A Lambert series generating function is a special series summed over an arithmetic function $f$ defined by \[ L_f(q) := \sum_{n \geq 1} \frac{f(n) q^n}{1-q^n} = \sum_{m \geq 1} (f \ast 1)(m) q^m. \] Because of the way the left-hand-side…

The class of Lambert series generating functions (LGFs) denoted by $L_{\alpha}(q)$ formally enumerate the generalized sum-of-divisors functions, $\sigma_{\alpha}(n) = \sum_{d|n} d^{\alpha}$, for all integers $n \geq 1$ and fixed real-valued…

We prove new exact formulas for the generalized sum-of-divisors functions, $\sigma_{\alpha}(x) := \sum_{d|x} d^{\alpha}$. The formulas for $\sigma_{\alpha}(x)$ when $\alpha \in \mathbb{C}$ is fixed and $x \geq 1$ involves a finite sum over…

We consider series of the form $$ \frac{p}{q} +\sum_{j=2}^\infty \frac{1}{x_j}, $$ where $x_1=q$ and the integer sequence $(x_n)$ satisfies a certain non-autonomous recurrence of second order, which entails that $x_n|x_{n+1}$ for $n\geq 1$.…
