In 1986, some examples of algebraic, and nonquadratic, power series over a finite prime field, having a continued fraction expansion with partial quotients all of degree one, were discovered by W. Mills and D. Robbins. In this note we show…

The degenerate exponentials play an important role in recent study on degenerate versions of many special numbers and polynomials, the degenerate gamma function, the degenerate umbral calculus and the degenerate q-umbral calculus. The aim…

Infinite order differential operators appear in different fields of Mathematics and Physics and in the last decades they turned out to be of fundamental importance in the study of the evolution of superoscillations as initial datum for…

Zagier observed that modular Nahm sums associated with the same matrix may form a vector-valued modular function on some congruence subgroup. We establish modular transformation formulas for several families of Nahm sums by viewing them as…

In recent years, the generalized sum-of-divisor functions of MacMahon have been unified into the algebraic framework of $q$-multiple zeta values. In particular, these results link partition theory, quasimodular forms, $q$-multiple zeta…

We study the representation theory of the infinite type A Hecke algebra over a non-archimedean field in the case where the parameter is a pseudo-uniformizer. Specifically, we consider a family of representations, called almost-symmetric,…

In a recent work, Gun and co-workers have proposed that $\,\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}{(n+\alpha)^{-k}}\,$ is a transcendental number for all integer $\,k$, $k > 1$, and $\,\alpha \in \mathbb{Q} \backslash \mathbb{Z}$. Here in this work, this…

We consider summations over digamma and polygamma functions, often with summands of the form (\pm 1)^n\psi(n+p/q)/n^r and (\pm 1)^n\psi^{(m)} (n+p/q)/n^r, where m, p, q, and r are positive integers. We develop novel general integral…

In this paper we employ the Circle Method to give exact formulae for Fourier coefficients of an infinite family of weight zero mixed false modular forms using and extending the techniques of Bringmann and Nazaroglu as well as Rademacher. To…

Dirichlet's $L$-functions are natural extensions of the Riemann zeta function. In this paper we first give a brief survey of Ap\'ery-like series for some special values of the zeta function and certain $L$-functions. Then, we establish two…

We present results for some infinite series appearing in Feynman diagram calculations, many of which are similar to the Euler series. These include both one-dimensional and two-dimensional series. Most of these series can be expressed in…

We introduce a natural definition for sums of the form \[ \sum_{\nu=1}^x f(\nu) \] when the number of terms x is a rather arbitrary real or even complex number. The resulting theory includes the known interpolation of the factorial by the…

We survey the theory of vector-valued modular forms and their connections with modular differential equations and Fuchsian equations over the three-punctured sphere. We present a number of numerical examples showing how the theory in…

An extension of two finite trigonometric series is studied to derive closed form formulae involving the Hurwitz-Lerch zeta function. The trigonometric series involves angles with a geometric series involving the powers of 3. These closed…
