For positive integers $k$ and $n$ let $\sigma_k(n)$ denote the sum of the $k$th powers of the divisors of $n$. Erd\H{o}s and Kac asked whether, for every $k$, the number $\alpha_k = \sum_{n\geq 1} \frac{\sigma_k(n)}{n!}$ is irrational. It…

Proceeding the study of local properties of analytic functions started in [Br] we prove new dimensionless inequalities for such functions in terms of their Chebyshev degree. As a consequence, we obtain the reverse Holder inequalities for…

We give a survey of the use of infinitesimals within mathematical analysis to rigorously deal with the delta-function from physics, and more generally, with distributions in the sense of L. Schwartz. We use the framework of nonstandard…

The research in the subfield of analytic number theory around error term of summation of sigma functions possesses a history which can be dated back to the mid-19th century when Dirichlet provided an $O(\sqrt{n})$ estimation of error term…

Methods were initiated by Mark Kac and Richard Feynman to evaluate random functionals of the form $\int^t_0V(X_s)ds$ for a nonnegative $V$ and a Markov process $X_t$. Their results evolved into the well known Feynman Kac formula.…

We extend formulae of Mertens and Mirsky on the asymptotic behaviour of the standard Euler function to the Euler functions of principal rings of integers of imaginary quadratic number fields, giving versions in angular sector and with…

We study the probabilistic behaviour of the continued fraction expansion of a quadratic irrational number, when weighted by some "additive" cost. We prove asymptotic Gaussian limit laws, with an optimal speed of convergence. We deal with…

In this paper, we introduce the class of $(\beta,\gamma)$-Chebyshev functions and corresponding points, which can be seen as a family of {\it generalized} Chebyshev polynomials and points. For the $(\beta,\gamma)$-Chebyshev functions, we…

We illustrate how elementary information-theoretic ideas may be employed to provide proofs for well-known, nontrivial results in number theory. Specifically, we give an elementary and fairly short proof of the following asymptotic result:…

In this paper, we establish the irrationality of some open problems in mathematics based on using a recursive formula that generate the complete sequence of numbers. see [1] But before getting into that we begin with some Ramanujan notable…

Building upon ideas of the second and third authors, we prove that at least $2^{(1-\varepsilon)\frac{\log s}{\log\log s}}$ values of the Riemann zeta function at odd integers between 3 and $s$ are irrational, where $\varepsilon$ is any…

We continue the study of the space $BV^\alpha(\mathbb{R}^n)$ of functions with bounded fractional variation in $\mathbb{R}^n$ of order $\alpha\in(0,1)$ introduced in arXiv:1809.08575, by dealing with the asymptotic behaviour of the…

The discrete Chebyshev polynomials $t_n(x,N)$ are orthogonal with respect to a distribution, which is a step function with jumps one unit at the points $x=0,1,\cdots, N-1$, $N$ being a fixed positive integer. By using a double integral…

We establish a new asymptotic formula for the number of polynomials of degree $n$ with $k$ prime factors over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. The error term tends to $0$ uniformly in $n$ and in $q$, and $k$ can grow beyond $\log n$.…

We consider an estimation problem of expected functionals of a general random element that values in a metric space. If the functional forms an explicit function of some unknown parameters, we can estimate it by plugging-in a suitable…

We define an enumerative function F(n,k,P,m) which is a generalization of binomial coefficients. Special cases of this function are also power function, factorials, rising factorials and falling factorials. The first section of the paper is…

We consider three classes of linear differential equations on distribution functions, with a fractional order $\alpha\in [0,1].$ The integer case $\alpha =1$ corresponds to the three classical extreme families. In general, we show that…

In this paper we demonstrate that a well known linear inequality method developed for rational Chebyshev approximation is equivalent to the application of the bisection method used in quasiconvex optimisation. Although this correspondence…

In the book [Yu. Safarov and D. Vassiliev, The asymptotic distribution of eigenvalues of partial differential operators, Amer. Math. Soc., Providence, RI, 1997], a key and central ``algorithm'' was established, by which the coefficients of…
