In 1999, Iwan Duursma defined the zeta function for a linear code as a generating function of its Hamming weight enumerator. It can also be defined for other homogeneous polynomials not corresponding to existing codes. If the homogeneous…

We develop a calculus that gives an elementary approach to enumerate partition-like objects using an infinite upper-triangular number-theoretic matrix. We call this matrix the Partition-Frequency Enumeration (PFE) matrix. This matrix…

Rubinstein and Sarnak have shown, conditional on the Riemann hypothesis (RH) and the linear independence hypothesis (LI) on the non-real zeros of $\zeta(s)$, that the set of real numbers $x\ge2$ for which $\pi(x)>$ li$(x)$ has a logarithmic…

Recently Gordon and McIntosh introduced the third order mock theta function $\xi(q)$ defined by $$ \xi(q)=1+2\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{q^{6n^2-6n+1}}{(q;q^6)_{n}(q^5;q^6)_{n}}. $$ Our goal in this paper is to study arithmetic properties of…

We introduce a method for proving almost sure termination in the context of lambda calculus with continuous random sampling and explicit recursion, based on ranking supermartingales. This result is extended in three ways. Antitone ranking…

In this article, we derive a series expansion of the prime zeta function about the $s=1$ logarithmic singularity and prove general formula for its expansion coefficients, which is similar to the Stieltjes expansion coefficients for the…

Let spt(n) denote the total number of appearances of smallest parts in the partitions of n. Recently, Andrews showed how spt(n) is related to the second rank moment, and proved some surprising Ramanujan-type congruences mod 5, 7 and 13. We…

On the assumption of the Riemann hypothesis and a spacing hypothesis for the nontrivial zeros $\frac12+i\gamma$ of the Riemann zeta function, we show that the sequence \[ \Gamma_{[a, b]} =\Bigg\{ \gamma : \gamma>0 \quad \mbox{and} \quad…

Recently, Amdeberhan and Merca proved some arithmetic properties of the crank parity function $C(n)$ defined as the difference between the number of partitions of $n$ with even cranks and those with odd cranks and the sequence $a(n)$ whose…

Let $\psi_{\mathbb K}$ be the Chebyshev function of a number field $\mathbb K$. Let $\psi^{(1)}_{\mathbb K}(x):=\int_{0}^{x}\psi_{\mathbb K}(t)\,d t$ and $\psi^{(2)}_{\mathbb K}(x):=2\int_{0}^{x}\psi^{(1)}_{\mathbb K}(t)\,d t$. We prove…

In the study of Ramanujan sums, the so-called regular $A$-function is a set-valued multiplicative function that tracks certain subsets of the divisor sets of natural numbers. McCarthy provided a generalization of the Ramanujan sum using…

In this article, we introduce a recurrence formula which only involves two adjacent values of the Riemann zeta function at integer arguments. Based on the formula, an algorithm to evaluate $\zeta$-values(i.e. the values of Riemann zeta…

Let $\pi S(t)$ denote the argument of the Riemann zeta-function at the point $\frac12+it$. Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we sharpen the constant in the best currently known bounds for $S(t)$ and for the change of $S(t)$ in intervals. We…

Two inequalities concerning the symmetry of the zeta-function and the Ramanujan $\tau$-function are improved through the use of some elementary considerations.

On pages 338 and 339 in his first notebook, Ramanujan defined the remarkable product of theta-functions $a_{m, n}$. Also he recorded eighteen explicit values depending on two parameters, namely, $m$, and $n$, where these are odd integers.…

We prove a number of results regarding odd values of the Ramanujan $\tau$-function. For example, we prove the existence of an effectively computable positive constant $\kappa$ such that if $\tau(n)$ is odd and $n \ge 25$ then either \[…

Recently, Simon Plouffe has discovered a number of identities for the Riemann zeta function at odd integer values. These identities are obtained numerically and are inspired by a prototypical series for Apery's constant given by Ramanujan:…

We prove a recent conjecture, due to Vigren and Dieckmann, about an explicit triple sum formula for a series from Ramanujan's Notebooks. We shall give two proofs: the first one is by evaluation and based on the identity \begin{equation*}…

In this paper we investigate analytic inequalities related to a conjecture of Henry involving the difference between the Riemann zeta function and the digamma function. By treating $\zeta(s)-\psi(1-s)$ as a unified analytic object, we…

We study the Ramanujan-prime-counting function along the lines of Ramanujan's original work on Bertrand's Postulate. We show that the number of Ramanujan primes between x and 2x tends to infinity with x. This analysis leads us to define a…
