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 survey the results and the methods in the theory of universality for various zeta and $L$-functions, obtained in these forty years after the first discovery of the universality for the Riemann zeta-function by Voronin.
In analogy with values of the classical Euler Gamma-function at rational numbers and the Riemann zeta-function at positive integers, we consider Thakur's geometric Gamma-function evaluated at rational arguments and Carlitz zeta-values at…
In this article, we investigate how Euler might have been led to conjecture the Prime Number Theorem, based on what he knew. We also speculate on why he did not do so.
The purpose of this article is to introduce the concept of invariance and its properties. These properties can be used to check the primality of a number. Combining these properties with the Euler theorem, it is possible to generalize this…
We present a proof given by Euler in his paper {\it ``De serierum determinatione seu nova methodus inveniendi terminos generales serierum"} \cite{E189} (E189:``On the determination of series or a new method of finding the general terms of…
This is a translation of Euler's Latin paper "De fractionibus continuis observationes" into English. In this paper Euler describes his theory of continued fractions. He teaches, how to transform series into continued fractions, solves the…
In this paper, we obtain some formulas for double nonlinear Euler sums involving harmonic numbers and alternating harmonic numbers. By using these formulas, we give new closed form sums of several quadratic Euler series through Riemann zeta…
We introduce a new factorial function which agrees with the usual Euler gamma function at both the positive integers and at all half-integers, but which is also entire. We describe the basic features of this function.
This is an annotated translation of E126 'De novo genere oscillationum', in which Euler derived for the first time, the differential equation of the (undamped) simple harmonic oscillator under harmonic excitation, namely, the motion of an…
In this article we give a result obtained of an experimental way for the Euler totient function.
Israel M. Gelfand gave a geometric interpretation for general hypergeometric functions as sections of the tautological bundle over a complex Grassmannian $G_{k,n}$. In particular, the beta function can be understood in terms of $G_{2,3}$.…
Euler gives an asymptotic approximation for the function f(x) and recognizes that he is trying to interpolate the factorial function introduced in E19 "De progressionibus transcendentibus seu quarum termini generales algebraice dari…

An analysis of the zeta and gamma function is presented, using elementary functions like [] and {}, a general formula for the angle of zeta(1/2 + i*n) is found and the same for the gamma function.
We consider some parametrized classes of multiple sums first studied by Euler. Identities between meromorphic functions of one or more variables generate reduction formulae for these sums.
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…
We study a q-logarithm which was introduced by Euler and give some of its properties. This q-logarithm did not get much attention in the recent literature. We derive basic properties, some of which were already given by Euler in a…
In the paper, 2 explicit formulas for the Euler numbers of the second kind are obtained. Based on those formulas a exponential generating function is deduced. Using the generating function some well-known and new identities for the Euler…
In 1776, L. Euler proposed three methods, called prima methodus, secunda methodus and tertia methodus, to calculate formulae for double zeta values. However strictly speaking, his last two methods are mathematically incomplete and require…
