Holomorphic functions are amazing because their values in an ever so small disk in the complex plane completely determine the function values at arbitrary points in their maximum possible domain. The process of extending such a function…

For a function of a type $ \left| \mathbf{r}_1{+}\ldots {+}\mathbf{r}_{_N} \right|^{-\nu} \in \mathbb{R} $ from the many-dimensional vectors $ \mathbf{r}_s $ in Euclidean space, the successive algebraic approach is the derivation of the…

The manuscript reviews Dirichlet Series of important multiplicative arithmetic functions. The aim is to represent these as products and ratios of Riemann zeta-functions, or, if that concise format is not found, to provide the leading…

A Master equation has been previously obtained which allows the analytic integration of a fairly large family of functions provided that they possess simple properties. Here, the properties of this Master equation are explored, by extending…

We derive a simple expression to analytically continue the prime zeta function to the domain $\Re(s)>\frac{1}{2}$ assuming (RH) and taking into account a proper branch cut. We also verify the formula numerically and provide several plots.

Taylor expansions of analytic functions are considered with respect to several points, allowing confluence of any of them. Cauchy-type formulas are given for coefficients and remainders in the expansions, and the regions of convergence are…

We evaluate friable averages of arithmetic functions whose Dirichlet series is analytically close to some complex power of the Riemann zeta function. We obtain asymptotic expansions resembling those provided by the Selberg-Delange method in…

Let $k$ be an integer greater than or equal $4$. We show that if a multiplicative function $f$ satisfies \[ f(x_1^2 + x_2^2 + \dots + x_k^2) = f(x_1)^2 + f(x_2)^2 + \dots + f(x_k)^2 \] for all positive integers $x_i$'s, then $f$ is the…

If a multiplicative function $f$ satisfies $f(a^2+b^2+c^2) = f(a)^2+f(b)^2+f(c)^2$ for all positive integers $a$, $b$, and $c$, then $f$ is an identity function.

Extended real-valued functions are often used in optimization theory, but in different ways for infimum problems and for supremum problems. We present an approach to extended real-valued functions that works for all types of problems and…

Given the asymptotic expansion for the logarithmic integral $\int_0^n \frac{dt}{\ln(t)}$, obtained from repeated integration by parts until the expansion terms reach a minimum; approaching zero. Which determines a cut-off for the number of…

We provide an asymptotic expansion for the mean-value of the logarithm of the middle prime factor of an integer, defined according to multiplicity or not, thus generalising a recent study of McNew, Pollack, and Singha Roy. This yields an…

We develop a theory of multiplicative functions (with values inside or on the unit circle) in arithmetic progressions analogous to the well-known theory of primes in arithmetic progressions.

This paper continues a series of investigations on converging representations for the Riemann Zeta function. We generalize some identities which involve Riemann's zeta function, and moreover we give new series and integrals for the zeta…

Let $D$ be an open disk of radius $\le 1$ in $\mathbb C$, and let $(\epsilon_n)$ be a sequence of $\pm 1$. We prove that for every analytic function $f: D \to \mathbb C$ without zeros in $D$, there exists a unique sequence $(\alpha_n)$ of…

Probabilistic independence can dramatically simplify the task of eliciting, representing, and computing with probabilities in large domains. A key technique in achieving these benefits is the idea of graphical modeling. We survey existing…

We provide several asymptotic expansions of the prime counting function $\pi(x)$ and related functions. We define an {\it asymptotic continued fraction expansion} of a complex-valued function of a real or complex variable to be a possibly…

Let $n_0$ be 1 or 3. If a multiplicative function $f$ satisfies $f(p+q-n_0) = f(p)+f(q)-f(n_0)$ for all primes $p$ and $q$, then $f$ is the identity function $f(n)=n$ or a constant function $f(n)=1$.

In partial function extension, we are given a partial function consisting of $n$ points from a domain and a function value at each point. Our objective is to determine if this partial function can be extended to a function defined on the…

In multiple criteria decision aiding, very often the alternatives are compared by means of a value function compatible with the preferences expressed by the Decision Maker. The problem is that, in general, there is a plurality of compatible…
