This is an expository article that results from a talk given to second year students at Oldenburg university. The aim of the talk was to show what beautiful and unexpected results may be obtained if one plays with daring analogies in a way…

Using combinatorial techniques, we derive a recurrence identity that expresses an exponential power sum with negative powers in terms of another exponential power sum with positive powers. Consequently, we derive a formula for the power sum…

We introduce Euler summability method for sequences of fuzzy numbers and state a Tauberian theorem concerning Euler summability method, of which proof provides an alternative to that of K. Knopp[\"Uber das Eulersche Summierungsverfahren II,…

The Euler--Maclaurin (EM) summation formula is used in many theoretical studies and numerical calculations. It approximates the sum $\sum_{k=0}^{n-1} f(k)$ of values of a function $f$ by a linear combination of a corresponding integral of…

Translation from the Latin of Euler's "Observatio de summis divisorum" (1752). E243 in the Enestroem index. The pentagonal number theorem is that $\prod_{n=1}^\infty (1-x^n)=\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty (-1)^n x^{n(3n-1)/2}$. This paper assumes…

I relate some coefficients encountered when computing the functional determinants on spheres to the central differentials of nothing. In doing this I use some historic works, in particular transcribing the elegant symbolic formalism of…

By doing a slight change to a beautiful and widely unknown argument by E. L. Stark [E. L. Stark, Application of a Mean Value Theorem for Integrals to Series Summation, Amer. Math. Monthly 85 (1978) 481--483.] we get a candidate to be…

Suppose that some harmonic analysis arguments have been invoked to show that the indicator function of a set of residue classes modulo some integer has a large Fourier coefficient. To get information about the structure of the set of…

The Euler-Poincar\'e characteristic of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra vanishes. If we want to extend this result to Lie superalgebras, we should deal with infinite sums. We observe that a suitable method of summation, which goes back to…

In the paper we study a special parameter containing algebraic inequality involving sum of reciprocals and product of positive real numbers whose sum is 1. We determine the best values of the parameter using a new optimization argument. In…

Sequence transformations are valuable numerical tools that have been used with considerable success for the acceleration of convergence and the summation of diverging series. However, our understanding of their theoretical properties is far…

In $1735$ Euler \cite{1} proved that for each positive integer $k$, the series $\zeta(2k) = \sum_{\ell=1}^{\infty} \ell^{-2k}$ converges to a rational multiple of $\pi^{2k}$. Many demonstrations of this fact are now known, and Euler's…

We establish some identities of Euler related sums. By using these identities, we discuss the closed form representations of sums of harmonic numbers and reciprocal parametric binomial coefficients through parametric harmonic numbers,…

We extend several celebrated methods in classical analysis for summing series of complex numbers to series of complex matrices. These include the summation methods of Abel, Borel, Ces\'aro, Euler, Lambert, N\"orlund, and Mittag-Leffler,…

Euler evaluates the integrals in the title and recognizes a recursion between them, which he then uses to give continued fractions for the log and arctan. The paper is translated from Euler's Latin original into German.

The Euler numbers have been widely studied. A signed version of the Euler numbers of even subscript are given by the coefficients of the exponential generating function 1/(1+x^2/2!+x^4/4!+...). Leeming and MacLeod introduced a…

We propose a generic algorithm for computing the inverses of a multiplicative function under the assumption that the set of inverses is finite. More generally, our algorithm can compute certain functions of the inverses, such as their power…
