We provide the analytic forms of the distributions for the sum of ordered spacings. We do this both for the case where the boundaries are included in the calculation of the spacings and the case where they are excluded. Both the probability…

We consider the series of reciprocals of those positive integers with exactly $k$ occurrences of a given $b$-ary digit $d$ (Irwin series), and obtain geometrically convergent representations for their sums. They are expressed in terms of…
It is known that the sum of the reciprocal of integers, $\sum_n (1/n)$, and the sum of the reciprocal of primes, $\sum_n (1/p_n)$, both diverge. Here, we study a series made from primes that sums exactly to 1. We also show this sum is…

A new general and unified method of summation, which is both regular and consistent, is invented. It is based on the idea concerning a way of integers reordering. The resulting theory includes a number of explicit and closed form summation…

Explicit expressions for the hypergeometric series ${}_2F_1(-n, a; 2a\pm j;2)$ and ${}_2F_1(-n, a; -2n\pm j;2)$ for positive integer $n$ and arbitrary integer $j$ are obtained with the help of generalizations of Kummer's second and third…
Let $\gamma$ denote imaginary parts of complex zeros of the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$. Certain sums over the $\gamma$'s are evaluated, by using the function $G(s) = \sum_{\gamma>0}\gamma^{-s}$ and other techniques. Some integrals…
