Divisor functions have attracted the attention of number theorists from Dirichlet to the present day. Here we consider associated divisor functions $c_j^{(r)}(n)$ which for non-negative integers $j, r$ count the number of ways of…
The sequence A268289 from the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, namely the cumulated differences between the number of digits 1 and the number of digits 0 in the binary expansion of consecutive integers, is studied here. This…
This paper is devoted to the proof Gauss' divergence theorem in the framework of "ultrafunctions". They are a new kind of generalized functions, which have been introduced recently [2] and developed in [4], [5] and [6]. Their peculiarity is…
The paper considers estimates for some sums and products of functions of prime numbers. Several assertions on this topic have been proven. We also study extremal estimates for strongly additive and strongly multiplicative arithmetic…
We consider the variance of sums of arithmetic functions over random short intervals in the function field setting. Based on the analogy between factorizations of random elements of $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ into primes and the factorizations of…
Recently, many researchers devoted their attention to study the extensions of the gamma and beta functions. In the present work, we focus on investigating some approximations for a class of Gauss hypergeometric functions by exploiting…
We define a parametric variant of generalized Euler sums and construct contour integration to give some explicit evaluations of these parametric Euler sums. In particular, we establish several explicit formulas of (Hurwitz) zeta functions,…

We study the generalized continued fraction expansions of complex numbers in term of elements from Euclidean subrings, especially Gaussian or Eisenstein integers, in a general framework as pursued in [3] and [1]. We introduce a common…
Polynomial functions $f : \mathbb{N}_+ \longrightarrow \mathbb{N}_+$ are studied for which sums of arbitrary length $f (1) + f (2) + f (3) + >... + f (n)$, with $n \in \mathbb{N}_+$, can be expressed by polynomial functions $g :…
In this note we review the theory of Gaussian functions by exploiting a point of view based on symbolic methods of umbral nature. We introduce quasi-Gaussian functions, which are close to Gaussian distribution but have a longer tail. Their…
In a recent paper the authors studied the denominators of polynomials that represent power sums by Bernoulli's formula. Here we extend our results to power sums of arithmetic progressions. In particular, we obtain a simple explicit…
We evaluate in closed form several classes of finite trigonometric sums. Two general methods are used. The first is new and involves sums of roots of unity. The second uses contour integration and extends a previous method used by two of…
This paper extends earlier work on the distribution in the complex plane of the roots of random polynomials. In this paper, the random polynomials are generalized to random finite sums of given "basis" functions. The basis functions are…
We study sums of the shape $\sum_{n \leqslant x} f \left( \lfloor x/n \rfloor \right)$ where $f$ is either the von Mangoldt function or the Dirichlet-Piltz divisor functions. We improve previous estimates when $f = \Lambda$ and $f = \tau$,…
A number of new terminating series involving $\sin(n^2/k)$ and $\cos(n^2/k)$ are presented and connected to Gauss quadratic sums. Several new closed forms of generic Gauss quadratic sums are obtained and previously known results are…
An elementary approach is shown which derives the values of the Gauss sums over $\mathbb F_{p^r}$, $p$ odd, of a cubic character without using Davenport-Hasse's theorem. New links between Gauss sums over different field extensions are shown…
This is a conspectus of definite integrals, products and series. These formulae involve special functions in the integrand and summand functions and closed form solutions. Some of the special cases are stated in terms of fundamental…
The authors survey recent results in special functions, particularly the gamma function and the Gaussian hypergeometric function.
We give a number of theoretical and practical methods related to the computation of L-functions, both in the local case (counting points on varieties over finite fields, involving in particular a detailed study of Gauss and Jacobi sums),…
