The Minkowski question mark function ?(x) arises as a real distribution of rationals in the Farey tree. We examine the generating function of moments of ?(x). It appears that the generating function is a direct dyadic analogue of period…

In this paper, we present series representations of the remainders in the expansions for $2/(e^t+1)$, $\mbox{sech} t$ and $\coth t$. For example, we prove that for $t > 0$ and $N\in\mathbb{N}:=\{1, 2, \ldots\}$, \[\mbox{sech}\,…

Let $A_i$ and $B_i$ be positive definite matrices for every $i=1,\cdots,m.$ Let $Z=[Z_{ij}]$ be the block matrix, where $Z_{ij}=B_i^{^\frac{1}{_2}}\left(\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^mA_k\right)B_j^{^\frac{1}{_2}}$ for every $ i,j=~1,\cdots,m$.…

Let $M_{n,r}=(\sum_{i=1}^{n}q_ix_i^r)^{\frac {1}{r}}, r\neq 0$ and $M_{n,0}=\displaystyle \lim_{r \rightarrow 0}M_{n,r}$ be the weighted power means of $n$ non-negative numbers $x_i, 1 \leq i \leq n$ with $q_i > 0$ satisfying…

We show the following version of the Schur's product theorem. If $M=(M_{j,k})_{j,k=1}^n\in{\mathbb R}^{n\times n}$ is a positive semidefinite matrix with all entries on the diagonal equal to one, then the matrix $N=(N_{j,k})_{j,k=1}^n$ with…

We consider a Markov chain $\{X_n\}_{n=0}^\8$ on $\R^d$ defined by the stochastic recursion $X_{n}=M_n X_{n-1}+Q_n$, where $(Q_n,M_n)$ are i.i.d. random variables taking values in the affine group $H=\R^d\rtimes {\rm GL}(\R^d)$. Assume that…

In this paper we obtain a new curious identity involving trigonometric functions. Namely, for any positive odd integer $n$ we prove that $$\sum_{k=1}^n(-1)^k(\cot kx)\sin k(n-k)x=\frac{1-n}2,$$ which is equivalent to the identity…

Let $k\geq 2$ be a positive integer. We study concentration results for the ordered representation functions $r^{\leq}_k(A,n) = \# \big\{ (a_1 \leq \dots \leq a_k) \in A^k : a_1+\dots+a_k = n \big\}$ and $r^{<}_k(A,n) = \# \big\{ (a_1 <…

We verify the conjecture that the sixth binary partition function is equal (aside from the initial zero term) to the partial sums of the Stern-Brocot sequence.

In this paper, we study some supercongruences involving the sequence $$ t_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom{n}{k}\binom{x}{k}\binom{x+k}{k}2^k $$ and solve some open problems. For any odd prime $p$ and $p$-adic integer $x$, we determine…

In this paper, we generalize the Bohr-Rogosinski sum for the Ma-Minda classes of starlike and convex functions. Also the phenomenon is studied for the classes of starlike functions with respect to symmetric points and conjugate points along…

Hermann Minkowski introduced a function in 1904 which maps quadratic irrational numbers to rational numbers and this function is now known as Minkowski's question mark function since Minkowski used the notation $?(x)$. This function is a…

Let $n,m$ be positive integers and $c \in \mathbb{Z}_n$, where $\mathbb{Z}_n$ is the ring of integers modulo $n$. We almost complete providing the answer to the following problem, partially solved by N. Alon. Does any infinite sequence over…

We present the recent JLab measurements on moments of spin structure functions at intermediate and low Q^2. The Bjorken sum and Burkhardt-Cottingham sum on the neutron are presented. The later appears to hold. Higher moments (generalized…

We study two new classes of sums with inverse binomial coefficients and harmonic numbers. In addition we establish recursive solutions to the following power sums \begin{equation*} U_d(n) = \sum_{k=1}^n \frac{2^{2k}}{\binom{2k}{k}} \cdot…

This paper is concerned about the inverse coefficient problems of variable-coefficient fractional Schr\"{o}dinger equations with drift on connected closed Riemannian manifolds. We prove that the knowledge of the underlying equation of order…

For a nonzero integer $a$ let ${E_n^{(a)}}$ be given by $\sum_{k=0}^{[n/2]}\binom n{2k}a^{2k}E_{n-2k}^{(a)}=(1-a)^n$ $(n=0,1,2,...)$, where $[x]$ is the greatest integer not exceeding $x$. As $E_n^{(1)}=E_n$ is the Euler number, $E_n^{(a)}$…

We prove that the Birkhoff sum S(n)/n = (1/n) sum_(k=1)^(n-1) g(k A) with g(x) = cot(Pi x) and golden ratio A converges in the sense that the sequence of functions s(x) = S([ x q(2n)])/q(2n) with Fibonacci numbers q(n) converges to a self…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, Jianqiang Zhao has established a curious congruence, which is $$ \sum_{i+j+k=p \atop i,j,k > 0} \frac{1}{ijk} \equiv -2B_{p-3}\pmod p , $$ where $B_{n}$ denotes the $n$-th Bernoulli number. In this paper, we will…
