A representation of divisor function $\tau(n)\equiv \sigma_{0}(n)$ by means of logarithmic residue of a function of complex variable is suggested. This representation may be useful theoretical instrument for further investigations of…

This thesis is intended to provide an account of the theory and applications of Operational Methods that allow the "translation" of the theory of special functions and polynomials into a "different" mathematical language. The language we…

In this paper, we compute the $q$-adic slopes of the L-functions of an important class of exponential sums arising from analytic number theory. Our main tools include Adolphson-Sperber's work on toric exponential sums and Wan's…

Motivated by an application of semigroup variants to the discrete log problem in groups and related cryptographic applications, we introduce a new kind of totient function, related to both Euler's function and a generalisation of Euler's…

We present a rational version of the classical Landen transformation for elliptic integrals. This is employed to obtain explicit closed-form expressions for a large class of integrals of even rational functions and to develop an algorithm…

Let us denote by $\tau(n)$ and $\si(n)$ the number and the sum of the divisors of $n$ and by $\vfi$ Euler's function. We give effective upper bounds for $\frac{n}{\vfi(n)}$ in terms of $\vfi(n)$, and for $\frac{\si(n)}{n}$ in terms of…

A variety of problems emerged investigating electronic circuits, computer devices and cellular automata motivated a number of attempts to create a differential and integral calculus for Boolean functions. In the present article, we extend…

We extend the theory of Euler integration from the class of constructible functions to that of "tame" real-valued functions (definable with respect to an o-minimal structure). The corresponding integral operator has some unusual defects (it…

In a recent paper, Adamchik [V.S. Adamchik, On the Hurwitz function for rational arguments, Appl. Math. Comp. 187 (2007) 3--12] expressed in a closed form symbolic derivatives of four functions belonging to the class of functions whose…

In this paper we develop a theory of class invariants associated to $p$-adic representations of absolute Galois groups of number fields. Our main tool for doing this involves a new way of describing certain Selmer groups attached to…

Integro-differential methods, currently exploited in calculus, provide an inexhaustible source of tools to be applied to a wide class of problems, involving the theory of special functions and other subjects. The use of integral transforms…

We evaluate in closed form series of the type $\sum u(n) R(n)$, where $(u(n))_n$ is a strongly $B$-multiplicative sequence and $R(n)$ a (well-chosen) rational function. A typical example is: $$ \sum_{n \geq 1} (-1)^{s_2(n)}…

We consider the space of convex functions defined in the Euclidean $n$-dimensional space, which are lower semi-continuous and tend to infinity at infinity. We study real-valued valuations defined on this space of functions, which are…

This paper derives a way to express differentiable complex-valued functions as the sum of powers of $(1-e^{\lambda x})$, where $\lambda\in\mathbb{R}$, with an explicit formula for the remainder. This formulation is then used to associate an…

Using results from theory of operators on a Hilbert space, we prove approximation results for matrix-valued holomorphic functions on the unit disc and the unit bidisc. The essential tools are the theory of unitary dilation of a contraction…
