Motivated by an application of semigroup variants to the discrete log problem in groups and related cryptographic applications, we introduce a new kind of totient function, related to both Euler's function and a generalisation of Euler's…
We extend the classical Euler-Maclaurin expansion to sums over multidimensional lattices that involve functions with algebraic singularities. This offers a tool for the precise quantification of the effect of microscopic discreteness on…
Back in 1755, Euler explored an interesting array of numbers that now frequently appears in polynomial identities, combinatorial problems, and finite calculus, among other places. These numbers share a strong connection with well-known…
E158 in the Enestrom index. Translation of the Latin original "Observationes analyticae variae de combinationibus" (1741). This paper introduces the problem of partitions, or partitio numerorum (the partition of integers). In the first part…
In this note, we look at some of the less explored aspects of the gamma function. We provide a new proof of Euler's reflection formula and discuss its significance in the theory of special functions. We also discuss a result of Landau…
Particular families of special functions, conceived as purely mathematical devices between the end of XVIII and the beginning of XIX centuries, have played a crucial role in the development of many aspects of modern Physics. This is indeed…
We review Euler's work on spherical geometry. After an introduction concerning the general place that trigonometric formulae occupy in geometry, we start by the two memoirs of Euler on spherical trigonometry, in which he establishes the…
Integrals involving the kernel function $sech (\pi x)$ over a semi-infinite range are of general interest in the study of Riemann's function $\zeta(s)$ and Hurwitz' function $\zeta(s,a)$. Such integrals that include the $arctan$ and $log$…
We analyze the elliptic function ${\rm dn}_2$ introduced by Li-Chien Shen, contributing to the Ramanujan theory of elliptic functions in signature four.

Leonhard Euler likely developed his summation formula in 1732, and soon used it to estimate the sum of the reciprocal squares to 14 digits --- a value mathematicians had been competing to determine since Leibniz's astonishing discovery that…
We present a new approach to elliptic functions in signature four, offering a fresh perspective on work of Li-Chien Shen.
We discuss some aspects of the search for identities using computer algebra and symbolic methods. The focus is on so-called Apery-like formulae for special values of the Riemann Zeta function. Much work lays ahead in formally proving and…
This paper explores the properties of multipliers associated with discrete analogues of fractional integrals, revealing intriguing connections with Dirichlet characters, Euler's identity, and Dedekind zeta functions of quadratic imaginary…
In this article, we define a special function called the Bigamma function. It provides a generalization of Euler's gamma function. Several algebraic properties of this new function are studied. In particular, results linking this new…
We construct a well-behaved Weil-\'etale complex for a large class of $\mathbb{Z}$-constructible sheaves on a regular irreducible scheme $U$ of finite type over $\mathbb{Z}$ and of dimension $1$. We then give a formula for the special value…
The purpose of this paper is to prove the uniqueness of conical K\"ahler-Einstein metrics, under the condition that the twisted $Ding$-functional is proper. This is a generalization of the author's previous work, and we shall first…
Using Cauchy's Integral Theorem as a basis, what may be a new series representation for Dirichlet's function $\eta(s)$, and hence Riemann's function $\zeta(s)$, is obtained in terms of the Exponential Integral function $E_{s}(i\kappa)$ of…
Koecher in 1980 derived a method for obtaining identities for the Riemann zeta function at odd positive integers, including a classical result for $\zeta(3)$ due to Markov and rediscovered by Ap\'ery. In this paper we extend Koecher's…
Special functions have always played a central role in physics and in mathematics, arising as solutions of particular differential equations, or integrals, during the study of particular important physical models and theories in Quantum…
