In this paper, we evaluate in closed form several different series involving the harmonic numbers and skew-harmonic numbers. We consider two classes of series involving these sequences. One class of series involves the product of the $n$th…
Symmetric elliptic integrals, which have been used as replacements for Legendre's integrals in recent integral tables and computer codes, are homogeneous functions of three or four variables. When some of the variables are much larger than…
The aim of the present article is to explore the possibilities of representing positive integers as sums of other positive integers and highlight certain fundamental connections between their multiplicative and additive properties. In…
The arithmetic of natural numbers has a natural and simple encoding within sets, and the simplest set whose structure is not that of any natural number extends this set-theoretic representation to positive and negative integers. The…
For each positive integer n greater than or equal to 2, a new approach to expressing real numbers as sequences of nonnegative integers is given. The n=2 case is equivalent to the standard continued fraction algorithm. For n=3, it reduces to…
This paper investigates a variant of the famous "happy numbers" sequence, given by A351327 on the oeis. First of all we'll define this integer sequence, and then we'll show some important results about it; in particular we conjectured that…
According to a popular belief, the decimal digits of mathematical constants such as {\pi} behave like statistically independent random variables, each taking the values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 with equal probability of 1/10. If…
For every nonzero integer $m$ and every integer $n \ge 1$, the $n$\textsuperscript{th} harmonic number $H_n = 1 + \tfrac12 + \dots + \tfrac1n$ satisfies the identity \[ H_n \;=\; \frac{1}{m}\,\sum_{k=1}^{n} \frac{(-1)^{k+1}}{k}\, \binom{m…
We present explicit formulas for the following family of parametric binomial sums involving harmonic numbers for $p=0,1,2$ and $|t|\leq1$. $$ \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{H_{k-1}t^k}{k^p\binom{n+k}{k}}\quad \mbox{and}\quad…
In this paper, we discuss the associated family of harmonic maps $\mathcal{F}: M \rightarrow G/K$ from a Riemann surface $M$ into inner symmetric spaces of compact or non-compact type which are either algebraic or totally symmetric. These…
Recently, the degenerate harmonic and the degenerate hyperharmonic numbers are introduced respectively as degenerate versions of the harmonic and the hyperharmonic numbers. The aim of this paper is to introduce the degenerate…
Recently, Chen, Hou and Jin used both Abel's lemma on summation by parts and Zeilberger's algorithm to generate recurrence relations for definite summations. Meanwhile, they proposed the Abel-Gosper method to evaluate some indefinite sums…
The Hofstadter $H$ sequence is defined by $H(1) = 1$ and $H(n) = n-H(H(H(n-1)))$ for $n > 1$. If $\alpha$ is the real root of $x^3+x=1$ we show that the numbers $\alpha H(n) \mod 1$ are not uniformly distributed on $[0,1]$, but converge to…
In this article, we develop two types of asymptotic formulas for harmonic series in terms of single non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line. The series is obtained by evaluating the complex magnitude of an…
Ellipsephic or Kempner-like harmonic series are series of inverses of integers whose expansion in base $B$, for some $B \geq 2$, contains no occurrence of some fixed digit or some fixed block of digits. A prototypical example was proposed…
We introduce a natural definition for sums of the form \[ \sum_{\nu=1}^x f(\nu) \] when the number of terms x is a rather arbitrary real or even complex number. The resulting theory includes the known interpolation of the factorial by the…
It was proven in 1915 by Leopold Theisinger that the $H_n$ harmonic numbers are never integers. In 1996 Conway and Guy have defined the concept of hyperharmonic numbers. The question naturally arises: are there any integer hyperharmonic…

A complex harmonic polynomial is the sum of a complex polynomial and a conjugated complex polynomial, of degrees $n$ and $m$ respectively. Li and Wei (2009) presented a formula for the expected number of zeros of a random harmonic…
