Analytical expressions are derived for the position of irreducible fractions in the Farey sequence $F_N$ of order $N$ for a particular choice of $N$. The asymptotic behaviour is derived obtaining a lower error bound than in previous results…
Recently there has been a renewed interest in asymptotic Euler-MacLaurin formulas, partly due to applications to spectral theory of differential operators. Using elementary means, we recover such formulas for compactly supported smooth…
This paper explores closed-form expressions for some polylogarithm integrals with integrands containing five parameters. These closed form expressions are given in terms of the Lerch transcendent function, which reduces, in some cases, to…
Recently, E. Samsonadze (arXiv:2411.11859v1) has given an explicit formula for the sums of powers of integers $S_k(n) = 1^k +2^k +\cdots + n^k$. In this short note, we show that Samsonadze's formula corresponds to a well-known formula for…
Let $\mathsf{TH}_k$ denote the $k$-out-of-$n$ threshold function: given $n$ input Boolean variables, the output is $1$ if and only if at least $k$ of the inputs are $1$. We consider the problem of computing the $\mathsf{TH}_k$ function…
This paper has two parts. The first part surveys Euler's work on the constant gamma=0.57721... bearing his name, together with some of his related work on the gamma function, values of the zeta function and divergent series. The second part…
We prove that Boolean functions on $S_n$, whose Fourier transform is highly concentrated on irreducible representations indexed by partitions of $n$ whose largest part has size at least $n-t$, are close to being unions of cosets of…
To date, the best methods for estimating the growth of mean values of arithmetic functions rely on the Vorono\"{\i} summation formula. By noticing a general pattern in the proof of his summation formula, Vorono\"{\i} postulated that…
Theorem 1 Let F:N-->R stand for any function which a) $F$ monotonically weakly increases; b) $F$ tends to infinity; and c) such that $q/F(q)$ tends to infinity. Let Z_F(q) equal the number of divisors of q less than sqrt{F(q)} minus the…
In this paper we introduce and study a family $\Phi_k$ of arithmetic functions generalizing Euler's totient function. These functions are given by the number of solutions to the equation $\gcd(x_1^2+\ldots +x_k^2, n)=1$ with $x_1,\ldots,x_k…
Let $q\ge3$ be an integer, $\chi$ denote a Dirichlet character modulo $q$, for any real number $a\ge 0$, we define the generalized Dirichlet $L$-functions $$ L(s,\chi,a)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\chi(n)}{(n+a)^s}, $$ where $s=\sigma+it$…
We provide a uniform bound on the partial sums of multiplicative functions under very general hypotheses. As an application, we give a nearly optimal estimate for the count of $n \le x$ for which the Alladi-Erd\H{o}s function $A(n) =…
In this note, we derive the closed-form expression for the summation of series $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}nJ_n(x)\partial J_n/\partial n$, which is found in the calculation of entanglement entropy in 2-d bosonic free field, in terms of $Y_0$,…
Entropy-type integral functionals of densities are widely used in mathematical statistics, information theory, and computer science. Examples include measures of closeness between distributions (e.g., density power divergence) and…
This paper is a study of power series, where the coefficients are binomial expressions (iterated finite differences). Our results can be used for series summation, for series transformation, or for asymptotic expansions involving Stirling…
Euler totient function $\phi(n)$ plays a central role in number theory and is applied in areas such as cryptography. In this paper, we study iterations of the totient function. We first prove that for any integer $n>2$, iteratively applying…
A local lattice point counting formula, and more generally a local Euler-Maclaurin formula follow by comparing two natural families of meromorphic functions on the dual of a rational vector space $V$, namely the family of exponential sums…
I present and analyze a quadratically convergent algorithm for computing the infinite product \prod_{n=1}^\infty (1 - tx^n) for arbitrary complex t and x satisfying |x| < 1, based on the identity \prod_{n=1}^\infty (1 - tx^n) =…
In this paper, we prove that the Fourier entropy of an $n$-dimensional boolean function $f$ can be upper-bounded by $O(I(f)+ \sum\limits_{k\in[n]}I_k(f)\log \frac{1}{I_k(f)})$, where $I(f)$ is its total influence and $I_k(f)$ is the…
We provide new upper bounds for sums of certain arithmetic functions in many variables at polynomial arguments and, exploiting recent progress on the mean-value of the Erd\H os-Hooley $\Delta$-function, we derive lower bounds for the…
