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,…

It is a classical fact that the irrationality of a number $\xi\in\mathbb R$ follows from the existence of a sequence $p_n/q_n$ with integral $p_n$ and $q_n$ such that $q_n\xi-p_n\ne0$ for all $n$ and $q_n\xi-p_n\to0$ as $n\to\infty$. In…

In order to prove irrationality of \sqrt{2} by using only decimal expansions (and not fractions), we develop in detail a model of real numbers based on infinite decimals and arithmetic operations with them.

Let $\beta > 1$ be a real number and $x \in [0,1)$ be an irrational number. Denote by $k_n(x)$ the exact number of partial quotients in the continued fraction expansion of $x$ given by the first $n$ digits in the $\beta$-expansion of $x$…

In this paper, we prove the following result. Let $\alpha$ be any real number between $0$ and $2$. Assume that $u$ is a solution of $$ \left\{\begin{array}{ll} (-\Delta)^{\alpha/2} u(x) = 0 , \;\; x \in \mathbb{R}^n ,\\…

For each integer $b \geq 3$ and every $x \geq 1$, let $\mathcal{N}_{b,0}(x)$ be the set of positive integers $n \leq x$ which are divisible by the product of their nonzero base $b$ digits. We prove bounds of the form $x^{\rho_{b,0} + o(1)}…

In this paper we provide an explicit bound for $|\zeta(1+it)|$ in the form of $|\zeta(1+it)|\leq \min\left(\log t, \frac{1}{2}\log t+1.93, \frac{1}{5}\log t+44.02 \right)$. This improves on the current best-known explicit bound of…

We construct Gaussian invariant measures for the two-dimensional Euler equation on the plane. We show the existence of solution with initial conditions in the support of the measures, namely $H^\beta_{loc}(\R^2)$ with $\beta<-1$. Uniqueness…

We prove a new result about the mutual behavior of irrationality measure functions $\psi_{\alpha_j}(t)$ for $n$ different real numbers $\alpha_j,\, j =1,...n$.

We rebut Kowalenko's claims in 2010 that he proved the irrationality of Euler's constant, and that his rational series for it is new.

We study real numbers $\beta$ with the curious property that the $\beta$-expansion of all sufficiently small positive rational numbers is purely periodic. It is known that such real numbers have to be Pisot numbers which are units of the…

We introduce and study finite analogues of Euler's constant in the same setting as finite multiple zeta values. We define a couple of candidate values from the perspectives of a ``regularized value of $\zeta(1)$'' and of Mascheroni's and…

Let $$ T(q)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty d(k) q^k, \quad |q|<1, $$ where $d(k)$ denotes the number of positive divisors of the natural number $k$. We present monotonicity properties of functions defined in terms of $T$. More specifically, we proved…

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…

We call a positive real number $\lambda$ admissible if it belongs to the Lagrange spectrum and there exists an irrational number $\alpha$ such that $\mu(\alpha)=\lambda$. Here $\mu(\alpha)$ denotes the Lagrange constant of $\alpha$ -…

In a recent work [JNT \textbf{129}, 2154 (2009)], Gun and co-workers have claimed that the number $\,\log{\Gamma(x)} + \log{\Gamma(1-x)}\,$, $x$ being a rational number between $0$ and $1$, is transcendental with at most \emph{one} possible…

In this work, we show that for all $t\geq e$, \[|\zeta(1+it)|\leq 0.6443 \log t. \] The equality is achieved when $t=17.7477$. We also use the Riemann-Siegel formula and numerical computations to show that \[|\zeta(1+it)|\leq\frac{1}{2}\log…

Let $p/q$ ($p, q \in \mathbb{N}^*$) be a positive rational number such that $p > q^2$. We show that for any $\epsilon > 0$, there exists a set $A(\epsilon) \subset [0, 1[$, with finite border and with Lebesgue measure $< \epsilon$, for…

The proof of the irrationality of Zeta(5) is a long standing open problem, but here only the case of Zeta(4) = (Pi^4)/90 is considered. The present paper suggests an approach for the irrationality of Zeta(4) along the lines of those known…

In a recent work, Gun, Murty and Rath defined the Chowla-Milnor space and proved a non-trivial lower bound for these spaces. They also obtained a conditional improvement of this lower bound and noted that an unconditional improvement of…
