In his lost notebook, Ramanujan recorded beautiful identities. These include earlier versions of Koshliakov's formula for the divisor function and the transformation formula for the logarithm of Dedekind's $\eta-$function. In this paper we…
This is a short survey of a class of functions introduces by Tom Apostol. The survey is focused on their relation to Eulerian polynomials, derivative polynomials, and also on some integral representations.
The Fibonacci numbers are familiar to all of us. They appear unexpectedly often in mathematics, so much there is an entire journal and a sequence of conferences dedicated to their study. However, there is also another sequence of numbers…
A method for obtaining discretization formulas for the derivatives of a function is presented, which relies on a generalization of divided differences. These modified divided differences essentially correspond to a change of the dependent…
In this short note, we derive an upper-bound for the sum of two comparison functions, namely for the sum of a class K and an extended class K function. To the best of our knowledge, the relations derived in this note have not been…
Let $(F_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be the Fibonacci sequence given by $F_0 = 0, F_1 = 1$ and $F_{n+2} = F_{n+1}+F_n$ for $n \geq 0$. In this paper, we solve all powers of two which are sums of four Fibonacci numbers with a few exceptions that we…
In the first part we establish a connection between the Euler-Maclaurin summation formula and the Rota-Baxter functional equation. In the second part we give a simple proof of a formula, due to Ramanujan, on the summation of certain…
In this paper, given a certain regularity of a function $v$, we derive an explicit formula relating the order $\nu_0\in(0,1)$ of the leading fractional derivative in a fractional differential operator $\mathbf{D_t}$ with the variable…
This purely recreational paper is about one of the most colorful characters of the Italian Renaissance, Girolamo Cardano, and the discovery of two basic ingredients of quantum theory, probability and complex numbers. The paper is dedicated…
The author (Bull. Math. Anal. App. 6(4)(2014):1-15), introduced a new fractional derivative, \[{}^\rho \mathcal{D}_a^\alpha f (x) = \frac{\rho^{\alpha-n+1}}{\Gamma({n-\alpha})} \, \bigg(x^{1-\rho} \,\frac{d}{dx}\bigg)^n \int^x_a…
We prove duality between the left and right fractional derivatives, independently on the type of fractional operator. Main result asserts that the right derivative of a function is the dual of the left derivative of the dual function or,…
Boggio's formula in balls is known for integer-polyharmonic Dirichlet problems and for fractional Dirichlet problems with fractional parameter less than 1. We give here a consistent formulation for fractional polyharmonic Dirichlet problems…
Motivated by the general problem of extending the classical theory of holomorphic functions of a complex variable to the case of quater- nion functions, we give a notion of an H-derivative for functions of one quaternion variable. We show…
Multiplication and exponentiation can be defined by equations in which one of the operands is written as the sum of powers of two. When these powers are non-negative integers, the operand is integer; without this restriction it is a…
There are many possible definitions of derivatives, here we present some and present one that we have called generalized that allows us to put some of the others as a particular case of this but, what interests us is to determine that there…
We study a functional equation first proposed by T. Popoviciu in 1955. In the one-dimensional case, it was solved for the easiest case by Ionescu in 1956 and, for the general case, by Ghiorcoiasiu and Roscau and Rad\'{o} in 1962. We present…
Frobenius observed that the number of times an element of a finite group is obtained as a commutator is given by a specific combination of the irreducible characters of the group. More generally, for any word w the number of times an…
The purpose of this note is to present a formulation of a given nonlinear ordinary differential equation into an equivalent system of linear ordinary differential equations. It is evident that the easiness of a such procedure would be able…
M. E. Cesaro (1885) gave a quite remarkable expression for the Bell number --the number of partitions of an n-element set -- as a definite integral. This note is an exposition, correcting a typographical error in the original.
For $k\geq 2$, the $k$-generalized Fibonacci sequence $(F_n^{(k)})_{n}$ is defined by the initial values $0,0,\ldots,0,1$ ($k$ terms) and such that each term afterwards is the sum of the $k$ preceding terms. In this paper, we search for…
