It is shown that the first $n$ prime numbers $p_1,...,p_n$ determine the next one by the recursion equation $$ p_{n+1} =\lim\limits_{s\to +\infty} [\prod\limits^n_{k=1} (1-\frac{1}{p^s_k}) \sum\limits^\infty_{j=1} \frac{1}{j^s} -1]^{-1/s}.…
For integer $k \geq 0$, let $S_k$ denote the sum of the $k$th powers of the first $n$ positive integers $1^k + 2^k + \cdots + n^k$. For any given $k$, the power sum $S_k$ can in principle be determined by differentiating $k$ times (with…
An overlooked formula of E. Lucas for the generalized Bernoulli numbers is proved using generating functions. This is then used to provide a new proof and a new form of a sum involving classical Bernoulli numbers studied by K. Dilcher. The…
Consider the full modular group $\sf{PSL}_{2}(\mathbb{Z})$ with presentation $\langle U,S|U^3,S^2\rangle$. Motivated by our investigations on quasi-modular forms and the Minkowski question mark function (so that this paper might be…
Kitaev, Liese, Remmel, and Sagan recently defined generalized factor order on words comprised of letters from a partially ordered set $(P, \leq_P)$ by setting $u \leq_P w$ if there is a subword $v$ of $w$ of the same length as $u$ such that…
Let $F_{k,d}(n)$ be the maximal size of a set ${A}\subseteq [n]$ such that the equation \[a_1a_2\dots a_k=x^d, \; a_1<a_2<\ldots<a_k\] has no solution with $a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_k\in {A}$ and integer $x$. Erd\H{o}s, S\'ark\"ozy and T. S\'os…
This paper introduces and studies a generalization of the $\mathtt{k}$-Bessel function of order $\nu$ given by \[\mathtt{W}^{\mathtt{k}}_{\nu, c}(x):= \sum_{r=0}^\infty \frac{(-c)^r}{\Gamma_{\mathtt{k}}\left( r \mathtt{k}…
We prove closed-form identities for the sequence of moments $\int t^{2n}|\Gamma(s)\zeta(s)|^2dt$ on the whole critical line $s=1/2+it$. They are finite sums involving binomial coefficients, Bernoulli numbers, Stirling numbers and $\pi$,…
The famous Prouhet-Tarry-Escott problem seeks collections of mutually disjoint sets of non-negative integers having equal sums of like powers. In this paper we present a new proof of the solution to this problem by deriving a generalization…
We study the joint probability generating function for $k$ occupancy numbers on disjoint intervals in the Bessel point process. This generating function can be expressed as a Fredholm determinant. We obtain an expression for it in terms of…
Congruences modulo prime powers involving generalized Harmonic numbers are known. While looking for similar congruences, we have encountered a curious triangular array of numbers indexed with positive integers $n,k$, involving the Bernoulli…
In this work, we systematically derive explicit expressions for the Poincar\'e Group generators on arbitrary-rank tensors and spinor-tensors in $D=3+1$ and $D=2+1$ spacetimes, thus generalizing previous works in the literature for the…
We formulate the generalized Sarnak's M\"obius disjointness conjecture for an arbitrary number field $K$, and prove a quantitative disjointness result between polynomial nilsequences $(\Phi(g(n)\Gamma))_{n\in\mathbb{Z}^{D}}$ and aperiodic…
Let $2s$ points $y_i=-\pi\le y_{2s}<\ldots<y_1<\pi$ be given. Using these points, we define the points $y_i$ for all integer indices $i$ by the equality $y_i=y_{i+2s}+2\pi$. We shall write $f\in\bigtriangleup^{(1)}(Y)$ if $f$ is a…
We construct explicit solutions of a number of Stieltjes moment problems based on moments of the form ${\rho}_{1}^{(r)}(n)=(2rn)!$ and ${\rho}_{2}^{(r)}(n)=[(rn)!]^{2}$, $r=1,2,...$, $n=0,1,2,...$, \textit{i.e.} we find functions…
In this paper we find closed form for the generating function of powers of any non-degenerate second-order recurrence sequence, completing a study begun by Carlitz and Riordan in 1962. Moreover, we generalize a theorem of Horadam on partial…
We investigate the diagonal generating function of the Jacobi-Stirling numbers of the second kind $ \JS(n+k,n;z)$ by generalizing the analogous results for the Stirling and Legendre-Stirling numbers. More precisely, letting…
In this paper, we prove the Fourth Moment Theorem for sequences of (noncommutative) random variables given as sums of two stochastic integrals in two different parity orders of chaos, both in the free Wigner chaos setting and a $q$-Gaussian…

In this paper we establish an estimate for the rate of convergence of the Krasnosel'ski\v{\i}-Mann iteration for computing fixed points of non-expansive maps. Our main result settles the Baillon-Bruck conjecture [3] on the asymptotic…
