Sinan Deveci

I am Sinan Deveci from Switzerland and have been sent to the SIYSS by the Swiss Youth in Science Foundation. As this is a mathematical paper, I shall proceed by using the standard ”we”-form. We present many novel results in number theory, including a double series formula for the natural logarithm and a proof concerning the Hölder mean based on the functional equation for the Riemann zeta function. We find a harmonic mean analogue of Chebyshev’s inequality for the prime counting function involving the Euler-Mascheroni constant. Furthermore, we define a function taking the Hölder mean of all positive integers up to a given number and investigate its asymptotic behavior, finding two different patterns which are separated by the harmonic mean. Additionally, we discuss the behavior of said function at zero and discover a formula involving the Riemann zeta function, whose continuity we prove with Riemann’s functional equation. Inspired by the alternating harmonic series, we find a double series formula for the natural logarithm, resulting in identities involving the Riemann zeta function, binomial coefficients, and logarithms.
