Using elementary methods, we define and derive a particular weighted average of the trapezoidal and composite trapezoidal rules and show that this approximation, as well as its composite, is straightforward in computation. This…

We investigate the size of L^p-integrals for exponential sums over k-free numbers and prove essentially tight bounds.

In this paper we continue our study, begun in part I, of the exceptional set of integers, not restricted by elementary congruence conditions, which cannot be represented as sums of three or four squares of primes. We correct a serious…

In this paper we consider ordinal sums of combinatorial games where each summand is a number, not necessarily in canonical form. In doing so we give formulas for the value of an ordinal sum of numbers where the literal form of the base has…

We calculate Gaussian averages of arbitrary exponentials of the matrix variable $X$ with the help of superintegrability, which provides explicit expressions for Schur averages. As in the simpler cases the answer is expressed in terms of…

The $p$-set, which is in a simple analytic form, is well distributed in unit cubes. The well-known Weil's exponential sum theorem presents an upper bound of the exponential sum over the $p$-set. Based on the result, one shows that the…

This paper offers a solution method that allows one to find exact values for a large class of convergent series of rational terms. Sums of this form arise often in problems dealing with Quantum Field Theory.

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.

In this paper, we will explicitly calculate Gauss sums for the general linear groups and the special linear groups over $\Bbb Z_n$, where $\Bbb Z_n=\Bbb Z/n \Bbb Z$ and $n>0$ is an integer. For $r$ being a positive integer, the formulae of…

We primarily investigate congruences modulo $p$ for finite sums of the form $\sum_k\binom{rk}{k}x^k/k$ over the ranges $0<k<p$ and $0<k<p/r$, where $p$ is a prime larger than the positive integer $r$. Here $x$ is an indeterminate, thus…

We provide for primes $p\ge 5$ a method to compute valuations appearing in the "formal" Katz expansion of the family $\frac{E_{k}^{\ast}}{V(E_{k}^{\ast})}$ derived from the family of Eisenstein series $E_{k}^{\ast}$. The overconvergence…

Wolstenholme's type summations involve certain powers of all residues $k$ modulo some prime number $p$. We first consider the sums of double or triple products of certain powers of all residues, e.g., the sums of the terms $(a+k)^m(b+k)^n$…

In the present paper, we derive a renormalization formula "\`a la Hardy-Littlewood" for the Gaussian exponential sums with an exact formula for the remainder term. We use this formula to describe the typical growth of the Gaussian…

We use the periodicity properties of generalized Gauss sums to factor numbers. Moreover, we derive rules for finding the factors and illustrate this factorization scheme for various examples. This algorithm relies solely on interference and…

We propose an equivalent formula for the higher-order derivatives used in the study of Generalized Almost Perfect Nonlinear functions over an arbitrary finite field of characteristic $p$. The result is obtained by counting the number of…

We present a novel conjecture concerning the additive representation of natural numbers using prime powers. Based on extensive computational verification, we conjecture that every integer n > 23 can be expressed as a sum of at most five…

In this paper some new ways of generalizing perfect numbers are investigated, numerical results are presented and some conjectures are established.

This note provides new closed forms evaluations of a few classes of exponential sums associated with elliptic curves and hyperelliptic curves.

Let $P$ be a subset of the primes of lower density strictly larger than $\frac12$. Then, every sufficiently large even integer is a sum of four primes from the set $P$. We establish similar results for $k$-summands, with $k\geq 4$, and for…
