Some Arithmetical Properties of the Generating Power Series for the Sequence {ζ(2k+1)}k=1 ∞

Let f_odd(z):= ∑^∞ _k=1ζ(2k + 1)z^2k be the power series with the values of the Riemann ζ function at odd integers as coefficients. This function can be analytically continued to a meromorphic function over C. We prove that 1 and the values of f_odd at rational points with relatively prime denominators are linearly independent over ―Q. Some arithmetical properties of the sequence {ζ(2k+1)} _k=1 ^∞ are deduced. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

New Rapidly Convergent Series Concerning ζ(2k+1)

Values of new series sum(((2n-1)!ζ(2n))/(2n + 2k)!)α2n from n=1 to ∞,sum(((2n-1)!ζ(2n))/(2n+2k +1)!)β2n from n=1 to ∞ are given concerning ζ(2k + 1),where k is a positive integer,α can be taken as 1,1/2,1/3,2/3,1/4,3/4,1/6,5/6 and β can be taken as 1,1/2.Some previous results are included as special cases in the present paper and new series converges more rapidly than those exsiting results for α = 1/3,or α = 1/4,or α = 1/6.     

On the factor-web $$ {\boldsymbol{\bar{ W}}} $$ ( ρ, r,r) of the three-web W( r,r, r)

The notion of the factor-web [`(W)] \bar{W} (ρ, r, r) (1 ≤ ρ < r) is defined for the three-web W(r, r, r) formed on a 2r-dimensional differentiable manifold by three r-dimensional smooth foliations. Embedding of the factor-web in the initial web W(r, r, r) is constructed. This construction is a well-known geometric analog of the canonical extension of a Lie group of transformations to its parameter group.     

$$L^p$$ Christoffel–Minkowski problem: the case $$1< p<k+1$$1<p<k+1

We consider a fully nonlinear partial differential equation associated to the intermediate \(L^p\) Christoffel–Minkowski problem in the case \(1<p<k+1\). We establish the existence of convex body with prescribed k-th even p-area measure on \(\mathbb S^n\), under an appropriate assumption on the prescribed function. We construct examples to indicate certain geometric condition on the prescribed function is needed for the existence of smooth strictly convex body. We also obtain \(C^{1,1}\) regularity estimates for admissible solutions of the equation when \( p\ge \frac{k+1}{2}\).

Some new approximations and inequalities of the sequence $$(1+1/n)^n$$ and improvements of Carleman’s inequality

The modified Bernoulli numbers \(B_{n}^{*}\) considered by Zagier are generalized to modified Nörlund polynomials \({B_{n}^{(\ell )*}}\). For \(\ell \in \mathbb {N}\), an explicit expression for the generating function for these polynomials is obtained. Evaluations of some spectacular integrals involving Chebyshev polynomials and of a finite sum involving integrals of the Hurwitz zeta function are also obtained. New results about the \(\ell \)-fold convolution of the square hyperbolic secant distribution are obtained, such as a differential-difference equation satisfied by a logarithmic moment and a closed-form expression in terms of the Barnes zeta function.

On the Evaluation of the Tutte Polynomial at the Points (1, –1) and (2, –1)

Motivated by the identity t (K _n+2; 1, –1) = t (K _n ; 2, –1), where t(G; x, y) is the Tutte polynomial of a graph G, we search for graphs G having the property that there is a pair of vertices u, v such that t(G; 1, –1) = t(G – {u, v}; 2, –1). Our main result gives a sufficient condition for a graph to have this property; moreover, it describes the graphs for which the property still holds when each vertex is replaced by a clique or a coclique of arbitrary order. In particular, we show that the property holds for the class of threshold graphs, a well-studied class of perfect graphs.     

On the Study of Processes of $$\sum (H)$$ and $$\sum _\mathrm{s}(H)$$∑s(H) Classes

In papers by Yor, a remarkable class \(({\varSigma })\) of submartingales is introduced, which, up to technicalities, are submartingales \((X_{t})_{t\ge 0}\) whose increasing process is carried by the times t such that \(X_{t}=0\). These submartingales have several applications in stochastic analysis: for example, the resolution of Skorokhod embedding problem, the study of Brownian local times and the study of zeros of continuous martingales. The submartingales of class \(({\varSigma })\) have been extensively studied in a series of articles by Nikeghbali (part of them in collaboration with Najnudel, some others with Cheridito and Platen). On the other hand, stochastic calculus has been extended to signed measures by Ruiz de Chavez (Le théorème de Paul Lévy pour des mesures signées. Séminaire de probabilités (Strasbourg). Springer, Berlin, 1984) and Beghdadi-Sakrani (Calcul stochastique pour les mesures signées. Séminaire de probabilités (Strasbourg). Springer, Berlin, 2003). In Eyi Obiang et al. (Stochastics 86(1):70–86, 2014), the authors of the present paper have extended the notion of submartingales of class \(({\varSigma })\) to the setting of Ruiz de Chavez (1984) and Beghdadi-Sakrani (2003), giving two different classes of stochastic processes named classes \(\sum (H)\) and \(\sum _\mathrm{s}(H)\) where from tools of the theory of stochastic calculus for signed measures, the authors provide general frameworks and methods for dealing with processes of these classes. In this work, we first give some formulas of multiplicative decomposition for processes of these classes. Afterward, we shall establish some representation results allowing to recover any process of one of these classes from its final value and the last time it visited the origin.
