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]

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]

We consider two sequences a(n) and b(n), 1\leq n<\infty, generated by Dirichlet series of the forms \begin{equation*} \sum _{n=1}^{\infty }\dfrac {a(n)}{\lambda _n^{s}}\qquad \text {and}\qquad \sum _{n=1}^{\infty }\dfrac {b(n)}{\mu _n^{s}}, \end{equation*} satisfying a familiar functional equation involving the gamma function \Gamma (s). A general identity is established. Appearing on one side is an infinite series involving a(n) and modified Bessel functions K_{\nu }, wherein on the other side is an infinite series involving b(n) that is an analogue of the Hurwitz zeta function. Six special cases, including a(n)=\tau (n) and a(n)=r_k(n), are examined, where \tau (n) is Ramanujan's arithmetical function and r_k(n) denotes the number of representations of n as a sum of k squares. All but one of the examples appear to be new. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
