Ramanujan sums have been studied and generalized by several authors. For example, Nowak studied these sums over quadratic number fields, and Grytczuk defined that on semigroups. In this note, we deduce some properties on sums of generalized…
The generalized Waring problem asks exactly which positive integers cannot be expressed as the sum of $j$ positive $k$-th powers? Using computational techniques, this paper refines an approach introduced by Zenkin, establishes results for…
We provide a systematic method to compute arithmetic sums including some previously computed by Alaca, Alaca, Besge, Cheng, Glaisher, Huard, Lahiri, Lemire, Melfi, Ou, Ramanujan, Spearman and Williams. Our method is based on quasimodular…
We construct an algorithm that reduces the complexity for computing generalized Dedekind sums from exponential to polynomial time. We do so by using an efficient word rewriting process in group theory.
We present new infinite arctangent sums and infinite sums of products of arctangents. Many previously known evaluations appear as special cases of the general results derived in this paper.
We study sums of the form $\sum_{k=m}^n a_{nk} b_{km}$, where $a_{nk}$ and $b_{km}$ are binomial coefficients or unsigned Stirling numbers. In a few cases they can be written in closed form. Failing that, the sums still share many common…
In 1997 K. Ono and K. Soundararajan [Invent. Math. 130(1997)] proved that under the generalized Riemann hypothesis any positive odd integer greater than 2719 can be represented by the famous Ramanujan form $x^2+y^2+10z^2$, equivalently the…
We establish some identities of Euler related sums. By using these identities, we discuss the closed form representations of sums of harmonic numbers and reciprocal parametric binomial coefficients through parametric harmonic numbers,…
For a positive integer $m$ and a subgroup $\Lambda$ of the unit group $(\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z})^\times$, the corresponding generalized Kloosterman sum is the function $K(a,b,m,\Lambda) = \sum_{u \in \Lambda}e(\frac{au + bu^{-1}}{m})$.…
We prove the remaining part of the conjecture by Denef and Sperber [Denef, J. and Sperber, S., \textit{Exponential sums mod $p^n$ and {N}ewton polyhedra}, Bull. Belg. Math. Soc., {\bf{suppl.}} (2001) 55-63] on nondegenerate local…
In this paper, we consider representations of integers as sums of generalized heptagonal numbers with a prescribed number of repeats of each heptagonal number appearing in the sum. In particular, we investigate the classification of such…
Modular operads relevant to string theory can be equipped with an additional structure, coming from the connected sum of surfaces. Motivated by this example, we introduce a notion of connected sum for general modular operads. We show that a…
The aim of the present article is to explore the possibilities of representing positive integers as sums of other positive integers and highlight certain fundamental connections between their multiplicative and additive properties. In…
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…
A More Sums Than Differences (MSTD, or sum-dominant) set is a finite set $A\subset \mathbb{Z}$ such that $|A+A|<|A-A|$. Though it was believed that the percentage of subsets of $\{0,...,n\}$ that are sum-dominant tends to zero, in 2006…
In the present paper, the fundamental aim is to consider a p-adic continuous function for an odd prime to inside a p-adic q-analogue of the higher order modified Dedekind-type sums related to q-Genocchi polynomials with weight alpha by…
Consider the congruence class R_m(a)={a+im:i\in Z} and the infinite arithmetic progression P_m(a)={a+im:i\in N_0}. For positive integers a,b,c,d,m the sum of products set R_m(a)R_m(b)+R_m(c)R_m(d) consists of all integers of the form…
We study the number of lattice points in integer dilates of the rational polytope $P = (x_1,...,x_n) \in \R_{\geq 0}^n : \sum_{k=1}^n x_k a_k \leq 1$, where $a_1,...,a_n$ are positive integers. This polytope is closely related to the linear…

An overlooked formula of E. Lucas for the generalized Bernoulli numbers is proved using generating functions. This is then used to provide a new proof and a new form of a sum involving classical Bernoulli numbers studied by K. Dilcher. The…
