Infinite partial fraction expansions to compute fractional iterations and recurrences
Let say a function $f$ is defined iteratively over the set of positive integers, for instance $f(t+1)=f(f(t))$ or $f(t+1)=f(t)+f(t-1)$. Based on the recurrence relationship and initial conditions, how ...

Can we write $e^{-\alpha x}$ as $\sum_{n=0}^\infty c_n\left(\alpha\right)\gamma\left(x\right)^n$ such that $\lim_{x\to\infty}\gamma\left(x\right)=0$
Do there exist continuous functions $c_n\colon\mathbb R^+\to\mathbb R$ and $\gamma\colon\mathbb R^+\to\mathbb R$ such that $\lim_{x\to\infty}\gamma\left(x\right)=0$ and the following equation is true ...

Second question on a real sequence
I am thinking again about the real sequence $\{a_n\}_{n\ge1}$ which decays faster than any algebraic speed, that is, $\lim_{n\to \infty}n^pa_n = 0$ for every integer $p$. Actually, $a_n$ can be ...

On a monotonicity property of Fourier coefficients of truncated power functions
Is it true that
$$a_{k,n}:=\int_0^{2\pi}x^k\cos(nx)\,dx$$
is nonincreasing in natural $n$ for each $k\in\{0,1,\dots\}$?
This question is related to this previous one.
Twice integrating by parts, one ...

Uniform bound for an oscillatory sum
I am wondering if there is a uniform bound $C$ (independent of $\lambda>10$):
$$\sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1}\Big|\int_{2^k}^{2^{1+k}}\frac{\sin(\lambda t^3)}{t}dt\Big|\le C.$$
Remark: (1) An easy upper ...

more on "sinc-ing" integrals and sums
This is a follow up on the MO question here. I kept being fascinated and bemused by these functions.
Denote $\text{sinc}(x)=\frac{\sin x}x$. Experiments suggest that
$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\text{sinc}^...

On a weaker condition of summability for Fourier series
The Wiener algebra $W:=W(\mathbb{T}^n)$ on the torus is defined as the algebra of all continuous fonctions $f$ on $\mathbb{T}^n$ such that $(\widehat f(k))_{k\in \mathbb{Z}^n} \in \ell^1(\mathbb{Z}^n)$...

Prove that these two definitions of "natural" integration constant coincide when both converge
These are two possible definitions of antiderivative (integral) incorporating a supposedly natural choice of an integration constant (see this question for further details).
The first one is based on ...
