Questions concerning small fractional parts of polynomials and pseudo-polynomials have a long history in analytic number theory. In this paper, we improve on earlier work by Madritsch and Tichy. In particular, let $f=P+\phi$ where $P$ is a…

This paper concerns the values of the Euler phi-function evaluated simultaneously on k arithmetic progressions a_1 n + b_1, a_2 n + b_2, ..., a_k n + b_k. Assuming the necessary condition that no two of the polynomials a_i x + b_i are…

Let $\beta>1$ be fixed. We consider the $(\frak{b, d})$ numeration system, where the base ${\frak b}=(b_k)_{k\geq 0}$ is a sequence of positive real numbers satisfying $\lim_{k\rightarrow \infty}b_{k+1}/b_k=\beta$, and the set of digits…

We consider the class $\Sigma(p)$ of univalent meromorphic functions $f$ on $\ID$ having simple pole at $z=p\in[0,1)$ with residue 1. Let $\Sigma_k(p)$ be the class of functions in $\Sigma(p)$ which have $k$-quasiconformal extension to the…

We show how the Binomial Theorem can be used to continue the Riemann Zeta Function to the left hand half-plane. This method yields the explicit values of the function at non-positive integers in terms of the Bernoulli numbers.

We introduce an algorithm to compute the functions belonging to a suitable set ${\mathscr F}$ defined as follows: $f\in {\mathscr F}$ means that $f(s,x)$, $s\in A\subset {\mathbb R}$ being fixed and $x>0$, has a power series expansion…

We prove several asymptotic continued fraction expansions of $\pi(x)$, $\Pi(x)$, $\operatorname{li}(x)$, $\operatorname{Ri}(x)$, and related functions, where $\pi(x)$ is the prime counting function, $\Pi(x) = \sum_{k = 1}^\infty…

The two-fold aim of the paper is to unify and generalize on the one hand the double integrals of Beukers for $\zeta(2)$ and $\zeta(3),$ and those of the second author for Euler's constant $\gamma$ and its alternating analog $\ln(4/\pi),$…

We construct polynomial approximations of Dzjadyk type (in terms of the k-th modulus of continuity, $k \ge 1$) for analytic functions defined on a continuum E in the complex plane, which simultaneously interpolate at given points of E.…

For a subfield K of C, we denote by C^K the category of algebras of functions defined on the globally subanalytic sets that are generated by all K-powers and logarithms of positively-valued globally subanalytic functions. For any function f…

We review the function theoretical properties of the Mittag-Leffler function $E_{a,b}\left( z\right) $ in a self-contained manner, but also add new results; more than half is new!

This paper focuses on the problem of finding a continuous extension of the hypercomplex logarithm along a path. While a branch of the complex logarithm can be defined in a small open neighbourhood of a strictly negative real point, no…

We provide examples of multiplicative functions $f$ supported on the $k$-free integers such that at primes $f(p)=\pm 1$ and such that the partial sums of $f$ up to $x$ are $o(x^{1/k})$. Further, if we assume the Generalized Riemann…

We prove some inequalities for the spectral radius of positive operators on Banach function spaces. In particular, we show the following extension of Levinger's theorem. Let $K$ be a positive compact kernel operator on $L^2(X,\mu)$ with the…

For any periodic function $f:{\mathbb N} \to {\mathbb C}$ with period $q$, we study the Dirichlet series $L(s,f):=\sum_{n\geq 1} f(n)/n^s.$ It is well-known that this admits an analytic continuation to the entire complex plane except at…

In a recent work, Gun and co-workers have proposed that $\,\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}{(n+\alpha)^{-k}}\,$ is a transcendental number for all integer $\,k$, $k > 1$, and $\,\alpha \in \mathbb{Q} \backslash \mathbb{Z}$. Here in this work, this…

Let $L(s)=\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}\dfrac{a(n)}{n^s}$ be a Dirichlet series were $a(n)$ is a bounded completely multiplicative function. We prove that if $L(s)$ extends to a holomorphic function on the open half space $\Re s >1-\delta$,…

In this paper we study that the $q$-Euler numbers and polynomials are analytically continued to $E_q(s)$. A new formula for the Euler's $q$-Zeta function $\zeta_{E,q}(s)$ in terms of nested series of $\zeta_{E,q}(n)$ is derived. Finally we…

In order to well understand the behaviour of the Riemann zeta function inside the critical strip, we show; among other things, the Fourier expansion of the $\zeta^k(s)$ ($k \in \mathbb{N}$) in the half-plane $\Re s > 1/2$ and we deduce a…

Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein integral functions are of importance not only in quantum statistics but for their mathematical properties, in themselves. Here, we have extended these functions by introducing an extra parameter in a way that…
