We present a new method for approximating real-valued functions on ${\mathbb R}^+$ by linear combinations of exponential functions with complex coefficients. The approach is based on a multi-point Pad\'e approximation of the Laplace…

In this paper, we present new explicit simultaneous rational approximations converging sub-exponentially to the values of Bell polynomials at the points of the form $(\gamma, 1! (2a+1)\zeta(2), 2!\zeta(3),..., (m-1)!(a+1+(-1)^ma)\zeta(m)),$…

This article describes a sequence of rational functions which converges locally uniformly to the zeta function. The numerators (and denominators) of these rational functions can be expressed as characteristic polynomials of matrices that…

Exact representations of real numbers such as the signed digit representation or more generally linear fractional representations or the infinite Gray code represent real numbers as infinite streams of digits. In earlier work by the first…

We connect a primitive operation from arithmetic -- summing the digits of a base-$B$ integer -- to $q$-series and product generating functions analogous to those in partition theory. We find digit sum generating functions to be intertwined…

We consider the following "partition and sum" operation on a natural number: Treating the number as a long string of digits insert several plus signs in between some of the digits and carry out the indicated sum. This results in a smaller…

Given real numbers whose sum is an integer, we study the problem of finding integers which match these real numbers as closely as possible, in the sense of L^p norm, while preserving the sum. We describe the structure of solutions for this…

This work is motivated by a paper of Davenport and Schmidt, which treats the question of when Dirichlet's theorems on the rational approximation of one or of two irrationals can be improved and if so, by how much. We consider a…

We seek random versions of some classical theorems on complex approximation by polynomials and rational functions, as well as investigate properties of random compact sets in connection to complex approximation.

In this paper, we establish improved effective irrationality measures for certain numbers of the form $\sqrt[3]{n}$, using approximations obtained from hypergeometric functions. These results are very close to the best possible using this…

Power series representations for special functions are computationally satisfactory only in the vicinity of the expansion point. Thus, it is an obvious idea to use instead Pad\'{e} approximants or other rational functions constructed from…

We extend the results of our previous computer experiment performed on the first 2600 nontrivial zeros $\gamma_l$ of the Riemann zeta function calculated with 1000 digits accuracy to the set of 40000 first zeros given with 40000 decimal…

Let $b \geq 2$ be an integer and $S$ be a finite non-empty set of primes not containing divisors of $b$. For any non-dense set $A \subset [0,1)$ such that $A \cap \mathbb{Q}$ is invariant under $\times b$ operation, we prove the finiteness…

Real number calculations on elementary functions are remarkably difficult to handle in mechanical proofs. In this paper, we show how these calculations can be performed within a theorem prover or proof assistant in a convenient and highly…

For a positive integer $n$ and a real number $\xi$, let $\lambda_n (\xi)$ denote the supremum of the real numbers $\lambda$ for which there are arbitrarily large positive integers $q$ such that $|| q \xi ||, || q \xi^2 ||, \ldots , ||q…

We establish a new bound for the exponential sum \begin{eqnarray*} \sum_{x\in\mathcal{X}}\Big|\sum_{y\in \mathcal{Y}}\gamma(y)\exp(2\pi i a \lambda^{xy}/p)\Big|, \end{eqnarray*} where $\lambda$ is an element of the residue ring modulo a…

Let $\beta'+i\gamma'$ be a zero of $\zeta'(s)$. In \cite{GYi} Garaev and Y{\i}ld{\i}r{\i}m proved that there is a zero $\beta+i\gamma$ of $\zeta(s)$ with $ \gamma'-\gamma \ll \sqrt{|\beta'-1/2|} $. Assuming RH, we improve this bound by…

We study the problem of best approximations of a vector $\alpha\in{\mathbb R}^n$ by rational vectors of a lattice $\Lambda\subset {\mathbb R}^n$ whose common denominator is bounded. To this end we introduce successive minima for a periodic…

The following work is written in easy language for college level students. It shows how the first digit probabilities of a group of continuous real-valued functions can be calculated. Thus, examples explaining how the probabilities are…

We present a general framework in the setting of difference ring extensions that enables one to find improved representations of indefinite nested sums such that the arising denominators within the summands have reduced degrees. The…
