In this paper we obtain a new curious identity involving trigonometric functions. Namely, for any positive odd integer $n$ we prove that $$\sum_{k=1}^n(-1)^k(\cot kx)\sin k(n-k)x=\frac{1-n}2,$$ which is equivalent to the identity…

Cusick's conjecture on the binary sum of digits $s(n)$ of a nonnegative integer $n$ states the following: for all nonnegative integers $t$ we have \[ c_t=\lim_{N\rightarrow\infty}\frac 1N\left\lvert\{n<N:s(n+t)\geq s(n)\}\right\rvert>1/2.…

We prove the identity \[ 2W_1(x) + \log 4 + \psi\left(\tfrac{1}{2} + x\right) + \psi\left(\tfrac{3}{2} - x\right) = 0, \] where $\psi$ is the digamma function and \[ W_1(x) = 2\int_0^\infty \Re\left( \frac{y}{(y^2+1)(e^{\pi(y+2ix)} - 1)}…

In 2022, Z.-W. Sun defined \begin{equation*} w_k^{(\alpha)}{(x)}=\sum_{j=1}^{k}w(k,j)^{\alpha}x^{j-1}, \end{equation*} where $k,\alpha$ are positive integers and $w(k,j)=\frac{1}{j}\binom{k-1}{j-1}\binom{k+j}{j-1}$. Let $(x)_{0}=1$ and…

We consider the following conjecture (from Huang, et al): Let $\Delta^+$ denote the upper half disc in $\mathbb{C}$ and let $\gamma = ( - 1, 1)$ (viewed as an interval in the real axis in $\mathbb{C}$). Assume that $F$ is a holomorphic…

In this paper, we study the holomorphic function defined by the infinite product $\Gamma_{a,r}(s) =\prod_{n \geq 0} (1 + \frac{1}{a+ nr})^s (1 + \frac{s}{a+nr})^{-1}$ which generalize Euler's definition in the sense that $\Gamma(s) =…
