One of the earliest examples of analytic representations for $\pi$ is given by an infinite product provided by Wallis in 1655. The modern literature often presents this evaluation based on the integral formula $$ \frac{2}{\pi} \int_0^\infty…
We generalize techniques of Addison to a vastly larger context. We obtain integral representations in terms of the first periodic Bernoulli polynomial for a number of important special functions including the Lerch zeta, polylogarithm,…
In the early 2000's the first and second named authors worked for a period of six years in an attempt of proving the Compositional Shuffle Conjecture [1]. Their approach was based on the discovery that all the Combinatorial properties…
We give a combinatorial identity related to the Franel numbers involving the sum of fourth power of binomial coefficients. Furthermore, investigating in J. Mikic's proof of the first Strehl Identity, we provide a combinatorial proof of this…
In 1982 Macdonald published his now famous constant term conjectures for classical root systems. This paper begins with the almost trivial observation that Macdonald's constant term identities admit an extra set of free parameters, thereby…
Let $\lambda (n)$ denote the Liouville function. Complementary to the prime number theorem, Chowla conjectured that \vspace{1mm} \noindent {\bf Conjecture (Chowla).} {\em \begin{equation} \label{a.1} \sum_{n\le x} \lambda (f(n)) =o(x)…
In 1904, Dickson [5] stated a very important conjecture. Now people call it Dickson's conjecture. In 1958, Schinzel and Sierpinski [14] generalized Dickson's conjecture to the higher order integral polynomial case. However, they did not…
This paper contains the proof of Macdonald's duality and evaluation conjectures, the definition of the difference Fourier transform, the recurrence theorem generalizing Pieri rules, and the action of GL(2,Z) on the Macdonald polynomials at…
The first author introduced a sequence of polynomials (\cite{8}, sequence A174531) defined recursively. One of the main results of this study is proof of the integrality of its coefficients.
We present a short proof of a conjecture proposed by I. Ra\c{s}a (2017), which is an inequality involving basic Bernstein polynomials and convex functions. This proof was given in the letter to I. Ra\c{s}a (2017). The methods of our proof…
We prove a functional transcendence theorem for the integrals of algebraic forms in families of algebraic varieties. This allows us to prove a geometric version of Andr\'e's generalization of the Grothendieck period conjecture, which we…
In 2000, Kadell gave an orthogonality conjecture for a symmetric function generalization of the Zeilberger--Bressoud $q$-Dyson constant term identity. The non-zero part of Kadell's conjecture is a constant term identity indexed by a weak…
We explore a variant of the zeta function interpolating the Bernoulli numbers based on an integral representation suggested by J. Jensen. The Bernoulli function $\operatorname{B}(s, v) = - s\, \zeta(1-s, v)$ can be introduced independently…
The Mertens function is defined as $M(x) = \sum_{n \leq x} \mu(n)$, where $\mu(n)$ is the M\"obius function. The Mertens conjecture states $|M(x)/\sqrt{x}| < 1$ for $x > 1$, which was proven false in 1985 by showing $\liminf M(x)/\sqrt{x} <…
One solution to a relatively recent American Mathematical Monthly problem [6], requesting the evaluation of a real definite integral, could be couched in terms of a contour integral which vanishes {\textit{a priori.}} While the required…
In the 1970s Muckenhoupt and Wheeden made several conjectures relating two weight norm inequalities for the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator to such inequalities for singular integrals. Using techniques developed for the recent proof of…
This paper discusses a few main topics in Number Theory, such as the M\"{o}bius function and its generalization, leading up to the derivation of neat power series for the prime counting function, $\pi(x)$, and the prime-power counting…
In 1906, Maillet proved that given a non-constant rational function $f$, with rational coefficients, if $\xi$ is a Liouville number, then so is $f(\xi)$. Motivated by this fact, in 1984, Mahler raised the question about the existence of…
Logarithmic integrals revisited. We consider integrals of the form $\int_0^1 \ln{\ln{(\frac{1}{x})}}R{(x)}{\rm d}x$ again, where $R{(x)}$ is a rational function, and we will explain a way to obtain their values.
We discuss some conjectural inequalities that are related to singular integrals, martingales, quasiconformal mappings, and the calculus of variations. Specifically, we present evidence for a conjecture of Iwaniec concerning the best…
