MSC 2010: 26A33, 05C72, 33E12, 34A08, 34K37, 35R11, 60G22In the last decades fractional calculus became an area of intense re-search and development. The accompanying poster illustrates the major contributions during the period 1966-2010.

Let ${\Phi }_n\left(q\right)$ denote the $n$th cyclotomic polynomial in $q$. Recently, Guo, Schlosser and Zudilin proved that for any integer $n>1$ with $n\equiv 1(mod4)$, $$\sum _{k=0}^{n-1}\frac{{(q^{-1};q^2)}_k^2{(q^{-2};q^4)}_k}{{(q^2;q^2)}_k^2{(q^4;q^4)}_k}{q}^{6k}\equiv 0(mod{\Phi }_n{\left(q\right)}^2),$$ where ${(a;q)}_m=(1-a)(1-aq)\cdots (1-a{q}^{m-1})$. In this note, we give a generalization of the above $q$-congruence to the modulus ${\Phi }_n{\left(q\right)}^3$ case. Meanwhile, we give a corresponding $q$-congruence modulo ${\Phi }_n{\left(q\right)}^2$ for $n\equiv 3(mod4)$. Our proof is based on the ‘creative microscoping’ method, recently developed by Guo and Zudilin, and a ${}_4{\varphi }_3$ summation formula.

350 years ago in Spring of 1655 Sir William Brouncker on a request by John Wallis obtained a beautiful continued fraction for 4/π. Brouncker never published his proof. Many sources on the history of Mathematics claim that this proof was lost forever. In this paper we recover the original proof from Wallis' remarks presented in his Arithmetica Infinitorum. We show that Brouncker's and Wallis' formulas can be extended to MacLaurin's sinusoidal spirals via related Euler's products. We derive Ramanujan's...

We present an analogue of the Harer–Zagier recursion formula for the moments of the gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble in the form of a five term recurrence equation. The proof is based on simple gaussian integration by parts and differential equations on Laplace transforms. A similar recursion formula holds for the gaussian Symplectic Ensemble. As in the complex case, the result is interpreted as a recursion formula for the number of 1-vertex maps in locally orientable surfaces with a given number of...

A correct formulation of the Lion-Rolin Preparation Theorem for logarithmic-subanalytic functions (LA-functions) is given.

We prove the recursive integral formula of class one $M$-Whittaker functions on SL$(n,ℝ)$ conjectured and verified in case of $n=3,4$ by Stade.
