We investigate the sums $\sum_{n\le X, (n,q)=1}\frac{\mu(n)}{n^s}\log^k\left(\frac{X}{n}\right)$, where $k\in\{0,1\}$, $s\in\mathbb{C}$, $\Re s>0$. Our goal is to obtain explicit asymptotic estimations for these quantities. To achieve this,…

We introduce a natural definition for sums of the form \[ \sum_{\nu=1}^x f(\nu) \] when the number of terms x is a rather arbitrary real or even complex number. The resulting theory includes the known interpolation of the factorial by the…

We consider some closed-form evaluations of certain infinite sums involving the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta(s,\alpha)$ of the form \[\sum_{k=1}^\infty (\pm 1)^k k^m \zeta(s,k),\] where $m$ is a non-negative integer. For the sums with $m=0$…

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) =…

Let $f$ be an arithmetic function satisfying some simple conditions. The aim of this paper is to establish an asymptotical formula for the quantity \[ S_f(x):=\sum_{n\leq x}\frac{f([x/n])}{[x/n]} \] as $x\rightarrow\infty$, where $[t]$ is…

Let $f(n)$ be an arithmetic function with $f(n) \ll n^\alpha$ for some $\alpha\in[0,1)$ and let $\lfloor .\rfloor $ denote the integer part function. In this paper, we evaluate asymptotically the sums $$\sum_{n_{1}n_{2}\leq x}f \left(…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $f(x)=\sum_{i=1}^ka_ix^{p^{\alpha_i}+1}\in\Bbb F_{p^n}[x]$, where $0\le \alpha_1<...<\alpha_k$. We consider the exponential sum $S(f,n)=\sum_{x\in\Bbb F_{p^n}}e_n(f(x))$, where $e_n(y)=e^{2\pi…

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 say that a function $\alpha(x)$ belongs to the set ${\bf A}^{(\gamma)}$ if it has an asymptotic expansion of the form $\alpha(x)\sim \sum^\infty_{i=0}\alpha_ix^{\gamma-i}$ as $x\to\infty$, which can be differentiated term by term…

In this paper, we introduce a novel indefinite summation $\sum_{t} f(t)$ (or antidifference $\Delta ^{-1}f(t) $ ) formula for any given function $f$. We apply the indefinite summation formula to calculate a particular solution to a…

Many identities written by $P=S=C$ are obtained, where $P$ infinite products, $S$ infinite series, and $C$ continued fractions. Such equality is called {\it triplicity}, and it can be used to compute the values of infinite series. It is…

We introduce a general class $F_0$ of additive functions $f$ such that $f(p) = 1$ and prove a tight bound for exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n \le x} f(n) e(\alpha n)$ where $f \in F_0$ and $e(\theta) = \exp(2\pi i \theta)$. Both…
