Slowly convergent or divergent sequences and series occur abundantly in quantum physics and quantum chemistry. These convergence problems can be overcome with the help of nonlinear sequence transformations (Wynn's epsilon or rho algorithm,…
We describe an effective method for calculating certain infinite sums, generalizations of the classical Bernoulli polynomials. As shown by Edward Witten in his papers on two-dimensional gauge theories, the correlation functions of…
We present algorithms to evaluate two types of multiple sums, which appear in higher-order loop computations. We consider expansions of a generalized hypergeometric-type sums, $\sum_{n_1,...,n_N} [Gamma(a1.n+c1) Gamma(a2.n}+c2) ...…
In this brief note, we show how to apply Kummer's and other quadratic transformation formulas for Gauss' and generalized hypergeometric functions in order to obtain transformation and summation formulas for series with harmonic numbers that…
I present a novel mathematical technique for dealing with the infinities arising from divergent sums and integrals. It assigns them fine-grained infinite values from the set of hyperreal numbers in a manner that refines the standard…
Complex-valued functions defined on a finite interval $[a,b]$ generalizing power functions of the type $(x-x_0)^n$ for $n\geq 0$ are studied. These functions called $\Phi$-generalized powers, $\Phi$ being a given nonzero complex-valued…
The article addresses the problem whether indefinite double sums involving a generic sequence can be simplified in terms of indefinite single sums. Depending on the structure of the double sum, the proposed summation machinery may provide…

Mathematical functions, which often appear in mathematical analysis, are referred to as special functions and have been studied over hundreds of years. Many books and dictionaries are available that describe their properties and serve as a…
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)}…
This is a discussion of miscellaneous summation, integration and transformation formulas obtained using Fourier analysis. The topics covered are: Series of the form $\sum_{n\in\mathbb{Z}} c_ne^{\pi i \gamma n^2}$; Fusion of integrals, and…
In this note, we study the flint hills series of the form \begin{align} \sum \limits_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{(\sin^2n) n^3}\nonumber \end{align} via a certain method. The method essentially works by erecting certain pillars sufficiently…
The integrals $\threej{\Llo}{\Llt}{\Llth} {0}{0}{0}\,\int_0^\infty \,r^{\Llth+1}\,e^{-\alpha r}\,j_\Llo(k_1r)\, j_\Llt(k_2r)\,dr$ and $\threej{\Llo}{\Llt}{\Llth} {0}{0}{0}\,\int_0^\infty \,r^{\Llth+2}\,e^{-\alpha r}\,j_\Llo(k_1r)\,…

Dirichlet's $L$-functions are natural extensions of the Riemann zeta function. In this paper we first give a brief survey of Ap\'ery-like series for some special values of the zeta function and certain $L$-functions. Then, we establish two…
This paper is concerned with finite sequences of integers that may be written as sums of squares of two nonzero integers. We first find infinitely many integers $n$ such that $n, n+h$ and $n+k$ are all sums of two squares where $h$ and $k$…
