In a recent paper G. Bhatnagar has given simple proofs of some of Ramanujan's continued fractions. In this note we show that some variants of these continued fractions are generating functions of q-Schroeder-like numbers.

Let $R^{\frac{1}{2}}$ be a large integer, and $\omega$ be a nonnegative weight in the $R$-ball $B_R=[0,R]^2$ such that $\omega(B_R)\le R$. For any complex sequence $\{a_n\}$, define the quadratic exponential sum \[…

We establish a new bound for the exponential sum \begin{eqnarray*} \sum_{x\in\mathcal{X}}\Big|\sum_{y\in \mathcal{Y}}\gamma(y)\exp(2\pi i a \lambda^{xy}/p)\Big|, \end{eqnarray*} where $\lambda$ is an element of the residue ring modulo a…

We propose a sum rule for $r$-derangements (meaning that the elements are restricted to be in distinct cycles in the cycle decomposition) involving binomial coefficients. The identity, obtained using the Cauchy product of two exponential…

Let $c_q(n)$ be the Ramanujan sums. Many results concerning Ramanujan-Fourier series $f(n)=\sum_{q=1}^\infty a_q c_q (n)$ are obtained by many mathematicians. In this paper we study series of the form $f(q)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n c_q (n)$,…

We extend some methods of bounding exponential sums of the type $\displaystyle\sum_{n\le N}e^{2\pi iag^n/p}$ to deal with the case when $g$ is not necessarily a primitive root. We also show some recent results of Shkredov concerning…

The Bernstein operators allow to build recursively the Schur functions. We present a recursion formula for k-Schur functions at t=1 based on combinatorial operators that generalize the Bernstein operators. The recursion leads immediately to…

We show that exponential sums (ES) of the form \begin{equation*} S(f, N)= \sum_{k=0}^{N-1} \sqrt{w_k} e^{2 \pi i f(k)}, \end{equation*} can be efficiently carried out with a quantum computer (QC). Here $N$ can be exponentially large, $w_k$…

In this manuscript, various properties of the Ramanujan integral $I_R(x)$, defined as \begin{align*} I_R(x) = \int_0^\infty e^{-xt} \dfrac{dt}{t(\pi^2 + \log^2 t)}, \quad x>0, \end{align*} are investigated, including its monotonicity,…

In this paper we define "a continued fraction expansion of the exponential integral $E_{1}(x)$ at infinity", which is analogous to the regular continued fraction expansion of real numbers, and prove that this expansion gives the same…

Ramanujan's approximation to the exponential function is reexamined with the help of Perron's saddle-point method. This allows for a wide generalization that includes the results of Buckholtz, and where all the asymptotic expansion…
