A hypergeometric identity equating a triple sum to a single sum, originally found by Gelfand, Graev and Retakh [Russian Math. Surveys 47 (1992), 1-88] by using systems of differential equations, is given hypergeometric proofs. As a bonus,…
The Erd\H{o}s primitive set conjecture states that the sum $f(A) = \sum_{a\in A}\frac{1}{a\log a}$, ranging over any primitive set $A$ of positive integers, is maximized by the set of prime numbers. Recently Laib, Derbal, and Mechik proved…
We show that some sum rules for the hydrogen atom derived recently are incorrect because the authors did not take into account the continuous part of the spectrum in the sum over intermediate states.
In this paper, we study the alternating Euler $T$-sums and $\S$-sums, which are infinite series involving (alternating) odd harmonic numbers, and have similar forms and close relations to the Dirichlet beta functions. By using the method of…
In this paper, we employ methods of contour integration and residue calculus to investigate the parity of two classes of cyclotomic Euler-type sums. One class involves products of cyclotomic harmonic numbers, while the other involves…
We prove an old conjecture of Erd{\H o}s and Graham on sums of unit fractions: There exists a constant $b>0$ such that if we $r$-color the integers in $2,b^r]$, then there exists a monochromatic set $S$ such that $\sum_{n \in S} 1/n=1$.
We construct sequences $\{a_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\in\{-1,1\}^{\mathbb{N}}$ with small values of signed harmonic sums \[ \sum_{n\in\mathcal{A}\cap[1,N]}\frac{a_n}{n}, \] for any reasonably dense subsets $\mathcal{A}\subset\mathbb{N}.$ We…
We show that parity-time and partial parity-time symmetries are particular cases of antiunitary symmetry. This point is illustrated by means of a recently discussed system of non-Hermitian coupled harmonic oscillators that also exhibits…
We prove a common generalization to several mass partition results using hyperplane arrangements to split $\mathbb{R}^d$ into two sets. Our main result implies the ham-sandwich theorem, the necklace splitting theorem for two thieves, a…
We obtain ergodic theorems for multiple iterated sums and integrals of the form $\Sigma^{(\nu)}(t)=\sum_{0\leq k_1<...<k_\nu\leq t}\xi(k_1)\otimes\cdots\otimes\xi(k_\nu)$, $t\in[0,T]$ and $\Sigma^{(\nu)}(t)=\int_{0\leq s_1\leq...\leq…
Euler--Maclaurin and Poisson analogues of the summations $\sum_{a < n \leq b} \chi(n) f(n)$, $\sum_{a < n \leq b} d(n) f(n)$, $\sum_{a < n \leq b} d(n) \chi (n) f(n)$ have been obtained in a unified manner, where $(\chi (n))$ is a periodic…
Let $\omega^*(n)$ be the number of primes $p$ such that $p-1$ divides $n$. Assuming the Elliott--Halberstam Conjecture, we prove a conjecture posted by M. R. Murty and V. K. Murty in 2021 which states that $$\sum_{n\leqslant…
Paul Erd\H{o}s posed a problem on the asymptotic estimation of decomposing 1 into a sum of infinitely many unit fractions in \cite{Erd80}. We point out that this problem can be solved in the same way as the finite case, as shown in…
Euler discovered recurrence for divisor sum functions as a consequence of the pentagonal numbers theorem. With similar idea and also motivated by Ewell's work in 1977, we prove new recurrences for certain divisor sum functions and…
In this paper, we consider the fractional sum of the divisor functions. We can improve previous results considered by Bordell\'{e}s \cite{Bo} and Liu-Wu-Yang \cite{LWY}.
If we cannot obtain all terms of a series, or if we cannot sum up a series, we have to turn to the partial sum approximation which approximate a function by the first several terms of the series. However, the partial sum approximation often…
It is well known that the real and imaginary parts of any holomorphic function are harmonic functions of two variables. In this paper we generalize this property to finite-dimensional commutative algebras. We prove that if some basis of a…
A pair of odd primes is said to be symmetric if each prime is congruent to one modulo their difference. A theorem from 1996 by Fletcher, Lindgren, and the third author provides an upper bound on the number of primes up to x that belong to a…
We prove new double summation hypergeometric $q$-series representations for several families of partitions, including those that appear in the famous product identities of G\"ollnitz, Gordon, and Schur. We give several different proofs for…
In a recent article, Apagodu and Zeilberger (http://arxiv.org/abs/1606.03351)discuss some applications of an algorithm for finding and proving congruence identities (modulo primes) of indefinite sums of many combinatorial sequence. At the…
