In 2022, Z.-W. Sun defined \begin{equation*} w_k^{(\alpha)}{(x)}=\sum_{j=1}^{k}w(k,j)^{\alpha}x^{j-1}, \end{equation*} where $k,\alpha$ are positive integers and $w(k,j)=\frac{1}{j}\binom{k-1}{j-1}\binom{k+j}{j-1}$. Let $(x)_{0}=1$ and…

We give a new method for the evaluation of a class of integrals of rational symmetric functions in N pairs of variables {x_a, y_a}_{a=1,... N} arising in coupled matrix models, valid for a broad class of two-variable measures. The result is…

We show that the binomial and related multiplicative character sums $$ \sum_{\stackrel{x=1}{(x,p)=1}}^{p^m} \chi (x^l(Ax^k +B)^w),\hspace{3ex} \sum_{x=1}^{p^m} \chi_1 (x)\chi_2(Ax^k +B), $$ have a simple evaluation for large enough $m$ (for…

Let $m$ be a positive integer and $b_{m}(n)$ be the number of partitions of $n$ with parts being powers of 2, where each part can take $m$ colors. We show that if $m=2^{k}-1$, then there exists the natural density of integers $n$ such that…

Counting functions are constructed for sums of integers raised to a fixed positive rational power. That is, given values formed by $u_1^{j/k} + u_2^{j/k} + ... + u_l^{j/k}$, $u_i \in \mathbb{Z}^+$, the number of values less than or equal to…

Binomial coefficients have been used for centuries in a variety of fields and have accumulated numerous definitions. In this paper, we introduce a new way of defining binomial coefficients as repeated sums of ones. A multitude of binomial…

We will show in this text that, for all non-negative integers $n$ and $l$, the following equality is verified: \[\sum_{i=0}^{l} {n-i \choose i}{l+i \choose 2i+1}=\sum_{i=0}^{l} {n-i \choose i-1}{l+i \choose 2i}.\] We will first address the…

Let $I\subset A$ and $J\subset B$ be two monomial ideals, where $A$ and $B$ are two polynomial rings with disjoint variables. Considering a general set-up of monomial filtrations, we study the behaviour of the $\mathrm{v}$-function under…

We provide an explicit formula for the Tornheim double series in terms of integrals involving the Hurwitz zeta function. We also study the limit when the parameters of the Tornheim sum become natural numbers, and show that in that case it…

We study coefficients $b_n$ that are expressible as sums over the Li/Keiper constants $\lambda_j$. We present a number of relations for and representations of $b_n$. These include the expression of $b_n$ as a sum over nontrivial zeros of…

We present various identities involving the classical Bernoulli and Euler polynomials. Among others, we prove that $$ \sum_{k=0}^{[n/4]}(-1)^k {n\choose 4k}\frac{B_{n-4k}(z) }{2^{6k}} =\frac{1}{2^{n+1}}\sum_{k=0}^{n} (-1)^k…

Recent work by Pain [1] proposed a systematic approach to evaluating binomial sums involving reciprocals of binomial coefficients via Beta integrals. In particular, a parametric extension (Proposition 6.1) was introduced and claimed to…

We obtain several estimates for bilinear form with exponential sums with binomials $mx^k + nx^\ell$. In particular we show the existence of nontrivial cancellations between such sums when the coefficients $m$ and $n$ vary over rather sparse…

In this note we prove that \[ j!\,2^N \, \binom{N+j-1}{j} \, {}_2F_1\left(\begin{matrix}-j,-2j \\ -N-j+1 \end{matrix};-1\right) = \sum_{l=0}^N \binom{N}{l}\prod_{i=0}^{j-1}2(2i+1+l), \] where $ N $ and $ j $ are positive integers, which…

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.…

Using the theory of Stienstra and Beukers, we prove various elementary congruences for the numbers \sum \binom{2i_1}{i_1}^2\binom{2i_2}{i_2}^2...\binom{2i_k}{i_k}^2, where k,n \in N, and the summation is over the integers i_1, i_2, ...i_k…

We study the decomposition of multivariate polynomials as sums of powers of linear forms. As one of our main results we give an algorithm for the following problem: given a homogeneous polynomial of degree 3, decide whether it can be…

We extend a result by Ikeda and Suriajaya (2025) to find the asymptotic behaviour of the average number of representations of an integer $n$, over multiples of a fixed $q\ge 2$, as a sum of two prime $k$-th powers, for $k\ge 2$.

This paper is concerned with finite sequences of integers that may be written as sums of squares of two nonzero integers. We first find infinitely many integers $n$ such that $n, n+h$ and $n+k$ are all sums of two squares where $h$ and $k$…
