Divisor Sums of Generalised Exponential Polynomials

Abstract

AbstractA study is made of sums of reciprocal norms of integral and prime ideal divisors of algebraic integer values of a generalised exponential polynomial. This includes the important special cases of linear recurrence sequences and general sums of S-units. In the case of an integral binary recurrence sequence, similar (but stronger) results were obtained by P. Erdős, P. Kiss and C. Pomerance.
