This is the first in a set of three papers providing an introduction to generalised Cesaro convergence. We start with traditional Cesaro methods for extending classical convergence and further generalise these to allow the calculation of…
We derive several identities for the Hurwitz and Riemann zeta functions, the Gamma function, and Dirichlet $L$-functions. They involve a sequence of polynomials $\alpha_k(s)$ whose study was initiated in an earlier paper. The expansions…
We establish for $2 \le k \le n-1$ the strict concavity of the function $f_k(\lambda)=\log(\sigma_k(\lambda))$ on a subset of the positive cone $\Gamma_n=\{\lambda=(\lambda_{1}, \lambda_{2}, \cdots,\lambda_{n})\in \mathbb{R}^n;…
We revisit a representation for the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ expressed in terms of normalised incomplete gamma functions given by the author and S. Cang in Methods Appl. Anal. {\bf 4} (1997) 449--470. Use of the uniform asymptotics…
Counting functions are constructed for sums of integers raised to a fixed positive rational power. That is, given values formed by $u_1^{j/k} + u_2^{j/k} + ... + u_l^{j/k}$, $u_i \in \mathbb{Z}^+$, the number of values less than or equal to…
Mathematical functions, which often appear in mathematical analysis, are referred to as special functions and have been studied over hundreds of years. Many books and dictionaries are available that describe their properties and serve as a…
The real and complex zeros of some special entire functions such as Wright, hyper-Bessel, and a special case of generalized hypergeometric functions are studied by using some classical results of Laguerre, Obreschkhoff, P\'olya and Runckel.…
We study the interplay between recurrences for zeta related functions at integer values, `Minor Corner Lattice' Toeplitz determinants and integer composition based sums. Our investigations touch on functional identities due to Ramanujan and…
Lindel\"of conjectured that the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(\sigma+it)$ grows more slowly than any fixed positive power of $t$ as $t\rightarrow\infty$ when $\sigma\geq 1/2$. Hardy and Littlewood showed that this is equivalent to the…
The Dirichlet eta function can be divided into $n$-th partial sum $\eta_{n}(s)$ and remainder term $R_{n}(s)$. We focus on the remainder term which can be approximated by the expression for $n$. And then, to increase reliability, we make…
We compute the number of irreducible linear representations of self-similar branch groups, by expressing these numbers as the co\"efficients a_n of a Dirichlet series sum a_n n^{-s}. We show that this Dirichlet series has a positive…
An elementary approach for computing the values at negative integers of the Riemann zeta function is presented. The approach is based on a new method for ordering the integers and a new method for summation of divergent series. We show that…
For a real number $\alpha$ the Hilbert spaces $\mathscr{D}_\alpha$ consists of those Dirichlet series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n/n^s$ for which $\sum_{n=1}^\infty |a_n|^2/[d(n)]^\alpha < \infty$, where $d(n)$ denotes the number of divisors of…
We give closed-form expressions for the Dirichlet beta function at even positive integers and for the Dirichlet lambda function at odd positive integers, based on the function J(s) defined via convergent integral. We also show fundamental…
A consistent approach to the description of integral coordinate invariant functionals of the metric on manifolds ${\cal M}_{\alpha}$ with conical defects (or singularities) of the topology $C_{\alpha}\times\Sigma$ is developed. According to…
We show the recurrence relations of the Euler-Zagier multiple zeta-function which describes the $r$-fold function with one variable specialized to a non-positive integer as a rational linear combination of $(r-1)$-fold functions, which…
The secondary zeta function $Z(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\alpha_n^{-s}$, where $\rho_n=\frac12+i\alpha_n$ are the zeros of zeta with $\Im(\rho)>0$, extends to a meromorphic function on the hole complex plane. If we assume the Riemann hypothesis…
The Mellin transform and several Dirichlet series related with the Riemann zeta function are used to deduce some identities similar to the classical M\"untz formula [4]. These formulas are derived in the critical strip and in the half-plane…
We prove an analogue of the Ikehara theorem for positive non-increasing functions convergent to zero, generalising the results postulated in Diekmann, Kaper (1978, Nonlinear Anal. 2(6), 721--737) and Carr, Chmaj (2004, Proc. AMS 132(8),…
Simple unsmoothed formulas to compute the Riemann zeta function, and Dirichlet $L$-functions to a power-full modulus, are derived by elementary means (Taylor expansions and the geometric series). The formulas enable square-root of the…
