We give a simple proof for the reciprocity formulas of character Dedekind sums associated with two primitive characters, whose modulus need not to be same, by utilizing the character analogue of the Euler-MacLaurin summation formula.…

The ternary Goldbach conjecture, or three-primes problem, asserts that every odd integer $n$ greater than $5$ is the sum of three primes. The present paper proves this conjecture. Both the ternary Goldbach conjecture and the binary, or…

First, we consider the equation $ax^2 - by^2 + c = 0$, with $a,b \in N*$ and $c \in Z*$, which is a generalization of Pell's equation. Here, we show that: if this equation has an integer solution and $ab$ is not a perfect square, then it…

We study the inverse problem of recovering the order and the diffusion coefficient of an elliptic fractional partial differential equation from a finite number of noisy observations of the solution. We work in a Bayesian framework and show…

A new strategy based on numerical homogenization and Bayesian techniques for solving multiscale inverse problems is introduced. We consider a class of elliptic problems which vary at a microscopic scale, and we aim at recovering the highly…

In this paper, we study the reciprocal sums of the Jacobsthal numbers. We establish many results on the infinite sum and alternating infinite sum of the reciprocals of Jacobsthal numbers and square Jacobsthal numbers.

We generalize the derivation of the Wallis formula for $\pi$ from a variational computation of the spectrum of the Hydrogen atom. We obtain infinite product formulas for certain combinations of gamma functions, which include irrational…

In the classical sense, the set B consists of all integers which can be written as a sum of two perfect squares. In other words, these are the values attained by norms of integral ideals over the Gaussian field Q(i). G.J. Rieger (1965) and…

This paper is concerned with the forward and inverse problems for the fractional semilinear elliptic equation $(-\Delta)^s u +a(x,u)=0$ for $0<s<1$. For the forward problem, we proved the problem is well-posed and has a unique solution for…

Alt's problem, formulated in 1923, is to count the number of four-bar linkages whose coupler curve interpolates nine general points in the plane. This problem can be phrased as counting the number of solutions to a system of polynomial…

Euler gives a long introduction, giving all the arguments for and against the use of divergent series in calculus and then gives his own definition of the sum of a diverging series. Then in the second half of this paper he evaluates the the…

By simple elementary method,we obtain with ease,a highly simple expression for the remainder term of the divisor problem and use it to obtain an Euler-Maclaurin analogue of summation involving divisor function.We also obtain a relation…

Tarski's Circle Squaring Problem from 1925 asks whether it is possible to partition a disk in the plane into finitely many pieces and reassemble them via isometries to yield a partition of a square of the same area. It was finally resolved…

Dedekind sums are arithmetic sums that were first introduced by Dedekind in the context of elliptic functions and modular forms, and later recognized to be surprisingly ubiquitous. Among the variations and generalizations introduced since,…

We list some explicit calculations related to a theorem of Clausen originally published in 1828, more commonly known as the result that describes the linear third order differential equation satisfied by the squares and the product of any…

The Lamb-Bateman integral equation was introduced to study the solitary wave diffraction and its solution was written in terms of an integral transform. We prove that it is essentially the Abel integral equation and its solution can be…

In number theory, the Erdos-Straus conjecture states that for all n >=2, the rational number 4/n can be expressed as the sum of three unit fractions. Paul Erdos and Ernst G. Straus formulated the conjecture in 1948. The restriction that the…

Let $B_1$ be the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^N$ with $N \geq 2$. Let $f\in C^1([0, \infty), \mathbb{R})$, $f(0)=0$, $f(\beta) = \beta, \ f(s)<s\ \text{for}\ s\in (0,\beta), \ f(s)>s\ \text{for}\ s\in (\beta, \infty)$ and…

The central binomial series at negative integers are expressed as a linear combination of values of certain two polynomials. We show that one of the polynomials is a special value of the bivariate Eulerian polynomial and the other…

We present several results related to statistics for elliptic curves over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ as corollaries of a general theorem about averages of Euler products that we demonstrate. In this general framework, we can reprove…
