A failed attempt to prove the universality of Lerch zeta function $L(\lambda,\alpha,s)$ when $\lambda$ is irrational and $\alpha$ is rational, and for any $\lambda$ when $\alpha$ is irrational algebraic.

We proved that difference function $\psi_\Theta-\psi_{\Theta'}$ for almost all pairs $\Theta$, $\Theta'$ in cases $m=1$, $n=2$ or $m\geqslant2$ and $n=1$ changes its sign infinity many times as $t\rightarrow+\infty$.

We show geometrically that $\sqrt n$ is irrational for $n=3,5,7$ by adapting Tennenbaum's geometric proof that $\sqrt 2$ is irrational. We also show that this method cannot be used to prove the irrationality of $\sqrt n$ for a bigger $n$.

We show the recurrence relations of the Euler-Zagier multiple zeta-function which describes the $r$-fold function with one variable specialized to a non-positive integer as a rational linear combination of $(r-1)$-fold functions, which…

In this article, we have studied transformation formulas of zeta function at odd integers over an arbitrary number field which in turn generalizes Ramanujan's identity for the Riemann zeta function. The above transformation leads to a new…

We consider the real number $\sigma$ with continued fraction expansion $[a_0, a_1, a_2,\ldots] = [1,2,1,4,1,2,1,8,1,2,1,4,1,2,1,16,\ldots]$, where $a_i$ is the largest power of $2$ dividing $i+1$. We compute the irrationality measure of…

Let $d_{\alpha, \beta}(n)=\sum\limits_{\substack{n=kl \alpha l<k\leq\beta l}}1$ be the number of ways of factoring n into two almost equal integers. For rational numbers $0<\alpha <\beta $, we consider the following Zeta function…

In this paper, we present some identities for multiple zeta-star values with indices obtained by inserting 3 or 1 into the string 2,...,2. Our identities give analogues of Zagier's evaluation of \zeta(2,...,2,3,2,..., 2) and examples of a…

Estimates for $Z_2(s) = \int_1^|infty |\zeta(1/2+ix)|^4x^{-s}dx (\Re s > 1)$ are discussed, both pointwise and in mean square. It is shown how these estimates can be used to bound $E_2(T)$, the error term in the asymptotic formula for…

We study some infinite products of absolute zeta functions. Especially, we consider the convergence and the rationality of them.

Two representations of the Bessel zeta function are investigated. An incomplete representation is constructed using contour integration and an integral representation due to Hawkins is fully evaluated (analytically continued) to produce two…

In this paper, we define the deformed Euler $(s,t)$-numbers ${\rm e}_{s,t,u}$ Furthermore, we prove that ${\rm e}_{as,a^2t,u^{-1}}$ and ${\rm e}_{as,a^2t,u^{-1}}^{-1}$ are irrational numbers when $a,u\in\mathbb{Q}$ and $\vert au\vert>1$,…

We prove the new upper bound 5.095412 for the irrationality exponent of $\zeta(2)=\pi^2/6$; the earlier record bound 5.441243 was established in 1996 by G. Rhin and C. Viola.

In this note we shall study the Witten multiple zeta function associated to the Lie algebra so(5) defined by Matsumoto. Our main result shows that its special values at nonnegative integers are always expressible by alternating Euler sums.…

We study functionals of the form \[\zeta_{t}=\int_0^{t}...\int_0^{t} | X_1(s_1)+...+ X_p(s_p)|^{-\sigma}ds_1... ds_p\] where $X_1(t),..., X_p(t)$ are i.i.d. $d$-dimensional symmetric stable processes of index $0<\bb\le 2$. We obtain results…

For the Tornheim double zeta function T(s1,s2,s3) of complex variables,we obtain its functional equations,which are new.Using the calculus of r-th order derivative of zeta(s,alpha) as a function of alpha(developed in author[7])as the…

On the critical line the conditional distribution of the zeta function's magnitude around zeta zeros exists and predicts the well-known pair correlation between nontrivial zeta zeros. However, this conditional distribution does not exist at…

We show that the twisted second moments of the Riemann zeta function averaged over the arithmetic progression $1/2 + i(an + b)$ with $a > 0$, $b$ real, exhibits a remarkable correspondance with the analogous continuous average and derive…

We consider the resolvent of a system of first order differential operators with a regular singularity, admitting a family of self-adjoint extensions. We find that the asymptotic expansion for the resolvent in the general case presents…

For real $\xi$ we consider irrationality measure function $\psi_\xi (t) = \min_{1\le q \le t, \, q\in \mathbb{Z}} ||q\xi||$. We prove that in the case $\alpha \pm \beta \not\in \mathbb{Z}$ there exist arbitrary large values of $t$ with…
