We represent the Euler alternating series (sometimes called the "Dirichlet eta function"), and generally $(b^s-b)\zeta(s)/b^s$ for $b>1$ an integer, in the half-plane $\Re s>0$, via series dominated by geometric series, with arbitrarily…
We present two algorithms for constructing orthonormal bases of rational function vectors with respect to a discrete inner product, and discuss how to use them for a rational approximation problem. Building on the pencil-based formulation…

The hypergeometric zeta function is defined in terms of the zeros of the Kummer function M(a, a + b; z). It is established that this function is an entire function of order 1. The classical factorization theorem of Hadamard gives an…

We derive recursions for the probability distribution of random sums by computer algebra. Unlike the well-known Panjer-type recursions, they are of finite order and thus allow for computation in linear time. This efficiency is bought by the…

The inverse of a large matrix can often be accurately approximated by a polynomial of degree significantly lower than the order of the matrix. The iteration polynomial generated by a run of the GMRES algorithm is a good candidate, and its…

An extension of two finite trigonometric series is studied to derive closed form formulae involving the Hurwitz-Lerch zeta function. The trigonometric series involves angles with a geometric series involving the powers of 3. These closed…
By using the Wilf-Zeilberger method, we prove a novel finite combinatorial identity related to a bivariate generating function for $\zeta(2+r+2s)$ (an extension of a Bailey-Borwein-Bradley Apery-like formula for even zeta values). Such…
Arthur Cohn's irreducibility criterion for polynomials with integer coefficients and its generalization connect primes to irreducibles, and integral bases to the variable $x$. As we follow this link, we find that these polynomials are ready…
Six families of generalized hypergeometric series in a variable $x$ and an arbitrary number of parameters are considered. Each of them is indexed by an integer $n$. Linear recurrence relations in $n$ relate these functions and their product…
