Kurokawa and Wakayama [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 132 (2004), pp. 935–943] defined a q-analogue of the Euler constant and proved the irrationality of certain numbers involving q-Euler constant. In this paper, we improve their results and prove the linear independence result involving q-analogue of the Euler constant. Further, we derive the closed-form of a q-analogue of the k-th Stieltjes constant \gamma _k(q). These constants are the coefficients in the Laurent series expansion of a q-analogue of the Riemann zeta function around s=1. Using a result of Nesterenko [C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris Sér. I Math. 322 (1996), pp. 909–914], we also settle down a question of Erdős regarding the arithmetic nature of the infinite series \sum _{n\geq 1}{\sigma _1(n)}/{t^n} for any integer t > 1. Finally, we study the transcendence nature of some infinite series involving \gamma _1(2). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Quite recently, we have obtained two main theorems dealing with absolute weighted arithmetic mean summability factors of infinite series and trigonometric Fourier series [C. R. Math. Acad. Sci. Paris 359 (2021), pp. 323–328]. In this paper, we have generalized these theorems for a general summability method. We have also obtained some new and known results for certain absolute summability methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
