Given a function f with an absolutely convergent Fourier series, we define the norm of f as ||f||_A = the sum of absolute values of the Fourier coefficients of f. We study the behavior of ||f^n||_A as n goes to infinity, for f of the form…
We apply the Euler--Maclaurin formula to find the asymptotic expansion of the sums $\sum_{k=1}^n (\log k)^p / k^q$, ~$\sum k^q (\log k)^p$, ~$\sum (\log k)^p /(n-k)^q$, ~$\sum 1/k^q (\log k)^p $ in closed form to arbitrary order ($p,q…
Let $\al$ be an irrational and $\varphi: \N \rightarrow \R^+$ be a function decreasing to zero. For any $\al$ with a given Diophantine type, we show some sharp estimations for the Hausdorff dimension of the set [E_{\varphi}(\al):={y\in \R:…
Through an inversion approach, we suggest a possible estimation for the absolute value of Mertens function $\vert M(x) \vert$ that $ \left\vert M(x) \right\vert \sim \left[\frac{1}{\pi \sqrt{\varepsilon}(x+\varepsilon)}\right]\sqrt{x}$…
We study linear function approximation in a finite basis under finite-precision arithmetic. In a highly non-orthogonal basis, certain directions are only weakly represented, so that rounding errors can significantly distort the effectively…
A doubly infinite set of series expansion for $1/\pi$ are reported. They follow trivially from a formal expansion for the quotient of the values taken by the gamma function for two (complex) arguments differing by an integer plus one half,…
