The present paper proves that if for a power sum $\alpha$ over $\ZZ$ the length of the period of the continued fraction for $\sqrt{\alpha(n)}$ is constant for infinitely many even (resp. odd) $n$, then $\sqrt{\alpha(n)}$ admits a functional…

Let F/k be a finite abelian extension of global function fields, totally split at a distinguished place \infty. We prove that a complex Gras conjecture holds for a suitable group of Stark units, and we derive a refined analytic class number…

We give a characterization of those functions whose all translates are complete in certain Orlicz space $L^{\Phi}(\mathbb{R})$. As a consequence, we identified those discrete sets $\Lambda \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ such that there exists a…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic 0, $f:\mathbb{N}\to K$ be a multiplicative function, and $F(z)=\sum_{n\geq 1} f(n)z^n\in K[[z]]$ be algebraic over $K(z)$. Then either there is a natural number $k$ and a periodic multiplicative function…

We introduce the generic Lah polynomials $L_{n,k}(\phi)$, which enumerate unordered forests of increasing ordered trees with a weight $\phi_i$ for each vertex with $i$ children. We show that, if the weight sequence $\phi$ is…

Hypergeometric functions and their generalizations play an important r\^{o}les in diverse applications. Many authors have been established generalizations of hypergeometric functions by a number ways. In this paper, we aim at establishing…

This paper presents a reformulation of the Leibniz product rule as a finite sum that expresses the fractional derivative of the product of two differentiable functions. This paper then proves the cases for when the product consists of an…

Various problems on integers lead to the class of congruence preserving functions on rings, i.e. functions verifying $a-b$ divides $f(a)-f(b)$ for all $a,b$. We characterized these classes of functions in terms of sums of rational…

We study three special Dirichlet series, two of them alternating, related to the Riemann zeta function. These series are shown to have extensions to the entire complex plane and we find their values at the negative integers (or residues at…

We describe maximal, in a sense made precise, analytic continuations of germs at infinity of unary functions definable in the o-minimal structure R_an,exp on the Riemann surface of the logarithm. As one application, we give an upper bound…

Let $f_{\bf c}(r)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty e^{c_n}r^n$ be an analytic function; ${\bf c}=(c_n)\in l_\infty$. We assume that $r$ is some logarithmically convex and lower semicontinuous functional on a locally convex topological space $L$. In this…

We study the linear fractional transformations in the Hecke group $G(\Phi)$ where $\Phi$ is either root of $x^2 - x -1$ (the larger root being the "golden ratio" $\phi = 2 \cos \frac {\pi}5$.) Let $g \in G(\Phi)$ and let $z$ be a generic…

Let $k$ be a positive real number, and let $M_k(q)$ be the sum of $|L(\tfrac12,\chi)|^{2k}$ over all non-principal characters to a given modulus $q$. We prove that $M_k(q)\ll_k \phi(q)(\log q)^{k^2}$ whenever $k$ is the reciprocal $n^{-1}$…

The properties of continued fractions whose partial quotients belong to a quadratic number field K are distinct from those of classical continued fractions. Unlike classical continued fractions, it is currently impossible to identify…

Proper continued fractions are generalized continued fractions with positive integer numerators $a_i$ and integer denominators with $b_i\geq a_i$. In this paper we study the strength of approximation of irrational numbers to their…

We study the $L^p$-convergence of Fourier expansions in terms of non-symmetric Heckman-Opdam polynomials of type $A_1$. Using kernel estimates and duality arguments, we prove that the partial sums converge in $ L^p([-\pi,\pi],dm_k)$ for…

The following extension of Bohr's theorem is established: If a somewhere convergent Dirichlet series $f$ has an analytic continuation to the half-plane $\mathbb{C}_\theta = \{s = \sigma+it\,:\, \sigma>\theta\}$ that maps $\mathbb{C}_\theta$…

We provide several asymptotic expansions of the prime counting function $\pi(x)$ and related functions. We define an {\it asymptotic continued fraction expansion} of a complex-valued function of a real or complex variable to be a possibly…

We examine a special linear combination of balanced very-well-poised $\tphia$ basic hypergeometric series that is known to satisfy a transformation. We call this $\Phi$ and show that it satisfies certain three-term contiguous relations.…
