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…
Exponential sums with monomials are highly related to many interesting problems in number theory and well studied by many literatures. In this paper, we consider the exponential sums with polynomials and prove a new upper bound. As an…
We evaluate some types of infinite series with balancing and Lucas-balancing polynomials in closed form. These evaluations will lead to some new curious series for $\pi$ involving Fibonacci and Lucas numbers. Our findings complement those…
This paper presents both a method and a result. The result presents a closed formula for the sum of the first $m+1,m \ge 0,$ squares of the sequence $F^{(k)}$ where each member is the sum of the previous $k$ members and with initial…
The pursuit of closed forms for infinite series has long been a focal point of research. In this paper, we contribute to this endeavor by presenting closed forms for the class of digamma series: \[\sum_{k=1}^\infty…
This is the first in a series of three papers dealing with sums of squares and hypoellipticity in the infinite regime. We give a sharp sufficient condition on a smooth nonnegative function f on n-dimensional Euclidean space so that it can…
We derive some new finite sums involving the sequence $s_{2}\left(n\right),$ the sum of digits of the expansion of $n$ in base $2.$ These functions allow us to generalize some classical results obtained by Allouche, Shallit and others.
We present a common ground for infinite sums, unordered sums, Riemann/Lebesgue integrals, arc length and some generalized means. It is based on extending functions on finite sets using Hausdorff metric in a natural way.
We retrace the recent history of the Umbral Calculus. After studying the classic results concerning polynomial sequences of binomial type, we generalize to a certain type of logarithmic series. Finally, we demonstrate numerous typical…
We solve an elementary number theory problem on sums of fractional parts, using methods from group theory. We apply our result to deduce the finiteness of certain monodromy representations.
We perform certain alternating binomial summations with parameters that occur in the analysis of algorithms. A combination of integral and special function and special number representations is used. The results are sufficiently general to…
In part 1 of this paper some linear weighted generalized Fibonacci number summation identities were derived using the fact that the Fibonacci number is the residue of a rational function. In this part, using the same method, some quadratic…
In this paper, we investigated properties of Tribonacci-Lucas polynomials which generalized Tribonacci-Lucas numbers. From this generalization, we also obtain some new algebraic properties on these numbers and polynomials as Binet formula,…
Power series in which the summand satisfies a linear recurrence relation with polynomial coefficients are shown to be the solution of a linear differential or algebraic equation. Solving the associated differential or algebraic equation…
This paper introduces a variation on an identity by Bruckman and Good. Using this identity, we are able to derive various well-known sums involving reciprocals of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, including the case when the indices form an…
We study the Dirichlet series $F_b(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty d_b(n)n^{-s}$, where $d_b(n)$ is the sum of the base-$b$ digits of the integer $n$, and $G_b(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty S_b(n)n^{-s}$, where $S_b(n)=\sum_{m=1}^{n-1}d_b(m)$ is the summatory…
This note gives a few rapidly convergent series representations of the sums of divisors functions. These series have various applications such as exact evaluations of some power series, computing estimates and proving the existence results…
We consider two sequences $a(n)$ and $b(n)$, $1\leq n<\infty$, generated by Dirichlet series of the forms $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{a(n)}{\lambda_n^{s}}\qquad\text{and}\qquad \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{b(n)}{\mu_n^{s}},$$ satisfying a…
We investigate the behavior of sequences $(f(c_nx))$ for Lebesgue integrable functions $f:\mathbb R^d\to\mathbb R$. In particular, we give a~description of classes of multipliers $(c_n)$ and $(d_n)$ such that $f(c_nx)\to0$ or…
In this note we associate a sequence of non-negative integers to any convergent series of positive real numbers and study this sequence for the series $\sum_{n \geq 1} n^{-k}$ where $k$ is an integer $\geq 2$.
