In this note we study the growth of \sum_{m=1}^M\frac1{\|m\alpha\|} as a function of M for different classes of \alpha\in[0,1). Hardy and Littlewood showed that for numbers of bounded type, the sum is \simeq M\log M. We give a very simple…

We consider the following Toda system \Delta u_i + \D \sum_{j = 1}^n a_{ij}e^{u_j} = 4\pi\gamma_{i}\delta_{0} \text{in}\mathbb R^2, \int_{\mathbb R^2}e^{u_i} dx < \infty, \forall 1\leq i \leq n, where $\gamma_{i} > -1$, $\delta_0$ is Dirac…

The function $\gamma(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$ plays an important role in mathematical physics, e.g. as factor for relativistic time dilation in case of $x=\beta$ with $\beta=\frac{v}{c}$ or $\beta=\frac{pc}{E}$. Due to former…

Simple upper and lower bounds are obtained for the integral $\int_0^x\mathrm{e}^{-\gamma t}t^\nu I_\nu(t)\,\mathrm{d}t$, $x>0$, $\nu>-\frac{1}{2}$, $0<\gamma<1$. Most of our bounds for this integral are tight as $x\rightarrow\infty$. We…

It is proved that $$\left(\frac{x^n}{1-e^{-x}}\right)^{(n)}>0$$ for all $x\in (\log 2, \infty)$ and $n\in \mathbb{N}$, which improves the result of [Al-Musallam and Bustoz in Ramanujan J. 11 (2006) 399-402].

By applying the Newton-Gregory expansion to the polynomial associated with the sum of powers of integers $S_k(n) = 1^k + 2^k + \cdots + n^k$, we derive a couple of infinite families of explicit formulas for $S_k(n)$. One of the families…
