For the function $f(m,p,q,n)$, where $k,s,a$ general complex numbers and $q$ any positive integer, we establish the sum of values of the Hurwitz-Lerch zeta function $\Phi(f(m,p,q,n),k,a)$ taken at prime numbers $n$. Special cases of this…

A nonzero rational number is called a cube sum if it is of form $a^3+b^3$ with $a,b\in \mathbb{Q}^\times$. In this paper, we prove that for any odd integer $k\geq 1$, there exist infinitely many cube-free odd integers $n$ with exactly $k$…

We extend the Faulhaber formula to the whole complex plane, obtaining an expression that fully resembles the Euler-Maclaurin summation formula, only it's exact. Thereafter, an expression for the generalized harmonic progressions valid in…

This paper presents new formulae for the harmonic numbers of order $k$, $H_{k}(n)$, and for the partial sums of two Fourier series associated with them, denoted here by $C^m_{k}(n)$ and $S^m_{k}(n)$. I believe this new formula for…

We establish that almost every positive integer $n$ is the sum of four cubes, two of which are at most $n^{\theta}$, as long as $\theta\geq192/869$. An asymptotic formula for the number of such representations is established when…

We prove that a positive integer not of the form, 4^{k}(8m+7) can be expressible as a sum of three or fewer squares by using some results of Kane and Sun on mixed sums of squares and triangular numbers.

The Riemann zeta identity at even integers of Lettington, along with his other Bernoulli and zeta relations, are generalized. Other corresponding recurrences and determinant relations are illustrated. Another consequence is the application…

For $k\leq n$, let $E(mn,k)$ be the sum of all multiple zeta values of depth $k$ and weight $mn$ with arguments are multiples of $m\geq 2$. More precisely, $E(mn,k)=\sum_{|\boldsymbol{\alpha}|=n}\zeta(m\alpha_1,m\alpha_2,\ldots,…

For a fixed integer $k \ge 0$, consider representations of positive integers as sums of binomial coefficients of the form $\binom{n}{k}$. While exact minimal bounds for the number of required summands are known only in a few low-dimensional…

In 1888, Hilbert proved that every non-negative quartic form f=f(x,y,z) with real coefficients is a sum of three squares of quadratic forms. His proof was ahead of its time and used advanced methods from topology and algebraic geometry. Up…
