By splitting the real line into intervals of unit length a doubly infinite integral of the form $\Int F(q^x)\,dx,\; 0<q<1$, can clearly be expressed as $\Integ \Sum F(q^{x+n})\,dx$, provided $F$ satisfies the appropriate conditions. This…

We study divide-and-conquer recurrences of the form \begin{equation*} f(n) = \alpha f(\lfloor \tfrac n2\rfloor) + \beta f(\lceil \tfrac n2\rceil) + g(n) \qquad(n\ge2), \end{equation*} with $g(n)$ and $f(1)$ given, where $\alpha,\beta\ge0$…

We develop a systematic and fully explicit approach to the evaluation of binomial sums involving reciprocals of binomial coefficients based on Beta integral techniques. Starting from a simple integral representation, we provide a derivation…

We examine an identity originally stated in Ramanujan's ``lost notebook'' and first proven algebraically by Andrews and combinatorially by Kim. We give two independent combinatorial proofs and interpretations of this identity, which also…

The $3x+1$ Problem asks if whether for every natural number $n$, there exists a finite number of iterations of the piecewise function $$f(2n)=n, \quad f(2n-1)=6n-2, $$ with an iterate equal to the number $1$, or in other words, every…

Recently, Feng, Kuznetsov and Yang discovered a very general reduction formula for a sum of products of the generalized hypergeometric functions (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 443(2016), 116--122). The main goal of this note is to present a…

We consider two sequences $a(n)$ and $b(n)$, $1\leq n<\infty$, generated by Dirichlet series of the forms $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{a(n)}{\lambda_n^{s}}\qquad\text{and}\qquad \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{b(n)}{\mu_n^{s}},$$ satisfying a…

A landmark theorem in the metric theory of continued fractions begins this way: Select a non-negative real function $f$ defined on the positive integers and a real number $x$, and form the partial sums $s_n$ of $f$ evaluated at the partial…

In this series of seven papers, predominantly by means of elementary analysis, we establish a number of identities related to the Riemann zeta function. Whilst this paper is mainly expository, some of the formulae reported in it are…

We prove an explicit integral formula for computing the product of two shifted Riemann zeta functions everywhere in the complex plane. We show that this formula implies the existence of infinite families of exact exponential sum identities…

Binomial coefficients and central trinomial coefficients play important roles in combinatorics. Let $p>3$ be a prime. We show that $$T_{p-1}\equiv\left(\frac p3\right)3^{p-1}\ \pmod{p^2},$$ where the central trinomial coefficient $T_n$ is…

We derive an identity for the determinant of the sum of two $n\times n$ matrices, $A$ and $B$, whose entries are defined via contour integrals. Specifically, we consider $A(i,j)=\frac{1}{2\pi\mathrm{i}}\oint_0…

This study is on Cauchy's function $f(z)$ and its integral, $J[f(z)]\equiv (2\pi i)^{-1}\oint_C f(t)dt/(t-z)$ taken along a closed simple contour $C$, in regard to their comprehensive properties over the entire $z=x+iy$ plane consisted of…

Utilizing spectral residues of parameterized, recursively defined sequences, we develop a general method for generating identities of composition sums. Specific results are obtained by focusing on coefficient sequences of solutions of first…

Let $n$ be a positive integer, and define the rational function $S(x_1,\ldots,x_{2n})$ as the permanent of the matrix $[x_{j,k}]_{1\le j,k\le 2n}$, where $$x_{j,k}=\begin{cases}(x_j+x_k)/(x_j-x_k)&\text{if}\ j\not=k,\\1&\text{if}\…

We show that identities involving trigonometric sums recently proved by Harshitha, Vasuki and Yathirajsharma, using Ramanujan's theory of theta functions, were either already in the literature or can be proved easily by adapting results…

We provide an exposition of q-identities with multiple sums related to divisor functions given by Dilcher, Prodinger, Fu and Lascoux, Zeng, Guo and Zhang. Meanwhile, for each of these identities, a more powerful statement will be derived…

We study ternary monomial functions of the form $f(x)=\Tr_n(ax^d)$, where $x\in \Ff_{3^n}$ and $\Tr_n: \Ff_{3^n}\to \Ff_3$ is the absolute trace function. Using a lemma of Hou \cite{hou}, Stickelberger's theorem on Gauss sums, and certain…

The transformations of the sum identities for generalized harmonic and oscillatory numbers, obtained earlier in our recent report [1], enable us to derive the new identities expressed in terms of the corresponding square roots of x. At…

In this work, we derive relations between generating functions of double stuffle relations and double shuffle relations to express the alternating double Euler sums $\zeta\left(\overline{r}, s\right)$, $\zeta\left(r, \overline{s}\right)$…
