Many questions in experimental mathematics are fundamentally inductive in nature. Here we demonstrate how Bayesian inference --the logic of partial beliefs-- can be used to quantify the evidence that finite data provide in favor of a…
The fact that the double zeta values at n and m can be written as a sum of products of two zeta values and of zeta value at m+n, whenever n+m is odd is due to Euler. We shall show a weak version of this result for the Galois l-adic…
An easy generalization of Beukers' integrals allows us to conjecture a double integral formula involving the zeta and the gamma functions. A special case of this formula is Sondow's double integral formula for Euler's constant gamma.
In this paper, we continue to study properties of rational approximations to Euler's constant and values of the Gamma function defined by linear recurrences, which were found recently by A. I. Aptekarev and T. Rivoal. Using multiple…
A discussion involving the evaluation of the sum $\sum_{0<\gamma\le T} |\zeta(1/2+i\gamma)|^2$ is presented, where $\gamma$ denotes imaginary parts of complex zeros of the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$. Three theorems involving certain…
In this shortnote, a series expansion technique introduced recently by Dancs and He for generating Euler-type formulae for odd zeta values $\:\zeta{(2 k +1)}$, $\zeta{(s)}$ being the Riemann zeta function and $k$ a positive integer, is…
The Euler product formula relates Dirichlet $L(s,\chi)$ functions to an infinite product over primes, and is known to be valid for $\Re (s) >1$, where it converges absolutely. We provide arguments that the formula is actually valid for $\Re…
A famous theorem of Zudilin states that at least one of the Riemann zeta values $\zeta(5), \zeta(7), \zeta(9), \zeta(11)$ is irrational. In this paper, we establish the $p$-adic analogue of Zudilin's theorem. As a weaker form of our result,…
The harmonic numbers are the sequence 1, 1+1/2, 1+1/2+1/3, ... Their asymptotic difference from the sequence of the natural logarithm of the positive integers is Euler's constant gamma. We define a family of natural generalizations of the…
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…
We define a family {$\gamma(P)$} of generalized Euler constants indexed by finite sets of primes $P$ and study their distribution. These arise from partial sums of reciprocals of integers not divisible by any prime in $P$. An apparent…
In this article, we derive an expression for the complex magnitude of the Dirichlet beta function $\beta(s)$ represented as a Euler prime product and compare with similar results for the Riemann zeta function. We also obtain formulas for…
Let $a>1$ be an integer. Denote by $l_a(n)$ the multiplicative order of $a$ modulo integer $n\geq 1$. We prove that there is a positive constant $\delta$ such that if $x^{1-\delta}\log^3 x = o(y)$, then $$ \frac1y \sum_{a<y} \frac1x…
It is proved that if $T$ is sufficiently large, then uniformly for all positive integers $\ell \leqslant (\log T) / (\log_2 T)$, we have \begin{equation*} \max_{T\leqslant t\leqslant 2T}\left|\zeta^{(\ell)}\Big(1+it\Big)\right| \geqslant…
We apply the Euler--Maclaurin formula to find the asymptotic expansion of the sums $\sum_{k=1}^n (\log k)^p / k^q$, ~$\sum k^q (\log k)^p$, ~$\sum (\log k)^p /(n-k)^q$, ~$\sum 1/k^q (\log k)^p $ in closed form to arbitrary order ($p,q…
In this note we evaluate multiple integrals that play a crucial role in the theory of irrationality of zeta function
The Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the Li criterion governing a sequence of real constants, that are certain logarithmic derivatives of the Riemann xi function evaluated at unity. We investigate a related set of constants c_n, n =…
We revisit Beukers' modular-form proof of the irrationality of $\zeta(3)$ from the point of view of the auxiliary weight two modular form. For the Fricke group $\Gamma_0(6)^\star$, we show that Beukers' choice is not isolated: it belongs to…
Recently, it was conjectured that the first generalized Stieltjes constant at rational argument may be always expressed by means of Euler's constant, the first Stieltjes constant, the $\Gamma$-function at rational argument(s) and some…
Robin's theorem is one of the ingenious reformulation of the Riemann hypothesis (RH). It states that the RH is true if and only if $\sigma(n)<e^\gamma n\log\log n$ for all $n>5040$ where $\sigma(n)$ is the sum of divisors of $n$ and…
