We present a new and elegant integral approach to computing the Gardner-Fisher trigonometric power sum, which is given by $$ S_{m,v}=\left(\frac \pi{2m}\right)^{2v}\sum_{k=1}^{m-1}\cos^{-2v}\left(\frac{k\pi}{2m}\right)\, , $$ We present a…
We show how to find series expansions for $\pi$ of the form $\pi=\sum_{n=0}^\infty {S(n)}\big/{\binom{mn}{pn}a^n}$, where S(n) is some polynomial in $n$ (depending on $m,p,a$). We prove that there exist such expansions for $m=8k$, $p=4k$,…
We introduce a general class $F_0$ of additive functions $f$ such that $f(p) = 1$ and prove a tight bound for exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n \le x} f(n) e(\alpha n)$ where $f \in F_0$ and $e(\theta) = \exp(2\pi i \theta)$. Both…
We investigate the second order asymptotic behavior of trimmed sums $T_n=\frac 1n \sum_{i=\kn+1}^{n-\mn}\xin$, where $\kn$, $\mn$ are sequences of integers, $0\le \kn < n-\mn \le n$, such that $\min(\kn, \mn) \to \infty$, as $\nty$, the…
Finite trigonometric sums occur in various branches of physics, mathematics, and their applications. These sums may contain various powers of one or more trigonometric functions. Sums with one trigonometric function are known, however sums…
We consider "Taylor domination" property for an analytic function $f(z)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}a_{k}z^{k},$ in the complex disk $D_R$, which is an inequality of the form \[ |a_{k}|R^{k}\leq C\ \max_{i=0,\dots,N}\ |a_{i}|R^{i}, \ k \geq N+1. \]…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite, connected graph. We consider a greedy selection of vertices: given a list of vertices $x_1, \dots, x_k$, take $x_{k+1}$ to be any vertex maximizing the sum of distances to the existing vertices and iterate: we…
Let $\pi$ be a Hecke--Maass cusp form for $\rm SL_3(\mathbb{Z})$ with normalized Hecke eigenvalues $\lambda_{\pi}(n,r)$. Let $f$ be a holomorphic or Maass cusp form for $\rm SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ with normalized Hecke eigenvalues…
Let $f: {\mathbb R}\to {\mathbb R}$ be a measurable function satisfying \begin{equation*} f(x+1)=f(x), \qquad \int_0^1 f(x)\, dx=0, \qquad \int_0^1 f^2(x)\, dx<\infty. \end{equation*} The asymptotic properties of series $\sum c_k f(kx)$…
Define $g_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nk^2\binom{2k}kx^k$ for $n=0,1,2,...$. Those numbers $g_n=g_n(1)$ are closely related to Ap\'ery numbers and Franel numbers. In this paper we establish some fundamental congruences involving $g_n(x)$. For…
Hypergeometric structures in single and multiscale Feynman integrals emerge in a wide class of topologies. Using integration-by-parts relations, associated master or scalar integrals have to be calculated. For this purpose it appears useful…
Given a real projective curve with homogeneous coordinate ring R and a nonnegative homogeneous element f in R, we bound the degree of a nonzero homogeneous sum-of-squares g in R such that the product fg is again a sum of squares. Better…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of the classical Dedekind sums $s(s_k/t_k)$ for the sequence of convergents $s_k/t_k$ $k\ge 0$, of the transcendental number \BD \sum_{j=0}^\infty\frac {1}{b^{2^j}},\ b\ge 3. \ED In particular, we show that…
Results are presented for some infinite series appearing in Feynman diagram calculations, many of which are similar to the Euler series. These include both one-, two- and three-dimensional series. The sums of these series can be evaluated…
Benjamini, Finucane and the first author have shown that if (G_n,S_n) is a sequence of Cayley graphs such that |S_n^n|=O(n^D|S_n|), then the sequence (G_n,d_{S_n}/n) is relatively compact for the Gromov-Hausdorff topology and every cluster…
The geometric sum plays a significant role in risk theory and reliability theory \cite{Kala97} and a prototypical example of the geometric sum is R\'enyi's theorem~\cite{Renyi56} saying a sequence of suitably parameterised geometric sums…
We investigate from a multifractal analysis point of view the increasing rate of the sums of partial quotients $S\_n(x)=\sum\_{j=1}^n a\_j(x)$, where $x=[a\_1(x), a\_2(x), \cdots ]$ is the continued fraction expansion of an irrational $x\in…
We investigate here sums of triangular numbers $f(x):=\sum_i b_i T_{x_i}$ where $T_n$ is the $n$-th triangular number. We show that for a set of positive integers $S$ there is a finite subset $S_0$ such that $f$ represents $S$ if and only…
In this paper, we deduce a family of six new series for $1/\pi$; for example, $$\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{41673840n+4777111}{5780^n}W_n\left(\frac{1444}{1445}\right) =\frac{147758475}{\sqrt{95}\,\pi}$$ where $W_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom…
