We obtain asymptotic for the quantity $\int_0^1 \bigg|\sum_{n\le X}\tau_k(n)e(n\alpha)\bigg|d\alpha$ where $\tau_k(n) = \sum_{d_1\dots d_k = n} 1$. This follows from a quick application of the circle method. Along the way, we find minor arc…

This article derives full asymptotic expansions for integrals of the form \[ \int_{0}^{1}f(u)(1+q\cdot u^{n})^{w/n}du \] as $n\rightarrow\infty$, with parameters real $w\neq 0$ and $q\in(-1,1]$, or positive $w$ for $q=-1$. We relate the…

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…

We established and estimate the full asymptotic expansion in integer powers of 1 N of the [ $\sqrt$ N ] first marginals of N-body evolutions lying in a general paradigm containing Kac models and non-relativistic quantum evolution. We prove…

We discuss the asymptotic expansions of certain products of Bernoulli numbers and factorials, e.g., \[ \prod_{\nu=1}^n |B_{2\nu}| \quad \text{and} \quad \prod_{\nu=1}^n (k \nu)!^{\nu^r} \quad \text{as} \quad n \to \infty \] for integers $k…
