Real zeros of the Barnes double zeta function in the interval $(1, 2)$

Abstract

Let $a, w_1, w_2,\cdot\cdot\cdot, w_r >0$ and $s \in \mathbb{C}$. We put $w= (w_1,\cdot\cdot\cdot,w_r)$. Then the Barnes $r$-ple zeta function is defined by $ζ_r(s, w, a) = \sum_{m_1=0}^{\infty} \cdot\cdot\cdot \sum_{m_r=0}^{\infty} 1/(a+m_1w_1+\cdot\cdot\cdot +m_rw_r)^s$ when $σ:= \Re(s)>r$. In this paper, we show that the Barnes double zeta function $ζ_2(σ, w, a)$ has real zeros in the interval $(1,2)$ if and only if $0< a < (w_1+w_2)/2$ and the number of such zero is precisely one if $0< a< (w_1+w_2)/2$.

Asymptotic density of k-almost primes

Landau's well known asymptotic formula $$N_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x : Ω(n)=k\}\mid \ \sim \left( \frac{x}{\log x} \right) \frac{(\log\log x)^{k-1}}{(k - 1)!}\ \ (x \rightarrow \infty),$$ which also holds for $$π_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x : ω(n)=k\}\mid,$$ is known to be fairly poor for $k > 1$, and when $k$ is allowed to tend to infinity with $x$, the study of $N_k(x)$ and $π_k(x)$ becomes very technical [1, Chapter II.6, $§$ 6.1, p.200]. I hope to show that the method described below provides not only a more accurate approach, but rather increases in its asymptotic accuracy as $k$ tends to infinity.

Transcendence Meets Normality: Construction of Transcendentally Normal Numbers

In this work, we study real numbers $x$ for which $p(x)$ is (absolutely) normal for every non-constant integer-valued polynomial $p$. We call such numbers transcendentally normal. We prove that almost every real number is transcendentally normal and provide an explicit construction of such a number, based on Sierpinski's covering method and novel ideas involving the so-called stretch function. In the next step, we transform this construction into an algorithm that computes the digits of a t-normal number recursively in all integer bases. Moreover, we extend our covering approach to construct and compute LIL-normal numbers whose discrepancies are of the order predicted by the law of the iterated logarithm. We also take the opportunity to discuss several interesting open problems.
