Discrete state spaces represent a major computational challenge to statistical inference, since the computation of normalisation constants requires summation over large or possibly infinite sets, which can be impractical. This paper…

For a fixed $z\in\mathbb{C}$ and a fixed $k\in\mathbb{N}$, let $\sigma_{z}^{(k)}(n)$ denote the sum of $z$-th powers of those divisors $d$ of $n$ whose $k$-th powers also divide $n$. This arithmetic function is a simultaneous generalization…

We study Diophantine arithmetic properties of birational divisors in conjunction with concepts that surround $\mathrm{K}$-stability for Fano varieties. There is also an interpretation in terms of the barycentres of Newton-Okounkov bodies.…

In this paper, we investigate a weighted divisor problem involving the exponential sum of $D_{(1)}(n)$, the $n$th coefficient in the Dirichlet series expansion of $\zeta'(s)^2$. We establish a truncated Vorono\"{i} type formula for the…

For a fixed $b\in \mathbb{N}=\{1,2,3,\dots\}$, Goins et al. \cite{Harris} defined the concept of $b$-visibility for a lattice point $(r,s)$ in $L=\mathbb{N}\times \mathbb{N}$ which states that $(r,s)$ is $b$-visible from the origin if it…

Let $X$ be a normal projective variety defined over an algebraically closed field and let $Z$ be a subvariety. Let $D$ be an $\mathbb R$-Cartier $\mathbb R$-divisor on $X$. Given an expression $(\ast) \ D \sim_{\mathbb R} t_1 H_1 + \ldots +…

The aim of this article is to present in a self-contained way identities arising in elementary number theory, among which the following one: $$ \sum_{d\mid n}\frac{\mu^2(d)}{\varphi(d)\,d^s}=\prod_{p\mid n}\left(1+\frac{1}{(p-1)p^s}\right).…

The integer $d=\prod_{i=1}^s p_i^{b_i}$ is called an exponential divisor of $n=\prod_{i=1}^s p_i^{a_i}>1$ if $b_i \mid a_i$ for every $i\in \{1,2,...,s\}$. Let $\tau^{(e)}(n)$ denote the number of exponential divisors of $n$, where…

Let \sigma(n) = \sum_{d \mid n}d be the usual sum-of-divisors function. In 1933, Davenport showed that that n/\sigma(n) possesses a continuous distribution function. In other words, the limit D(u):= \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{1}{x}\sum_{n \leq…

We consider the effective resummation of a Borel sum by its associated factorial series expansion. Our approach provides concrete estimates for the remainder term when truncating this factorial series. We then generalize a theorem of…

We introduce a new numerical method, based on Bernoulli polynomials, for solving multiterm variable-order fractional differential equations. The variable-order fractional derivative was considered in the Caputo sense, while the…

Let $\sigma_a^{(N)}(n)=\sum_{d^{N}|n}d^a$. An explicit transformation is obtained for the generalized Lambert series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\sigma_{a}^{(N)}(n)e^{-ny}$ for Re$(a)>-1$ using the recently established Vorono\"i summation formula…

The instrumental variable (IV) approach is commonly used to infer causal effects in the presence of unmeasured confounding. Existing methods typically aim to estimate the mean causal effects, whereas a few other methods focus on quantile…

We study the deterministic recursion $n_{j+1} = n_j - \tau(n_j)$, where $\tau(n)$ denotes the divisor function, and the associated orbit length $a(x)$. Heuristics based on the average order of $\tau(n)$ suggest that $a(x) \asymp x / \log…

A generalized fractional derivative (GFD) definition is proposed in this work. For a differentiable function that can be expanded by Taylor series, we show that D^Elafa*D^Beta f(t)=D^(Elafa+Beta)f(t). GFD is applied for some functions in…
