We prove an inversion theorem for the Fourier transform defined for normal functions, in the case when such functions are of moderate decrease, and in dimensions 2 and 3. This improves on Carleson's general almost everywhere convergence…

Functions satisfying the functional equation \begin{align*} \sum_{r=0}^{n-1} (-1)^r f(x+ry, ny) = f(x,y), \quad \text{for any positive odd integer $n$}, \end{align*} are named the alternating invariant functions. Examples of such functions…

In this paper, we introduce and develop the notion of spanning of integers along functions $f:\mathbb{N}\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$. We apply this method to a class of problems that requires to determine if the equations of the form…

In this paper, we generalize the partial fraction decomposition which is fundamental in the theory of multiple zeta values, and prove a relation between Tornheim's double zeta functions of three complex variables. As applications, we give…

The main aim of the paper is to present a general version of the Fourier Tauberian theorem for monotone functions. This result, together with Berezin's inequality, allows us to obtain a refined version the Li-Yau estimate for the counting…

In this article, we investigate sparse subsets of the natural numbers and study the sparseness of some sets associated with the Euler's totient function $\phi$ via the property of `Banach Density'. These sets related to the totient function…

In this paper we study a group theoretical generalization of the well-known Gauss's formula that uses the generalized Euler's totient function introduced in [11].

The issue of the existence and possible triviality of the Euclidean quantum scalar field in dimension 4 is investigated by using some large deviations techniques. As usual, the field $\varphi_{d}^{4}$ is obtained as a limit of regularized…

By a suitable shifting-the-mean parametrization at the Dirichlet series level and Delange's Tauberian theorems, we show that the number of factors in random ordered factorizations of integers is asymptotically normally distributed.

In this paper, we introduce a way to generalize the Euler's gamma function as well as some related special functions. With a given polynomial in one variable $f(t)\ge 0$, we can associate a function, so-called "gamma function associated…

We investigate two arithmetic functions naturally occurring in the study of the Euler and Carmichael quotients. The functions are related to the frequency of vanishing of the Euler and Carmichael quotients. We obtain several results…

Given a Gaussian analytic function $f_L$ of intesity $L$ in the unit ball of $\mathbb C^n$, $n\geq 2$, consider its (random) zero variety $Z(f_L)$. We study the variance of the $(n-1)$-dimensional volume of $Z(f_L)$ inside a…

We propose an alternative definition for a Tsallis entropy composition-inspired Fourier transform, which we call "$\tau_q$-Fourier transform". We comment about the underlying "covariance" on the set of algebraic fields that motivates its…

In 2001, M.Rekos described the analytic behavior for a function $f(z)$ connected with the Euler totient function for Im$z > 0$ (see (1.2)) imitating the previous research of [1] and [3]. In the present paper, for Im$z > 0$ we describe the…

Let ${\mathbb F}_q$ be the finite field of $q$ elements, where $q=p^r$ is a power of the prime $p$, and $\left(\beta_1, \beta_2, \dots, \beta_r \right)$ be an ordered basis of ${\mathbb F}_q$ over ${\mathbb F}_p$. For…

We study a general class of multiplicative functions by relating "short averages" to its "long average". More precisely, we estimate asymptotically the variance of such a class of functions in short intervals using Fourier analysis and…

Let $g \geq 2$. A real number is said to be g-normal if its base g expansion contains every finite sequence of digits with the expected limiting frequency. Let \phi denote Euler's totient function, let \sigma be the sum-of-divisors…

The generalized Euler number E_{n|k} counts the number of permutations of {1,2,...,n} which have a descent in position m if and only if m is divisible by k. The classical Euler numbers are the special case when k=2. In this paper, we study…

Let $M(x)$ denote the largest cardinality of a subset of $\{n \in \mathbf{N}: n \leq x\}$ on which the Euler totient function $\varphi(n)$ is non-decreasing. We show that $M(x) = (1+O(\frac{(\log\log x)^5}{\log x})) \pi(x)$ for all $x \geq…
