The alternating zeta function zeta*(s) = 1 - 2^{-s} + 3^{-s} - ... is related to the Riemann zeta function by the identity (1-2^{1-s})zeta(s) = zeta*(s). We deduce the vanishing of zeta*(s) at each nonreal zero of the factor 1-2^{1-s}…

A classical theorem of Kempner states that the sum of the reciprocals of positive integers with missing decimal digits converges. This result is extended to much larger families of "missing digits" sets of positive integers with convergent…

For the Dirichlet series of the form $\displaystyle F(z,\omega)=\sum\nolimits_{k=0}^{+\infty} f_k(\omega)e^{z\lambda_k(\omega)} $ $ (z\in\mathbb{C},$ $\omega\in\Omega)$ with pairwise independent real exponents $(\lambda_k(\omega))$ on…

The Hardy function $Z(t)=\zeta(1/2+it)e^{i\theta(t)}$ takes real values for real $t$ and its real zeros are zeros $\zeta(s)$ on the critical line $1/2+it$. After discovering the critical value of the local maximum in 1956, Lehmer formulated…

In 2000, Hafner and Stopple proved a conjecture of Zagier which states that the constant term of the automorphic function $|\Delta(x+iy)|^2$ i.e., the Lambert series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \tau(n)^2 e^{-4 \pi n y}$ can be expressed in terms of…

We define the associated geometric series for a large class of positive linear operators and study the convergence of the series in the case of sequences of admissible operators. We obtain an inverse Voronovskaya theorem and we apply our…

This study deals with certain harmonic zeta functions, one of them occurs in the study of the multiplication property of the harmonic Hurwitz zeta function. The values at the negative even integers are found and Laurent expansions at poles…

Recently, several new results related to the evaluation of the series sum (-1)^n zeta(n)/(n+k) were published. In this short note we show that this series also possesses an interesting connection to the values of the zeta-function on the…

We study non-stationary averaging processes, where each term of a sequence is a weighted average of previous terms, namely $a_{n+1} = \sum_{j=1}^n p_n(j) a_j$. Our results extend classical theory in two distinct regimes. First, we prove a…

We give a proof of two identities involving binomial sums at infinity conjectured by Z-W Sun. In order to prove these identities, we use a recently presented method i.e. we view the series as specializations of generating series and derive…

The Stieltjes constants $\gamma_k(a)$ appear as the coefficients in the regular part of the Laurent expansion of the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta(s,a)$ about $s=1$. We generalize the integral and Stirling number series results of [4] for…

Sequences diverge either because they head off to infinity or because they oscillate. Part 1 \cite{Part1} of this paper laid the pure mathematics groundwork by defining Archimedean classes of infinite numbers as limits of smooth sequences.…

To obtain the Dirichlet series for complex powers of the Riemann zeta function, we define and study the basic properties of a sequence of polynomials that, used as coefficients of the respective terms of the Dirichlet series of the Riemann…

Let $\vartheta := \frac{-1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$ be the golden ratio. A golden lattice is an even unimodular $\Z[\vartheta ]$-lattice of which the Hilbert theta series is an extremal Hilbert modular form. We construct golden lattices from extremal…

Alexander and Hirschowitz determined the Hilbert function of a generic union of fat points in a projective space when the number of fat points is much bigger than the greatest multiplicity of the fat points. Their method is based on a lemma…

Recently G. Louchard obtained an asymptotic series $\sum_{j=0}^\infty\frac{I_j}{n^j}$ for the integral $\int_0^1[x^n+(1-x)^n]^{\frac1n}dx$ as $n\to\infty$, and computed $I_j$ for $j\le 5$ in terms of values of the Riemann zeta function. An…

In this paper we define a symmetric zeta function. We show that it can be analytically continued to a meromorphic function on $\mathbb{C}^3$ with only simple poles at some special hyperplanes. We also calculate the value of a multiple…

We describe how certain properties of the extrema of the digits of Luroth expansions lead to a probabilistic proof of a limiting relation involving the Riemann zeta function and the Bernoulli triangles. We also discuss trimmed sums of…

In this paper, we use the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(x)$ and the Bessel zeta function $\zeta_{\mu}(x)$ to study the log-behavior of combinatorial sequences. We prove that $\zeta(x)$ is log-convex for $x>1$. As a consequence, we deduce…

In this paper, we introduce a geometrical summation method that makes the original Riemann series converge over the critical strip. This method gives an analytical function, that coincides with z\^eta. This point of view allows us to…
