We determine the special values at positive integers of the spectral zeta function associated with the combinatorial Laplacian on the regular tree. These values admit explicit formulas in terms of certain polynomials, which we show to be…

We show that the sequence of ratios $d(n+1) / d(n)$ of consecutive values of the divisor function attains every positive rational infinitely many times. This confirms a prediction of Erd\H{o}s.

We study the series $\psi_s(z):=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \sec(n\pi z)n^{-s}$, and prove that it converges under mild restrictions on $z$ and $s$. The function possesses a modular transformation property, which allows us to evaluate $\psi_{s}(z)$…

The Zorn's Algebra ZZ(R) has a multiplicative function called determinant with properties similar to the usual one. The set of elements in ZZ(R) with determinant 1 is a Moufang loop that we will denote by \GA. In our main result we prove…

We derive new infinite series involving Fibonacci numbers and Riemann zeta numbers. The calculations are facilitated by evaluating linear combinations of polygamma functions of the same order at certain arguments.

We study the convolution of functions of the form \[ f_\alpha (z) := \dfrac{\left( \frac{1 + z}{1 - z} \right)^\alpha - 1}{2 \alpha}, \] which map the open unit disk of the complex plane onto polygons of 2 edges when $\alpha\in(0,1)$. We…

There exists an infinite series of ratios by which one can derive the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ from Catalan numbers and central binomial coefficients which appear in the terms of the series. While admittedly the derivation is not…

We consider series of the form $$ \frac{p}{q} +\sum_{j=2}^\infty \frac{1}{x_j}, $$ where $x_1=q$ and the integer sequence $(x_n)$ satisfies a certain non-autonomous recurrence of second order, which entails that $x_n|x_{n+1}$ for $n\geq 1$.…

We determine a lower gap property for the growth of an unbounded \(\mathbb{Z}\)-valued \(k\)-regular sequence. In particular, if \(f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{Z}\) is an unbounded \(k\)-regular sequence, we show that there is a constant \(c>0\)…

We investigate the values of the Riemann zeta function at odd integers and the Dirichlet beta function at even integers, by collecting several distinct analytic frameworks converging to these values, thus providing a unifying perspective.…

Let $\zeta(s)$ and $Z(t)$ be the Riemann zeta function and Hardy's function respectively. We show asymptotic formulas for $\int_0^T Z(t)\zeta(1/2+it)dt$ and $\int_0^T Z^2(t) \zeta(1/2+it)dt$. Furthermore we derive an upper bound for…

Let $R(n) = \sum_{a+b=n} \Lambda(a)\Lambda(b)$, where $\Lambda(\cdot)$ is the von Mangoldt function. The function $R(n)$ is often studied in connection with Goldbach's conjecture. On the Riemann hypothesis (RH) it is known that $\sum_{n\leq…

The special case of the hypergeometric function $_{2}F_{1}$ represents the binomial series $(1+x)^{\alpha}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(\:\alpha n\:)x^{n}$ that always converges when $|x|<1$. Convergence of the series at the endpoints, $x=\pm 1$,…

Relatively little is known about the arithmetic properties of Gamma-function derivatives evaluated at arbitrary points $q\in\mathbb{Q}\setminus\mathbb{Z}_{\leq0}$. In recent work, we showed that the sequence…

We give examples of $L^{1}$-functions that are essentially unbounded on every nonempty open subset of their domains of definition. We obtain such functions as limits of weighted sums of functions with the unboundedly increasing number of…

We formulate a parametrized uniformly absolutely globally convergent series of $\zeta$(s) denoted by Z(s, x). When expressed in closed form, it is given by Z(s, x) = (s -- 1)$\zeta$(s) + 1 x Li s z z -- 1 dz, where Li s (x) is the…

Denote $f(n):=\sum_{1\le k\le n} \tau(2^k-1)$, where $\tau$ is the number of divisors function. Motivated by a question of Paul Erd\H{o}s, we show that the sequence of ratios $f(2n)/f(n)$ is unbounded. We also present conditional results on…

The Ramanujan sequence $ \{\theta_{n}\}_{n \geq 0}$, defined as $$ \theta_{0}= \frac{1}{2} \ , \ \ \ \theta_{n} = \left(\ \ \frac{e^{n}}{2} - \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} \frac{n^{k}}{k !} \ \ \right) \cdot \frac{n !}{n^{n}} \ , \ \ n \geq 1 \ ,$$ has…

For a positive integer $n$, let $p(n)$ be the number of ways to express $n$ as a sum of positive integers. In this note, we revisit the derivation of the Rademacher's convergent series for $p(n)$ in a pedagogical way, with all the details…

Euler discovered a formula for expressing the value of the Riemann zeta function for all even positive integer arguments. A closed-form expression for the Riemann zeta function for all odd integer arguments, based on the values of the…
