Dirichlet's $L$-functions are natural extensions of the Riemann zeta function. In this paper we first give a brief survey of Ap\'ery-like series for some special values of the zeta function and certain $L$-functions. Then, we establish two…
Let us consider a cyclic extension of a function field defined over a finite field. For a character (non-trivial) of this extension, we calculate, as a linear combinations of products of Jacobi sums, the coefficients of the polynomial given…
We study generating functions for multiple zeta star values in general form. These generating functions provide a connection between multiple zeta star values and multiple Euler sums, which allows us to express each multiple zeta star value…
Several combinatorial identities are presented, involving Stirling functions of the second kind with a complex variable. The identities involve also Stirling numbers of the first kind, binomial coefficients and harmonic numbers.
We prove a central limit theorem for the joint distribution of $s_q(A_jn)$, $1\le j \le d$, where $s_q$ denotes the sum-of-digits function in base~$q$ and the $A_j$'s are positive integers relatively prime to $q$. We do this in fact within…
We study three special Dirichlet series, two of them alternating, related to the Riemann zeta function. These series are shown to have extensions to the entire complex plane and we find their values at the negative integers (or residues at…
In this work we derive and evaluate some infinite integrals involving the product of a generalized logarithm and polynomial functions in the denominator. These integrals are expressed in terms of finite series involving the Hurwitz-Lerch…
Assuming a conjecture on distinct zeros of Dirichlet L-functions we get asymptotic results on the average number of representations of an integer as the sum of two primes in arithmetic progression. On the other hand the existence of good…
A new method for parallel generation of $q$-valued pseudorandom sequence based on the presentation of systems generating logical formulae by means of arithmetic polynomials is proposed. Fragment consisting of $k$-elements of $q$-valued…
This is a note for constructing fundamental invariants and computing the Hilbert series of the invariant subalgebras of tensor products of polynomial rings under the action by a direct product of symmetric groups. Our computation relies on…
We give two general transformations that allows certain quite general basic hypergeometric multi-sums of arbitrary depth (sums that involve an arbitrary sequence $\{g(k)\}$), to be reduced to an infinite $q$-product times a single basic…
We calculate some infinite sums containing the digamma function in closed-form. These sums are related either to the incomplete beta function or to the Bessel functions. The calculations yield interesting new results as by-products, such as…
We obtain first order linear partial differential equations which are satisfied by exponential generating functions of two variables for the number of connected bipartite graphs with given Betti number. By solving these equations…
Some examples of naturally arising multisum $q$-series which turn out to have representations as fermionic single sums are presented. The resulting identities are proved using transformation formulas from the theory of basic hypergeometric…
We define a multiple Dirichlet series associated with quadrics which is the zero locus of a quadratic form. This multiple Dirichlet series is linked to a Shintani zeta function associated with a prehomogeneous vector space. To obtain the…
We revisit several hybrid multiplicative-to-additive type functions from a recent preprint article. These functions, $g(n)$ with Dirichlet generating function (DGF) $\zeta(s)^{-1} (1+P(s))^{-1}$ for $\Re(s) > 1$ where $P(s) = \sum_p p^{-s}$…
We verify a recent conjecture of Kenyon/Szendroi, arXiv:0705.3419, by computing the generating function for pyramid partitions. Pyramid partitions are closely related to Aztec Diamonds; their generating function turns out to be the…
Consider an ordinary generating function $\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}c_kx^k$, of an integer sequence of some combinatorial relevance, and assume that it admits a closed form $C(x)$. Various instances are known where the corresponding truncated sum…
Power series are introduced that are simultaneously convergent for all real and p-adic numbers. Our expansions are in some aspects similar to those of exponential, trigonometric, and hyperbolic functions. Starting from these series and…
$q$-analogs of sum equals integral relations $\sum_{n\in\mathbb{Z}}f(n)=\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x)dx$ for sinc functions and binomial coefficients are studied. Such analogs are already known in the context of $q$-hypergeometric series. This…
