In this paper, we study some existence and uniqueness results for systems of differential equations in which each of equations of the system involves a different Stieltjes derivative. Specifically, we show that this problems can only have…
In this paper, we establish the irrationality of some open problems in mathematics based on using a recursive formula that generate the complete sequence of numbers. see [1] But before getting into that we begin with some Ramanujan notable…
We consider the random continued fraction S(t) := 1/(s_1 + t/(s_2 + t/(s_3 + >...))) where the s_n are independent random variables with the same gamma distribution. For every realisation of the sequence, S(t) defines a Stieltjes function.…
We investigate conditions in order to decide whether a given sequence of real numbers represents expected record values arising from an independent, identically distributed, sequence of random variables. The main result provides a necessary…
In 'The Lost Notebook and Other Unpublished Papers' of Ramanujan are present some manuscripts of Ramanujan in the handwriting of G. N. Watson which are 'copied from loose papers'. We present a proof of a beautiful formula of Ramanujan in…
Using the notion of the truncated variation we obtain a new theorem on the existence and estimation of the Riemann-Stieltjes integral. As a special case of this theorem we obtain an improved version of the Lo\'{e}ve-Young inequality for the…
We revisit several entries from Ramanujan's notebooks which follow from more elementary arguments than a first glance may suggest. Our goal is to demystify these results through more accessible proofs, while also shining some light on the…
Due to its convolution nature, the Stieltjes integral equation can be diagonalized by Mellin transform. Several explicit resolvent kernels were obtained over the years, all of convolution type. The conditions on the given function under…
The Stieltjes constants are the expansion coefficients in the Laurent series for the Hurwitz zeta function about s=1. We present new asymptotic, summatory, and other exact expressions for these and related constants.
This paper has two parts. The first part surveys Euler's work on the constant gamma=0.57721... bearing his name, together with some of his related work on the gamma function, values of the zeta function and divergent series. The second part…
We study the properties of a general continued fraction of Ramanujan. In some certain cases we evaluate it completely.
In 1914 S. Ramanujan recorded a list of 17 series for $1/\pi$. We survey the methods of proofs of Ramanujan's formulae and indicate recently discovered generalizations, some of which are not yet proven.
This essay explores the meaning of stochastic differential equations and stochastic integrals. It sets these subjects in a context of Riemann-Stieltjes integration. It is intended as a comment or supplement to \cite{MTRV}.
In this note, we recall Kummer's Fourier series expansion of the 1-periodic function that coincides with the logarithm of the Gamma function on the unit interval $(0,1)$, and we use it to find closed forms for some numerical series related…
In this series of seven papers, predominantly by means of elementary analysis, we establish a number of identities related to the Riemann zeta function. Whilst this paper is mainly expository, some of the formulae reported in it are…
Recently, Simon Plouffe has discovered a number of identities for the Riemann zeta function at odd integer values. These identities are obtained numerically and are inspired by a prototypical series for Apery's constant given by Ramanujan:…
The resummation of superfactorially divergent series represents a significant computational challenge in mathematical physics. In the present paper the resummation of a specific class of Stieltjes series characterized by a moment sequence…
This paper investigates Srinivasa Ramanujan's initial intuitive methodology for assigning the finite value -1/12 to the sum of the divergent infinite series of all positive integers. We systematically examine Ramanujan's initial method,…
The Stieltjes moment problem is studied in a new framework within the general Gelfand-Shilov spaces defined via weight sequences. The novelty consists of allowing for a naturally larger target space for the moment mapping, which sends a…
We deduce $q$-continued fractions $S_{1}(q)$, $S_{2}(q)$ and $S_{3}(q)$ of order fourteen, and continued fractions $V_{1}(q)$, $V_{2}(q)$ and $V_{3}(q)$ of order twenty-eight from a general continued fraction identity of Ramanujan. We…
