta (s) denoted by \zeta_w(N;s) which has real…
Given positive coprime integers $a$ and $b$ and a natural number $h$, we obtain reciprocity relations which can be used to quickly evaluate summations like $\sum_{i=1}^{h} \{\frac{ib}{a}\}^2$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{h} \lfloor \frac{ib}{a}…
The literature on Dedekind sums is vast. In this expository paper we show that there is a common thread to many generalizations of Dedekind sums, namely through the study of lattice point enumeration of rational polytopes. In particular,…
We recall a proof of Euler's identity $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^2}=\frac{\pi^2}{6}$ involving the evaluation of a double integral. We extend the method to find Hurwitz Zeta series of the form $S(k,a)=\sum_{n \in \mathbb{Z}}…
We represent the sums $\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}{n \choose k}^{-2}$, $\sum_{k=0}^m{m\choose k}^{-1}{a\choose n-k}^{-1}$, $\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\frac{q^{-k(k-1)}}{{\genfrac{[}{]}{0pt}{}{n}{k}}_q}$, and the sum of the reciprocals of the summands in Dixon's…
In 1997 the author found a criterion for the Riemann hypothesis for the Riemann zeta function, involving the nonnegativity of certain coefficients associated with the Riemann zeta function. In 1999 Bombieri and Lagarias obtained an…
In this work we show that the Riemann hypothesis for the Dedekind zeta--function $\zeta_{\mathrm{K}}(s)$ of an algebraic number field $\mathrm{K}$ is equivalent to a problem of the rate of convergence of certain discrete measures defined…
The classical Dedekind sums $s(d, c)$ can be represented as sums over the partial quotients of the continued fraction expansion of the rational $\frac{d}{c}$. Hardy sums, the analog integer-valued sums arising in the transformation of the…
Given $\mathbf{F}$ a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_{\mathbf{F}}$ and $\mathfrak{p},\mathfrak{q}$ two squarefree and coprime ideals of $\mathcal{O}_{\mathbf{F}}$, we prove a reciprocity relation for the first moment of the…
Contour integral representations for Riemann's Zeta function and Dirichelet's Eta (alternating Zeta) function are presented and investigated. These representations flow naturally from methods developed in the 1800's, but somehow they do not…
In this paper we establish a new summation method by expanding $\prod_{k}(1-\frac{z}{a_{k}})^{-1}$ with two approaches: the Taylor expansion and the infinite partial fraction decomposition. Here we focus on the case when $a_{k}$ is…
The sum $S(h,k):=\sum_{j=1}^{k-1}(-1)^{j+1+[hj/k]}$ appears in the modular transformation formulae of the classical theta function $\vartheta_3(z)$. The double sum $S(k) := \sum_{h=1}^{k-1}S(h,k)$ has a remarkable distribution of values.…
This paper establishes new bridges between number theory and modern harmonic analysis, namely between the class of complex functions, which contains zeta functions of arithmetic schemes and closed with respect to product and quotient, and…
We prove nonlinear relation on multiple Hurwitz-Riemann zeta functions. Using analytic continuation of these multiple Hurwitz-Riemann zeta function, we quote at negative integers Euler's nonlinear relation for generalized Bernoulli…
Assume the Riemann Hypothesis and a hypothesis on small gaps between zeta zeros, we prove a conjecture of Bailey, Bettin, Blower, Conrey, Prokhorov, Rubinstein and Snaith, which states that for any positive integer $K$ and real number…
We introduce and study the \emph{Rademacher-Carlitz polynomial} \[ \RC(u, v, s, t, a, b) := \sum_{k = \lceil s \rceil}^{\lceil s \rceil + b - 1} u^{\fl{\frac{ka + t}{b}}} v^k \] where $a, b \in \Z_{>0}$, $s, t \in \R$, and $u$ and $v$ are…
We show that integrals involving log-tangent function, with respect to certain square-integrable functions on $(0, \pi/2)$, can be evaluated by some series involving the harmonic number. Then we use this result to establish many closed…
Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we obtain a formula for the mean value of the $k$-derivative of $\zeta'/\zeta$, depending on the pair correlation of zeros of the Riemann zeta-function. This formula allows us to obtain new equivalences to…
In this note we associate a sequence of non-negative integers to any convergent series of positive real numbers and study this sequence for the series $\sum_{n \geq 1} n^{-k}$ where $k$ is an integer $\geq 2$.
We introduce an explicit formula for a reciprocal sum related to the Riemann zeta function at s=6, and pose one question related to a computational formula for larger values of s.
