The Motzkin numbers $M_n=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom n{2k}\binom{2k}k/(k+1)$ $(n=0,1,2,\ldots)$ and the central trinomial coefficients $T_n$ ($n=0,1,2,\ldots)$ given by the constant term of $(1+x+x^{-1})^n$, have many combinatorial interpretations.…
We estimate the sums \[ \sum_{c\leq x} \frac{S(m,n,c,\chi)}{c}, \] where the $S(m,n,c,\chi)$ are Kloosterman sums of half-integral weight on the modular group. Our estimates are uniform in $m$, $n$, and $x$ in analogy with Sarnak and…
This paper presents new formulae for the harmonic numbers of order $k$, $H_{k}(n)$, and for the partial sums of two Fourier series associated with them, denoted here by $C^m_{k}(n)$ and $S^m_{k}(n)$. I believe this new formula for…
Let $\Lambda$ be the von Mangoldt function and $r_{Q}\left(n\right)=\sum_{m_{1}+m_{2}^{2}+m_{3}^{2}=n}\Lambda\left(m_{1}\right)$ be the counting function for the numbers that can be written as sum of a prime and two squares (that we will…
This note is about the observation that the various transition formulas between bases of trigonometric polynomials can be expressed in terms binomial coefficients. More specifically, we write the entries of the Chebyshev matrices $ T$ and $…
We present two new methods for multivariate exponential analysis. In [7], we developed a new algorithm for reconstruction of univariate exponential sums by exploiting the rational structure of their Fourier coefficients and reconstructing…
We study two types of series over a real alternative $^*$-algebra $A$. The first type are series of the form $\sum_{n} (x-y)^{\punto n}a_n$, where $a_n$ and $y$ belong to $A$ and $(x-y)^{\punto n}$ denotes the $n$--th power of $x-y$ w.r.t.\…
Srinivasa Ramanujan provided series expansions of certain arithmetical functions in terms of the exponential sums defined by $c_r(n) = \sum\limits_{\substack{{m=1}\\ (m,r)=1}}^{r} e^{\frac{2 \pi imn}{r}}$ in [Trans. Cambridge Phillos. Soc,…
In this paper, we study the binomial sum $S_{n}(q):=% \overset{n}{\underset{k=0}{\sum }}a_{k}\binom{n}{k}\left( 1-q\right) ^{k}q^{n-k}$ for a given sequence $\left( a_{n}\right) $ of real or complex numbers. We express $S_{n}(q)$ in…
For any $m,n\in\mathbb{N}$ we first give new proofs for the following well known combinatorial identities \begin{equation*} S_n(m)=\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\binom{n}{k}\frac{(-1)^{k-1}}{k^m}=\sum\limits_{n\geq r_1\geq r_2\geq...\geq r_m\geq…
Compound matrices play an important role in many fields of mathematics and have recently found new applications in systems and control theory. However, the explicit formulas for these compounds are non-trivial and not always easy to use.…
We consider formal power series $ f(x) = a_1 x + a_2 x^2 + \cdots $ $(a_1 \neq 0)$, with coefficients in a field. We revisit the classical subject of iteration of formal power series, the n-fold composition $f^{(n)}(x)=f(f(\cdots…
In this paper we study mixed sums of primes and linear recurrences. We show that if m=2(mod 4) and m+1 is a prime then $(m^{2^n-1}-1)/(m-1)\not=m^n+p^a$ for any n=3,4,... and prime power p^a. We also prove that if a>1 is an integer, u_0=0,…
We solve multiple conjectures by Byszewski and Ulas about the sum of base $b$ digits function. In order to do this, we develop general results about summations over the sum of digits function. As a corollary, we describe an unexpected new…
In this paper we study the factors of some alternating sums of products of binomial and q-binomial coefficients. We prove that for all positive integers n_1,...,n_m, n_{m+1}=n_1, and 0\leq j\leq m-1, {n_1+n_{m}\brack…
We mainly introduce two new kinds of numbers given by $$R_n=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nk\binom{n+k}k\frac1{2k-1}\quad\ (n=0,1,2,...)$$ and $$S_n=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nk^2\binom{2k}k(2k+1)\quad\ (n=0,1,2,...).$$ We find that such numbers have many…
In this paper, we derive new estimates for the remainder term of the midpoint, trapezoid, and Simpson formulae for functions whose derivatives in absolute value at certain power are ({\alpha},m)-convex.
Square matrices of the form $\widetilde{\mathbf{A}} =\mathbf{A} + \mathbf{e}D \mathbf{f}^*$ are considered. An explicit expression for the inverse is given, provided $\widetilde{\mathbf{A}}$ and $D$ are invertible with…
We present a novel conjecture concerning the additive representation of natural numbers using prime powers. Based on extensive computational verification, we conjecture that every integer n > 23 can be expressed as a sum of at most five…
We obtain an asymptotic formula on the Odlyzko-Stanley enumeration problem. Let $N_m^*(k,b)$ be the number of $k$-subsets $S\subseteq F_p^*$ such that $\sum_{x\in S}x^m=b$. If $m<p^{1-\delta}$, then there is a constant…
