The Euler numbers have been widely studied. A signed version of the Euler numbers of even subscript are given by the coefficients of the exponential generating function 1/(1+x^2/2!+x^4/4!+...). Leeming and MacLeod introduced a…

In this paper, we investigate the Euler sums $$ G_{n+2}(p,q)=\sum_{1\leq k_1<k_2<\cdots<k_{p+1}}\frac1{k_1k_2\cdots k_pk_{p+1}^{n+2}} \sum_{1\leq\ell_1\leq\ell_2\leq\cdots\leq\ell_q\leq k_{p+1}}\frac1{\ell_1\ell_2\cdots\ell_q}. $$ We give…

We solve a problem concerning Euler's paper "Variae considerationes circa series hypergeometricas" (\cite{E661}) suggested by G. Faber in the preface to Volume 16,2 of the first series of Euler's Opera Omnia by methods proven by Euler on…

In a September 1976 PRL Eguchi and Freund considered two topological invariants: the Pontryagin number $P \sim \int d^4x \sqrt{g}R^* R$ and the Euler number $\chi \sim \int d^4x \sqrt{g}R^* R^*$ and posed the question: to what anomalies do…

Let $\Bbb Z$ be the set of integers, and let $(m,n)$ be the greatest common divisor of integers $m$ and $n$. Let $p\equiv 1\mod 4$ be a prime, $q\in\Bbb Z$, $2\nmid q$ and $p=c^2+d^2=x^2+qy^2$ with $c,d,x,y\in\Bbb Z$ and $c\e 1\mod 4$.…

The subject matter of this work are the two equations: x^4+y^4+z^4-2(x^2)(y^2)-2(y^2)(z^2)-2(z^2)(x^2)= n (1) And x^2+y^4+z^4-2x(y^2)-2x(z^2)-2(y^4)(z^4)= n (2) where n is a natural number. Contest Corner problem CC24, published in the…

The problem of representing a given positive integer as a sum of four squares of integers has been widely concerned for a long time, and for a given positive odd $n$ one can find a representation by doing arithmetic in a maximal order of…

Translation from the Latin original "Utrum hic numerus 1000009 sit primus necne inquiritur" (1778). E699 in the Enestrom index. The idea of this paper is that if some number is a sum of two squares in two ways, then some other smaller…

Euler--Maclaurin and Poisson analogues of the summations $\sum_{a < n \leq b} \chi(n) f(n)$, $\sum_{a < n \leq b} d(n) f(n)$, $\sum_{a < n \leq b} d(n) \chi (n) f(n)$ have been obtained in a unified manner, where $(\chi (n))$ is a periodic…

From the Rhind Papyrus and other extant sources, we know that the ancient Egyptians were very iterested in expressing a given fraction into a sum of unit fractions, that is fractions whose numerators are equal to 1. One of the problems that…

This paper outlines a solution to the Straus Erd\H{o}s Conjecture. Namely for each prime $p$ there exists positive integers $x \leq y \leq z$ so that $$ \frac{4}{p} = \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z} $$

In this paper we define the generalized q-analogues of Euler sums and present a new family of identities for q-analogues of Euler sums by using the method of Jackson q-integral rep- resentations of series. We then apply it to obtain a…

We give a complete description of all solutions to the equation $f_1^3 + f_2^3 = f_3^3 + f_4^3$ for quadratic forms $f_j \in \mathbb C[x,y]$ and show how Ramanujan's example can be extended to three equal sums of pairs of cubes. We also…
