The $(k,i)$-singular overpartitions, combinatorial objects introduced by Andrews in 2015, are known to satisfy Ramanujan-type congruences modulo any power of prime coprime to $6k$. In this paper we consider the parity of the number…
Given lacunary sequence of integers, $n_k$, $n_{k+1}/n_k>\lambda>1$, we define a new sequence $\{m_k\}$ formed by all possible $l$-wise sums $\pm n_{k_1}\pm n_{k_2}\pm \ldots\pm n_{k_l}$. We prove if $\lambda>\lambda_l$, then any series…
In the study of Ramanujan sums, the so-called regular $A$-function is a set-valued multiplicative function that tracks certain subsets of the divisor sets of natural numbers. McCarthy provided a generalization of the Ramanujan sum using…
A simple integration by parts and telescopic cancellation leads to a rigorous derivation of the first 2 terms for the error in Ramanujan's asymptotic series for the nth partial sum of the harmonic series. Then Kummer's transformation gives…
Hindman's theorem says that every finite coloring of the natural numbers has a monochromatic set of finite sums. Ramsey algebras are structures that satisfy an analogue of Hindman's Theorem. This paper introduces Ramsey algebras and…
In this article we study properties of Ramanujan's mock theta functions that can be expressed in Lerch sums. We mainly show that each Lerch sum is actually the integral of a Jacobian theta function (here we show that for $\vartheta_3(t,q)$…
In this paper we show that if $A$ is a subset of the primes with positive relative density $\delta$, then $A+A$ must have positive upper density $C_1\delta e^{-C_2(\log(1/\delta))^{2/3}(\log\log(1/\delta))^{1/3}}$ in $\mathbb{N}$. Our…
We consider the asymptotics of sums of the form $$ \frac1{F_n^\sigma} \sum_{m = 1}^{F_n-1} \frac{f(m/F_n)}{\left|{\sin(\pi m/F_n)}\right|^\sigma} \frac{f(F_{n-1}m/F_n)}{\left|{\sin(\pi F_{n-1}m/F_n)}\right|^\sigma} $$ where $(F_n)_{n \in…
In this note, we revisit a classical problem related to the density of nonlinear statistics. We obtain a new representation of densities and, for the first time, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of densities is…
In this paper, we consider sums of three generalized $m$-gonal numbers whose parameters are restricted to integers with a bounded number of prime divisors. With some restrictions on $m$ modulo $30$, we show that a density one set of…
Carlson introduced the notion of a Ramsey space as a generalization to the Ellentuck space. When a Ramsey space is induced by an algebra, Carlson suggested a study of its purely combinatorial version now called Ramsey algebra. Some basic…
In this short note we use the umbral formalism to derive the Ramanujan Master Theorem and discuss its extension to more general cases.
The paper consists of two parts. The aim of the first, and main, part is to explain, in an elementary way, Hasse's proof of Ramanujan-Nagell's Theorem. In the second part, we formulate some natural extensions of Ramanujan-Nagell's equation.
We prove a general alternate circular summation formula of theta functions, which implies a great deal of theta-function identities. In particular, we recover several identities in Ramanujan's Notebook from this identity. We also obtain two…
We give an elementary proof of an analogue of Fej\'er's theorem in weighted Dirichlet spaces with superharmonic weights. This provides a simple way of seeing that polynomials are dense in such spaces.
This paper describes a recursive estimation procedure for multivariate binary densities (probability distributions of vectors of Bernoulli random variables) using orthogonal expansions. For $d$ covariates, there are $2^d$ basis coefficients…
For a fixed nonnegative integer $u$ and positive integer $n$, we investigate the symmetric function \[\sum_{d|n} \left(c_d(\tfrac{n}{d})\right)^u p_d^{\tfrac{n}{d}},\] where $p_n$ denotes the $n$th power sum symmetric function, and $c_d(r)$…
For a fixed number field $K$, we consider the mean square error in estimating the number of primes with norm congruent to $a$ modulo $q$ by the Chebotar\"ev Density Theorem when averaging over all $q\le Q$ and all appropriate $a$. Using a…
We use very large cosmological N--body simulations to obtain accurate predictions for the two-point correlations and power spectra of mass-limited samples of galaxy clusters. We consider two currently popular cold dark matter (CDM)…
We prove q-analogues of two Ramanujan-type series for $1/\pi$ from $q$-analogues of ordinary WZ pairs.
