For an arithmetical function $f$, its Ramanujan expansion is a series expansion in the form $f(n)=\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty}a(k) c_k(n)$ where $a(k)$ are complex numbers and $c_k(n):= \sum\limits_{\substack{m=1\\(m, k)=1}}^{k}e^{\frac{2\pi…

We prove new exact formulas for the generalized sum-of-divisors functions, $\sigma_{\alpha}(x) := \sum_{d|x} d^{\alpha}$. The formulas for $\sigma_{\alpha}(x)$ when $\alpha \in \mathbb{C}$ is fixed and $x \geq 1$ involves a finite sum over…

Let g be a (say, sufficiently differentiable) function on the reals. One knows how to apply g to Hermitian elements A of a C* algebra. Yet the question of differentiability of the mapping A to g(A) is not trivial, since in general "A and dA…

We call $R_G(a):=\sum_{q=1}^{\infty}G(q)c_q(a)$ the 'Ramanujan series', of coefficient $G:$N$\to$C, where $c_q(a)$ is the well-known Ramanujan sum. We study the convergence of this series (a preliminary step, to study Ramanujan expansions…

Given two arithmetical functions $f,g$ we derive, under suitable conditions, asymptotic formulas with error term, for the convolution sums $\sum_{n \le N} f(n) g(n+h)$, building on an earlier work of Gadiyar, Murty and Padma. A key role in…

For a Riemann integrable function on an interval and for a point therein,we define 'Fourier series at the point on the interval' and bring out how and when the function element becomes expressible as Fourier series.In this process,we also…

We use some general properties, presented in previous work, to evaluate special cases of integrals relating Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction, eta function and elliptic integrals.

The generalized summation of divergent trigonometric series, namely by method of $\sigma_k(r,a)$-factors is considered in this paper. It is proved that such summation of Fourier series of periodical function $f(t)$ results in the…

In this article, we present relations for the Euler totient function $\varphi(n)$ and the number of divisors $\tau(n)$ in terms of finite sums of integer parts of rational numbers or greatest common divisors of pairs of integers. Some of…

Let $c_q(n)$ denote the Ramanujan sum modulo $q$, and let $x$ and $y$ be large reals, with $x = o(y)$. We obtain asymptotic formulas for the sums $$\sum_{n \le y}(\sum_{q \le x} c_q(n))^k \qquad (k = 1, 2).$$

The Ramanujan--Mordell Theorem for sums of an even number of squares is extended to other quadratic forms and quadratic polynomials.

In this paper we establish several results concerning the generalized Ramanujan primes. For $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and $k \in \mathbb{R}_{> 1}$ we give estimates for the $n$th $k$-Ramanujan prime which lead both to generalizations and to…

Expanding upon recent work, a new class of $A$-functions is introduced that can be viewed as an appropriate generalization of the class of regular $A$-functions, the class of structured $A$-functions, and the class of perfect $A$-functions.…

An integer-valued polynomial $P(x,y,z)$ is said to be universal (over $\mathbb Z$) if each nonnegative integer can be written as $P(x,y,z)$ with $x,y,z\in\mathbb Z$. In this paper, we mainly introduce a new technique to determine the…

We prove a remarkable formula of Ramanujan for the logarithmic derivative of the gamma function, which converges more rapidly than classical expansions, and which is stated without proof in Ramanujan's notebooks. The formula has a number of…

For a fixed nonnegative integer $u$ and positive integer $n$, we investigate the symmetric function \[\sum_{d|n} \left(c_d(\tfrac{n}{d})\right)^u p_d^{\tfrac{n}{d}},\] where $p_n$ denotes the $n$th power sum symmetric function, and $c_d(r)$…

In this paper, we investigate the convergence properties of Fourier partial sums associated with general orthonormal systems, focusing on functions that belong to specific differentiable function classes. While classical Fourier analysis…

We present a survey of results related to the solution of Kolmogorov--Nikolsky problem for Fourier sums on the classes of generalized Poisson integrals $C^{\alpha,r}_{\beta,p}$, which consists in finding of asymptotic equalities for exact…

In this note we prove a general version of the Extrapolation Theorem, extending the classical linear extrapolation theorem due to B. Maurey. Our result shows, in particular, that the operators involved do not need to be linear.

We develop a method for calculating Riemann sums using Fourier analysis.
