Bounding a number-theoretic integral
Find a good upper bound on $$\int_1^T\frac{\zeta'(s)}{\zeta(s)\zeta(1-s)}X^sdt,$$ where $s=c+it$ for a constant $c>1$ and $X>0$ is a parameter. If needed, we can assume RH.
My attempt here is ...

About the function $\prod_{k \in \mathbb{N}}(1-\frac{x^3}{k^3})$
I'm wondering if the function $$f(x)=\prod_{k \in \mathbb{N}}\left(1-\frac{x^3}{k^3}\right)$$ has a name, or if there are any properties (especially about derivatives of $f$) have studied so far.
I ...

A need for analytic continuation of a finite sum function
Let $\varphi(n):=(-1)^{n+1}(n+1)2^{2n}$.
I am able to prove the following identity (${\color{red}{\mathbf{LHS}}}$=infinite series, ${\color{blue}{\mathbf{RHS}}}$=finite sum)
\begin{align*}
{\color{red}...

Where does this trig. identity hold?
Fix an integer $n\geq1$.
QUESTION. Is it possible to find ALL pair of sequences of non-negative integers $(a_k,b_k)$, for $k=1,2,\dots,n$, such that
$$\sum_{k=1}^n \sin^{2a_k}\theta\cdot \cos^{2b_k}\...

Extending an assignment property from Q to R (or C)
Property of any odd number of nonnegative integers:
Given $x_1 \leq \cdots \leq x_{2n + 1}$ with each $x_i \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$, suppose that for any $x_i$ we remove, the remaining numbers can be ...

Is the imaginary part of $t\mapsto\zeta(1/2+it)$ close to the derivative of its real part?
Plotting $t\mapsto\zeta(1/2+it)$ on Wolfram alpha, it seems that the maxima of its real part are close to the zeros of its imaginary part, while the maxima of the latter seem close to the inflection ...

Kasteleyn's formula for domino tilings generalized?
It seems a marvel when a bunch of irrational numbers "conspire" to become rational, even better an integer. An elementary example is $\prod_{j=1}^n4\cos^2\left(\pi j/(2n+1)\right)=1$.
Kasteleyn's ...

Fourier expansion of Takagi-function (everywhere non differentiable function).
Let us consider Takagi-function defined by
$T(x) \colon\!= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}s(2^nx)/2^n$,
where $s(x) \colon\!\!= \underset{n \in {\Bbb Z}}{\mathrm{min}} \,|x-n|$.
$T(x)$ has its period $1$, so ...
