Many real-world problems rely on finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix. The power iteration algorithm is a simple method for determining the largest eigenvalue and associated eigenvector of a general matrix. This algorithm relies…

We obtain several estimates for bilinear form with exponential sums with binomials $mx^k + nx^\ell$. In particular we show the existence of nontrivial cancellations between such sums when the coefficients $m$ and $n$ vary over rather sparse…

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…

We present several sequences of Euler sums involving odd harmonic numbers. The calculational technique is based on proper two-valued integer functions, which allow to compute these sequences explicitly in terms of zeta values only.

Let $\{B_n\}$, $\{B_n(x)\}$ and $\{E_n(x)\}$ be the Bernoulli numbers, Bernoulli polynomials and Euler polynomials, respectively. In this paper we mainly establish formulas for $\sum_{6\mid k-3}\binom nkB_{n-k}(x)$, $\sum_{6\mid k}\binom…

Using an elementary approach involving the Euler Beta function and the binomial theorem, we derive two polynomial identities; one of which is a generalization of a known polynomial identity. Two well-known combinatorial identities, namely…

Determination of linear combination of exponential functions with unknown rate constants from its sampled values is a problem of considerable interest. Here we present a constructive and explicit solution to this problem. Moments of such…

Let $p$ be a prime, and $N$ be a positive integer not divisible by $p$. Denote by ${\rm ord}_N(p)$ the multiplicative order of $p$ modulo $N$. Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ represent the finite field of order $q=p^{{\rm ord}_N(p)}$. For $a,…

In solar physics, especially in exploratory stages of research, it is often necessary to compare the power spectra of two or more time series. One may, for instance, wish to estimate what the power spectrum of the combined data sets might…

In this paper, we derive eight basic identities of symmetry in three variables related to $q$-Euler polynomials and the $q$-analogue of alternating power sums. These and most of their corollaries are new, since there have been results only…

In this article we obtain an explicit formula in terms of the partitions of the positive integer $n$ to express the $n$-th term of a wide class of sequences of numbers defined by recursion. Our proof is based only on arithmetics. We compare…

In this paper, we mainly show that generalized hyperharmonic number sums with reciprocal binomial coefficients can be expressed in terms of classical (alternating) Euler sums, zeta values and generalized (alternating) harmonic numbers.

Multiple harmonic-like numbers are studied using the generating function approach. A closed form is stated for binomial sums involving these numbers and two additional parameters. Several corollaries and examples are presented which are…

Many classical identities arise from nothing more mysterious than looking at the same object in two different ways. A number, a function, or a combinatorial object may admit several natural decompositions, and by disassembling it in one way…

The Stirling numbers of the first kind can be represented in terms of a new class of polynomials that are closely related to the Bernoulli polynomials. Recursion relations for these polynomials are given.

We consider nested sums involving the Pochhammer symbol at infinity and rewrite them in terms of a small set of constants, such as powers of $\pi,$ $\log(2)$ or zeta values. In order to perform these simplifications, we view the series as…
