In this paper we strongly improve asymptotics for $s_1(n)$ (respectively $s_2(n)$) which sums reciprocals (respectively squares of reciprocals) of parts throughout all the partitions of $n$ into distinct parts. The methods required are much…

It is the purpose of this thesis to enunciate and prove a collection of explicit results in the theory of prime numbers. First, the problem of primes in short intervals is considered. We prove that there is a prime between consecutive cubes…

We prove that suitable asymptotic formulae in short intervals hold for the problems of representing an integer as a sum of a prime square and a square, or a prime square. Such results are obtained both assuming the Riemann Hypothesis and in…

In this paper we study a sequence involving the prime numbers by deriving two asymptotic formulas and finding new upper and lower bounds, which improve the currently known estimates.

We consider a renewal-like recursion and prove that the solution is polynomially decaying asymptotically under suitable conditions. We prove similar results for the corresponding integral equation. In both cases coefficients and functions…

We make explicit a theorem of Pintz concerning the error term in the prime number theorem. This gives an improved version of the prime number theorem with error term roughly square-root of that which was previously known. We apply this to a…

This paper aims to show that by making use of Ramanujan's Master Theorem and the properties of the lower incomplete gamma function, it is possible to construct a finite Mellin transform for the function $f(x)$ that has infinite series…

In this short note, we give two proofs of the infinitude of primes via valuation theory and give a new proof of the divergence of the sum of prime reciprocals by Roth's theorem and Euler-Legendre's theorem for arithmetic progressions.

In 'The Lost Notebook and Other Unpublished Papers' of Ramanujan are present some manuscripts of Ramanujan in the handwriting of G. N. Watson which are 'copied from loose papers'. We present a proof of a beautiful formula of Ramanujan in…

In this note we present a refinement of the AM-GM inequality, and then we estimate in a special case the typical size of the improvement.

Ramanujan sums have attracted significant attention in both mathematical and engineering disciplines due to their diverse applications. In this paper, we introduce an algebraic generalization of Ramanujan sums, derived through polynomial…

We improve a known result on the strong consistency of M-estimates of the regression parameters in a linear model for independent and identically distributed random errors under some mild conditions.

For an arithmetical function $f$, its Ramanujan expansion is a series expansion in the form $f(n)=\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty}a(k) c_k(n)$ where $a(k)$ are complex numbers and $c_k(n):= \sum\limits_{\substack{m=1\\(m, k)=1}}^{k}e^{\frac{2\pi…

An integer $a$ is said to be regular (mod $r$) if there exists an integer $x$ such that $a^2x\equiv a\pmod{r}$. In this paper we introduce an analogue of Ramanujan's sum with respect to regular integers (mod $r$) and show that this analogue…

We prove a kind of bilateral semi-terminating series related to Ramanujan-like series for negative powers of $\pi$, and conjecture a type of supercongruences associated to them. We support this conjecture by checking all the cases for many…

We continue investigations on the average number of representations of a large positive integer as a sum of given powers of prime numbers. The average is taken over a short interval, whose admissible length depends on whether or not we…

In classical prime number theory there are several asymptotic formulas said to be "equivalent" to the PNT. One is the bound $M(x) = o(x)$ for the sum function of the Moebius function. For Beurling generalized numbers, this estimate is not…

The study of Ramanujan-type congruences for functions specific to additive number theory has a long and rich history. Motivated by recent connections between divisor sums and overpartitions via congruences in arithmetic progressions, we…

Numerical study of the distribution of the Riemann zeros differences following the work [1] shows the significance of the function for which the prime sum expression is proposed. Computational results related to this definition explored…

Here we give a lower bound of the Mahler measure on a set of polynomials that are "almost" reciprocal. Here "almost" reciprocal means that the outermost coefficients of each polynomial mirror each other in proportion, while this pattern…
