We study the Borwein--Bailey--Girgensohn sinusoidal series S_BBG = sum_{n=1}^\infty (1/n) * ((2+sin n)/3)^n, originally posed as an open problem by Borwein, Bailey, and Girgensohn, whose convergence was established by Boppana using the…

For a positive irrational number $\alpha,$ we study the ordinary Dirichlet series $\zeta_\alpha(s) = \sum\limits_{n\geq1} \lfloor\alpha n\rfloor^{-s}$ and $S_\alpha(s) = \sum\limits_{n\geq1} (\left\lceil\alpha n\right\rceil - \left\lceil…

We introduce a theory of probabilistic renormalization for series, the renormalized values being encoded in the expectation of a certain random variable on the set of natural numbers. We identify a large class of weakly renormalizable…

In this paper, we prove two related central binomial series identities: $B(4)=\sum_{n \geq 0} \frac{\binom{2n}n}{2^{4n}(2n+1)^3}=\frac{7 \pi^3}{216}$ and $C(4)=\sum_{n \in \mathbb{N}} \frac{1}{n^4 \binom{2n}n}=\frac{17 \pi^4}{3240}.$ Both…

We study continued logarithms as introduced by Bill Gosper and studied by J. Borwein et. al.. After providing an overview of the type I and type II generalizations of binary continued logarithms introduced by Borwein et. al., we focus on a…

Given an irrational number $\alpha\in(0,1)$, the Sudler product is defined by $P_N(\alpha) = \prod_{r=1}^{N}2|\sin\pi r\alpha|$. Answering a question of Grepstad, Kaltenb\"ock and Neum\"uller we prove an asymptotic formula for distorted…

Let K/Q be Galois, and let eta in K* whose conjugates are multiplicatively independent. For a prime p, unramified, prime to eta, let np be the residue degree of p and gp the number of P I p, then let o\_P(eta) and o\_p(eta) be the orders of…

Let $N$ be a finitely generated nilpotent group. The subgroup zeta function $\zeta_N^{\leq}(s)$ and the normal zeta function $\zeta_N^\lhd(s)$ of $N$ are Dirichlet series enumerating the finite index subgroups or the finite index normal…

We show for even positive integers $n$ that the quotient of the Riemann zeta values $\zeta(n+1)$ and $\zeta(n)$ satisfies the equation $$\frac{\zeta(n+1)}{\zeta(n)} = (1-\frac{1}{n}) (1-\frac{1}{2^{n+1}-1})…

We provide an explicit formula for the Tornheim double series in terms of integrals involving the Hurwitz zeta function. We also study the limit when the parameters of the Tornheim sum become natural numbers, and show that in that case it…

Linear harmonic number sums had been studied by a variety of authors during the last centuries, but only few results are known about nonlinear Euler sums of quadratic or even higher degree. The first systematic study on nonlinear Euler sums…

This monograph is intended to be considered as my habilitation (D.Sc.) thesis; because of that and as everything has already appeared in English, it is performed exclusively in Russian. The monograph comprises a detailed introduction and…

Ratios of D-finite sequences and their limits -- known as Ap\'ery limits -- have driven much of the work on irrationality proofs since Ap\'ery's 1979 breakthrough proof of the irrationality of $\zeta(3)$. We extend ratios of D-finite…

The notion of Rees product of posets was introduced by Bj\"orner and Welker, where they study connections between poset topology and commutative algebra. Bj\"orner and Welker conjectured and Jonsson proved that the dimension of the top…

A simplification of Ap\'ery's proof of the irrationality of \zeta(3) is presented. The construction of approximations is motivated from the viewpoint of 2-dimensional recurrence relations which simplifies many of the details of the proof.…

For a given real number $a$ we define the sequence $\{E_{n,a}\}$ by $E_{0,a}=1$ and $E_{n,a}=-a\sum_{k=1}^{[n/2]} \binom n{2k}E_{n-2k,a}$ $(n\ge 1)$, where $[x]$ is the greatest integer not exceeding $x$. Since $E_{n,1}=E_n$ is the n-th…

One of the most natural and challenging issues in discrete complex analysis is to prove the convergence of discrete holomorphic functions to their continuous counterparts. This article is to solve the open problem in the general setting. To…

Let $E(z,s)$ be the non-holomorphic Eisenstein series for the modular group $SL(2,{\mathbb Z})$. The classical Kronecker limit formula shows that the second term in the Laurent expansion at $s=1$ of $E(z,s)$ is essentially the logarithm of…

The purpose of the present paper is to study the number theoretic properties of the special values of the spectral zeta functions of the non-commutative harmonic oscillator (NcHO), especially in relation to modular forms and elliptic curves…

In this paper we study that the $q$-Euler numbers and polynomials are analytically continued to $E_q(s)$. A new formula for the Euler's $q$-Zeta function $\zeta_{E,q}(s)$ in terms of nested series of $\zeta_{E,q}(n)$ is derived. Finally we…
