Sign changes of error terms related to arithmetical functions

Paulo J. Almeida (2007)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

Let H ( x ) = ∑ n ≤ x φ ( n ) n - 6 π 2 x . Motivated by a conjecture of Erdös, Lau developed a new method and proved that # { n ≤ T : H ( n ) H ( n + 1 ) < 0 } ≫ T . We consider arithmetical functions f ( n ) = ∑ d ∣ n b d d whose summation can be expressed as ∑ n ≤ x f ( n ) = α x + P ( log ( x ) ) + E ( x ) , where P ( x ) is a polynomial, E ( x ) = - ∑ n ≤ y ( x ) b n n ψ x n + o ( 1 ) and ψ ( x ) = x - ⌊ x ⌋ - 1 / 2 . We generalize Lau’s method and prove results about the number of sign changes for these error terms.

A function related to the central limit theorem

Paul Bracken (1998)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

A number of properties of a function which originally appeared in a problem proposed by Ramanujan are presented. Several equivalent representations of the function are derived. These can be used to evaluate the function. A new derivation of an expansion in inverse powers of the argument of the function is obtained, as well as rational expressions for higher order coefficients.

Analytic and combinatoric aspects of Hurwitz polyzêtas

Jean-Yves Enjalbert, Hoang Ngoc Minh (2007)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

In this work, a symbolic encoding of generalized Di-richlet generating series is found thanks to combinatorial techniques of noncommutative rational power series. This enables to explicit periodic generalized Dirichlet generating series – particularly the coloured polyzêtas – as linear combinations of Hurwitz polyzêtas. Moreover, the noncommutative version of the convolution theorem gives easily rise to an integral representation of Hurwitz polyzêtas. This representation enables us to...
