We consider the series of reciprocals of those positive integers with exactly $k$ occurrences of a given $b$-ary digit $d$ (Irwin series), and obtain geometrically convergent representations for their sums. They are expressed in terms of the moments and Stieltjes transforms of some measures on the unit interval. The moments obey linear recurrences allowing straightforward numerical implementations. This framework also allows to study the large $k$ limit, and, in further works by the author, the large $b$ asymptotics.
From two q-summation formulas we deduce certain series expansion formulas involving the q-gamma function. With these formulas we can give q-analogues of series expansions for certain constants.
This paper presents a family of rapidly convergent summation formulas for various finite sums of analytic functions. These summation formulas are obtained by applying a series acceleration transformation involving Stirling numbers of the first kind to the asymptotic, but divergent, expressions for the corresponding sums coming from the Euler-Maclaurin summation formula. While it is well-known that the expressions obtained from the Euler-Maclaurin summation formula diverge, our summation formulas are all very rapidly convergent and thus computationally efficient.
In the sixth chapter of his notebooks Ramanujan introduced a method of summing divergent series which assigns to the series the value of the associated Euler-MacLaurin constant that arises by applying the Euler-MacLaurin summation formula to the partial sums of the series. This method is now called the Ramanujan summation process. In this paper we calculate the Ramanujan sum of the exponential generating functions $\sum_{n\geq 1}\log n e^{nz}$ and $\sum_{n\geq 1}H_n^{(j)} e^{-nz}$ where $H_n^{(j)}=\sum_{m=1}^n \frac{1}{m^j}$. We find a surprising relation between the two sums when $j=1$ from w…
This paper presents a family of rapidly convergent summation formulas for various finite sums of the form $\sum_{k=0}^{\lfloor x\rfloor}f(k)$, where $x$ is a positive real number.
In this paper, we find the closed sums of certain type of Fibonacci related convergent series. In particular, we generalize some results already obtained by Brousseau, Popov, Rabinowitz and others.
In this paper, we find the sums in closed form of certain type of Lucas-related convergent series. More precisely, we generalize the results already obtained by the author in his arXiv paper entitled: "Summation of certain infinite Fibonacci related series".
In the work we have considered p-adic functional series with binomial coefficients and discussed its p-adic convergence. Then we have derived a recurrence relation following with a summation formula which is invariant for rational argument. More precisely, we have investigated a sufficient condition under which the p-adic power series converges to a rational invariant sum 0. Finally we have shown application of the invariant summation formula to get some intersting relations involving Bernoulli numbers and Bernoulli polynomials.
We prove hypergeometric type summation identities for a function defined in terms of quotients of the $p$-adic gamma function by counting points on certain families of hyperelliptic curves over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. We also find certain special values of that function.
In this paper we have discussed convergence of power series both in p-adic norm as well as real norm. We have investigated rational summability of power series with respect to both p-adic norm and real norm under certain conditions. Then we have studied convergence of specially constructed power series and derived summation formula. Finally, we have studied the adele, idele and some results regarding it with the help of convergent power series.
In terms of the derivative operator and Watson-type $_3F_2$-series identities, three families of summation formulae involving generalized harmonic numbers are established.
We find summation identities and transformations for the McCarthy's $p$-adic hypergeometric series by evaluating certain Gauss sums which appear while counting points on the family $$Z_λ: x_1^d+x_2^d=dλx_1x_2^{d-1}$$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$. A. Salerno expresses the number of points over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ on the family $Z_λ$ in terms of quotients of $p$-adic gamma function under the condition that $d|p-1$. In this paper, we first express the number of points over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ on the family $Z_λ$ in terms of McCarthy's $p$-adic hypergeometric series for a…
By means of the derivative operator and Whipple-type $_3F_2$-series identities, two families of summation formulae involving generalized harmonic numbers are established.
Using Abel summation the paper proves a weak form of the Wiener-Khinchin formula for arithmetic functions with point-wise convergent Ramanujan-Fourier expansions. The main result is that the convolution of most arithmetic functions possessing an R-F expansion are Abel-summable to a result involving only the Ramanujan-Fourier coefficients of the R-F expansion(s).
In this paper we introduce the so-called truncated very-well-poised $_6ψ_6$ series and set up an explicit recurrence relation for it by means of the classical Abel lemma on summation by parts. This new recurrence relation implies an elementary proof of Bailey's well-known $_6ψ_6$ summation formula.
We have established novel integral representations of the Riemann zeta-function and Dirichlet eta-function based on powers of trigonometric functions and digamma function, and then use these representations to find close forms of Laurent series expansions of these same powers of trigonometric functions and digamma function. The so obtained series can be used to find numerous summation rules for certain values of the Riemann zeta and related functions and numbers, such as e.g. Bernoulli and Euler numbers.
It is well known since A. J. Kempner's work that the series of the reciprocals of the positive integers whose the decimal representation does not contain any digit 9, is convergent. This result was extended by F. Irwin and others to deal with the series of the reciprocals of the positive integers whose the decimal representation contains only a limited quantity of each digit of a given nonempty set of digits. Actually, such series are known to be all convergent. Here, letting $S^{(r)}$ $(r \in \mathbb{N})$ denote the series of the reciprocal of the positive integers whose the decimal represent…
We discuss the summation of certain series defined by counting blocks of digits in the $B$-ary expansion of an integer. For example, if $s_2(n)$ denotes the sum of the base-2 digits of $n$, we show that $\sum_{n \geq 1} s_2(n)/(2n(2n+1)) = (γ+ \log \frac{4}π)/2$. We recover this previous result of Sondow in math.NT/0508042 and provide several generalizations.
Summation of the $p$-adic functional series $\sum \varepsilon^n \, n! \, P_k^\varepsilon (n; x)\, x^n ,$ where $P_k^\varepsilon (n; x)$ is a polynomial in $x$ and $n$ with rational coefficients, and $\varepsilon = \pm 1$, is considered. The series is convergent in the domain $|x|_p \leq 1$ for all primes $p$. It is found the general form of polynomials $P_k^\varepsilon (n; x)$ which provide rational sums when $x \in \mathbb{Z}$. A class of generating polynomials $A_k^\varepsilon (n; x)$ plays a central role in the summation procedure. These generating polynomials are related to many sequences …
With the help of a summation of basic hypergeometric series, the creative microscoping method recently introduced by Guo and Zudilin, and the Chinese remainder theorem for coprime polynomials, we find some new $q$-supercongruences. Especially, we give a $q$-analogue of a formula due to Liu [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 497 (2021), Art.~124915].
Summation of a large class of the functional series, which terms contain factorials, is considered. We first investigated finite partial sums for integer arguments. These sums have the same values in real and all p-adic cases. The corresponding infinite functional series are divergent in the real case, but they are convergent and have p-adic invariant sums in p-adic cases. We found polynomials which generate all significant ingredients of these series and make connection between their real and p-adic properties. In particular, we found connection of one of our integer sequences with the Bell n…
We generalize a terminating summation formula to a unilateral nonterminating, and further, a bilateral summation formula by a property of analytic functions. The unilateral one is proved to be a $q$-analogue of a $_4F_3$-summation formula. And, an identity unifying Jacobi's triple product identity and the quintuple product identity is obtained as a special case of the bilateral one.
We give new proofs for certain bilateral basic hypergeometric summation formulas using the symmetries of the corresponding series. In particular, we present a proof for Bailey's $_3ψ_3$ summation formula as an application. We also prove a multiple series analogue of this identity by considering hyperoctahedral group symmetries of higher ranks.
We consider summation of some finite and infinite functional p-adic series with factorials. In particular, we are interested in the infinite series which are convergent for all primes p, and have the same integer value for an integer argument. In this paper, we present rather large class of such p-adic functional series with integer coefficients which contain factorials. By recurrence relations, we constructed sequence of polynomials A_k(n;x) which are a generator for a few other sequences also relevant to some problems in number theory and combinatorics.
In a recent work, Gun and co-workers have proposed that $\,\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}{(n+α)^{-k}}\,$ is a transcendental number for all integer $\,k$, $k > 1$, and $\,α\in \mathbb{Q} \backslash \mathbb{Z}$. Here in this work, this proposition is shown to be \emph{false} whenever $\,k\,$ is odd and $\,α\,$ is a half-integer. It is also shown that these are the only counterexamples, which allows for a correct reformulation of the original proposition. This leads to a theorem yielding a closed-form expression for the summation of that series, which determines its arithmetic nature. The result is t…
This paper is second in a series of three papers; the first of which is "Summation Formulas, from Poisson and Voronoi to the Present" (math.NT/0304187), and the third of which is "Automorphic Distributions, L-functions, and Voronoi Summation for GL(3)". The first paper is primarily an expository paper, while the third proves a Voronoi-style summation formula for the coefficients of a cusp form on GL(3,Z)\GL(3,R). This present paper contains the distributional machinery used in the third paper for rigorously deriving the summation formula, and also for the proof of the GL(3)xGL(1) converse theo…
Lucy Slater used Bailey's $_6ψ_6$ summation formula to derive the Bailey pairs she used to construct her famous list of 130 identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan type. In the present paper we apply the same techniques to Chu's $_{10}ψ_{10}$ generalization of Bailey's formula to produce quite general Bailey pairs. Slater's Bailey pairs are then recovered as special limiting cases of these more general pairs. In re-examining Slater's work, we find that her Bailey pairs are, for the most part, special cases of more general Bailey pairs containing one or more free parameters. Further, we also find ne…
In this paper, we shall study Aéry-type series in which the central binomial coefficient appears as part of the summand. Let $b_n=4^n/\binom{2n}{n}$. Let $s_1,\dots,s_d$ be positive integers with $s_1\ge 2$. We consider the series \begin{align*} \sum_{n_1>\cdots>n_d>0} \frac{b_{n_1}}{n_1^{s_1}\cdots n_d^{s_d}} \end{align*} and the variants with some or all indices $n_j$ replaced by $2n_j\pm 1$ and some or all "$>$" replaced by "$\ge$", provided the series are defined. We can also replace $b_{n_1}$ by its square in the above series when $s_1\ge 3$. The main result is that all such series are $\…
In terms of the derivative operator and three hypergeometric series identities, several interesting summation formulas involving generalized harmonic numbers are established.
We provide a multidimensional weighted Euler--MacLaurin summation formula on polytopes and a multidimensional generalization of a result due to L. J. Mordell on the series expansion in Bernoulli polynomials. These results are consequences of a more general series expansion; namely, if $χ_{τ\mathcal{P}}$ denotes the characteristic function of a dilated integer convex polytope $\mathcal{P}$ and $q$ is a function with suitable regularity, we prove that the periodization of $qχ_{τ\mathcal{P}}$ admits an expansion in terms of multivariate Bernoulli polynomials. These multivariate polynomials are re…
We evaluate in closed form series of the type $\sum u(n) R(n)$, where $(u(n))_n$ is a strongly $B$-multiplicative sequence and $R(n)$ a (well-chosen) rational function. A typical example is: $$ \sum_{n \geq 1} (-1)^{s_2(n)} \frac{4n+1}{2n(2n+1)(2n+2)} = -\frac{1}{4} $$ where $s_2(n)$ is the sum of the binary digits of the integer $n$. Furthermore closed formulas for series involving automatic sequences that are not strongly $B$-multiplicative, such as the regular paperfolding and Golay-Shapiro-Rudin sequences, are obtained; for example, for integer $d \geq 0$: $$ \sum_{n \geq 0} \frac{v(n)}{(n…
We calculate mean values of $\operatorname{GL}_n$-automorphic $L$-functions twisted by primitive even Dirichlet characters of prime-power conductor, at arbitrary points within the critical strip, by derivation of special Voronoi summation formulae. Our calculation is novel in that the twisted sum can be expressed in terms of the average itself, and also that it sees the derivation of various new summation formulae in the setting of prime-power modulus. One consequence, as we explain, is to show the analytic continuation and additive summation formulae for hyper-Kloosterman Dirichlet series ass…
Following the Mellin and inverse Mellin transform techniques presented in our paper arXiv:1606.02150 (NT), we have established close forms of Laurent series expansions of products of bi- and trigamma functions /psi(z)*/psi(-z) and /psi_(1)(z)*/psi_(1)(-z). These series were used to find summation rules which include generalized harmonic numbers of first, second and third powers and values of the Riemann zeta-functions at integers / Bernoulli numbers, for example 2*Sum_(k-1)^(infinity)(H_(k)^((2))/k^3)=6*/zeta(2)*/zeta(3)-9*/zeta(5). Some of these rules were tested numerically.
Analytic summation of series involving higher-order derivatives of Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind and their applications to convolved linear recurrent sequences
We prove new double summation hypergeometric $q$-series representations for several families of partitions, including those that appear in the famous product identities of Göllnitz, Gordon, and Schur. We give several different proofs for our results, using bijective partitions mappings and modular diagrams, the theory of $q$-difference equations and recurrences, and the theories of summation and transformation for $q$-series. We also consider a general family of similar double series and highlight a number of other interesting special cases.
By giving the definition of the sum of a series indexed by a set on which a group acts, we prove that the sum of the series that defines the Riemann zeta function, the Epstein zeta function, and a few other series indexed by $\Z^k$ has an intrinsic meaning as a complex number, independent of the requirements of analytic continuation. The definition of the sum requires nothing more than algebra and the concept of absolute convergence. The analytical significance of the algebraically defined sum is then explained by an argument that relies on the Poisson formula for tempered distributions.
We show how infinite series of a certain type involving generalized harmonic numbers can be computed using a knowledge of symmetric functions and multiple zeta values. In particular, we prove and generalize some identities recently conjectured by J. Choi, and give several more families of identities of a similar nature.
