This study presents explicit evaluations of the series \begin{equation*} \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{H_{k/n}^{(p)}}{k^q} \quad \text{and} \quad \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^k H_{k/2n}^{(p)}}{k^q}, \quad p,q,n \in \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 1},\; q \ne 1,…
We consider the problem of recovering (that is, interpolating) and identity testing of a "hidden" monic polynomial $f$, given an oracle access to $f(x)^e$ for $x\in{\mathbb F_q}$ (extension fields access is not permitted). The naive…
Recently we studied Pad\'e interpolation problems of $q$-grid, related to $q$-Painlev\'e equations of type $E_7^{(1)}$, $E_6^{(1)}$, $D_5^{(1)}$, $A_4^{(1)}$ and $(A_2+A_1)^{(1)}$. By solving those problems, we could derive evolution…
We obtain asymptotic formulas for the sums $\sum_{n_1,\ldots,n_k\le x} f((n_1,\ldots,n_k))$ and $ \sum_{n_1,\ldots,n_k\le x} f([n_1,\ldots,n_k])$ involving the gcd and lcm of the integers $n_1,\ldots,n_k$, where $f$ belongs to certain…
For $S$ a contractive analytic operator-valued function on the unit disk ${\mathbb D}$, de Branges and Rovnyak associate a Hilbert space of analytic functions ${\mathcal H}(S)$. A companion survey provides equivalent definitions and basic…
The harmonic numbers $H_n=\sum_{0<k\ls n}1/k\ (n=0,1,2,\ldots)$ play important roles in mathematics. With helps of some combinatorial identities, we establish the following two congruences:…
Hooley proved that if $f\in \Bbb Z [X]$ is irreducible of degree $\ge 2$, then the fractions $\{ r/n\}$, $0<r<n$ with $f(r)\equiv 0\pmod n$, are uniformly distributed in $(0,1)$. In this paper we study such problems for reducible…
The stability and approximation properties of transfer functions of generalized Bessel polynomials (GBP) are investigated. Sufficient conditions are established for the GBP to be Hurwitz. It is shown that the Pad\'e approximants of $e^{-s}$…
Direct links between generalized harmonic numbers, linear Euler sums and Tornheim double series are established in a more perspicuous manner than is found in existing literature. We show that every linear Euler sum can be decomposed into a…
Let $\Lambda\left(n\right)$ be the Von Mangoldt function, let \[ r_{G}\left(n\right)=\underset{{\scriptstyle m_{1}+m_{2}=n}}{\sum_{m_{1},m_{2}\leq n}}\Lambda\left(m_{1}\right)\Lambda\left(m_{2}\right), \] \[…
We prove a very general sharp inequality of the H\"older--Young--type for functions defined on infinite dimensional Gaussian spaces. We begin by considering a family of commutative products for functions which interpolates between the…
We consider a generalization of a functional equation that models the learning process in various animal species. The equation can be considered nonlocal, as it is built with a convex combination of the unknown function evaluated at mixed…
Recently, Grynkiewicz et al. [{\it Israel J. Math.} {\bf 193} (2013), 359--398], using tools from additive combinatorics and group theory, proved necessary and sufficient conditions under which the linear congruence $a_1x_1+\cdots…
Let $G$ be a commutative algebraic group embedded in projective space and $\Gamma$ a finitely generated subgroup of $G$. From these data we construct a chain of algebraic subgroups of $G$ which is intimately related to obstructions to…
We describe a general approach for constructing a broad class of operators approximating high-dimensional curves based on geometric Hermite data. The geometric Hermite data consists of point samples and their associated tangent vectors of…
In this paper the interpolating rational functions introduced by Floater and Hormann are generalized leading to a whole new family of rational functions depending on $\gamma$, an additional positive integer parameter. For $\gamma = 1$, the…
Let $A$ be a set in an abelian group $G$. For integers $h,r \geq 1$ the generalized $h$-fold sumset, denoted by $h^{(r)}A$, is the set of sums of $h$ elements of $A$, where each element appears in the sum at most $r$ times. If…
We present a proof of the celebrated result due to Alexander and Hirschowitz which determines when a general set of double points in $\mathbb P^n$ has the expected Hilbert function. Our intended audience are Commutative Algebraists who may…
Let $\lambda$ be a positive number, and let $(x_j:j\in\mathbb Z)\subset\mathbb R$ be a fixed Riesz-basis sequence, namely, $(x_j)$ is strictly increasing, and the set of functions $\{\mathbb R\ni t\mapsto e^{ix_jt}:j\in\mathbb Z\}$ is a…
For a positive integer $n$ let $H_n=\sum_{k=1}^{n}1/k$ be the $n$th harmonic number. Z. W. Sun conjectured that for any prime $p\ge 5$, $$ \sum_{k=1}^{p-1}\frac{H_k}{k\cdot 2^k} \equiv7/24pB_{p-3}\pmod{p^2}. $$ This conjecture is recently…
