In this paper, we obtain some formulae for harmonic sums, alternating harmonic sums and Stirling number sums by using the method of integral representations of series. As applications of these formulae, we give explicit formula of several…
The goal of this paper is threefold. First, we describe the notion of dissociation for closed subgroups of the group of permutations on a countably infinite set and explain its numerous consequences on unitary representations…
We derive a method for finding Lie Symmetries for third-order difference equations. We use these symmetries to reduce the order of the difference equations and hence obtain the solutions of some third-order difference equations. We also…
Inspired by the work about solutions of a system of real polynomial equations done by Hermite, this paper introduces a Hermitian form, which encodes information about solutions of a system of complex polynomial equations with conjugate…
Let $\sum_{d|n}$ denote sum over divisors of a positive integer $n$, and $t_{r}(n)$ denote the number of representations of $n$ as a sum of $r$ triangular numbers. Then we prove that $$…
In the framework of generalized Oppenheim expansions we prove strong law of large numbers for lightly trimmed sums. In the first part of this work we identify a particular class of expansions for which we provide a convergence result…
A summation framework is developed that enhances Karr's difference field approach. It covers not only indefinite nested sums and products in terms of transcendental extensions, but it can treat, e.g., nested products defined over roots of…
Utilizing spectral residues of parameterized, recursively defined sequences, we develop a general method for generating identities of composition sums. Specific results are obtained by focusing on coefficient sequences of solutions of first…
We extend a law of the single logarithm for delayed sums by Lai to delayed sums of random fields. A law for subsequences, which also includes the one-dimensional case, is obtained in passing.
We use new bounds of double exponential sums with ratios of integers from prescribed intervals to get an asymptotic formula for the number of solutions to congruences $$ \sum_{j=1}^n a_j x_jy_j^{-1} \equiv a_0 \pmod p, $$ with variables…
We establish a strong law of large numbers under intermediate trimming for a particular example of Birkhoff sums of a non-integrable observable over the doubling map. It has been shown in a previous work by Haynes that there is no strong…
The lambda-dilate of a set A is lambda*A={lambda a : a \in A}. We give an asymptotically sharp lower bound on the size of sumsets of the form lambda_1*A+...+lambda_k*A for arbitrary integers lambda_1,...,lambda_k and integer sets A. We also…
We prove recursive formulas for sums of squares and sums of triangular numbers in terms of sums of divisors functions and we give a variety of consequences of these formulas. Intermediate applications include statements about positivity of…
We show how the recent improvement of the Hermite-Hadamard inequality can be applied to some (not necessarily convex) planar figures and three-dimensional bodies satisfying some kind of regularity.
In the literature, we have various ways of proving irrationality of a real number. In this survey article, we shall emphasize on a particular criterion to prove irrationality. This is called nice approximation of a number by a sequence of…
We study generalized sums of linear orders. These are binary operations that, given linear orders $A$ and $B$, return an order $A \oplus B$ that can be decomposed as an isomorphic copy of $A$ interleaved with a copy of $B$. We show that…
We prove that a certain family of sums of products of three binomials has alternating behavior modulo a prime $p$. To accomplish this we rewrite these sums as signed sums of products of three binomials, the better to handle $p$, and we give…
This paper introduces the order-theoretic concept of lattices along with the concept of consistent quantification where lattice elements are mapped to real numbers in such a way that preserves some aspect of the order-theoretic structure.…
We unify Linear Algebra by proposing a definition of determinants via one equation that implies all known properties of them:\\ 1. Cramer's Rule,\\ 2. Cofactor expansion,\\ 3. Antisymmetry of determinants,\\ 4. Linearity of determinants,\\…
The ordinal sum construction provides a very effective way to generate a new triangular norm on the real unit interval from existing ones. One of the most prominent theorems concerning the ordinal sum of triangular norms on the real unit…
