Inspired by the Erd\"os-Turan conjecture we consider subsets of the natural numbers that contains infinitely many aritmetic progressions (APs) of any given length - such sets will be called AP-sets and we know due to the Green-Tao Theorem…

Let $j\geq 3$ be any fixed integer and $f$ be a primitive holomorphic cusp form of even integral weight $\kappa\geq 2$ for the full modular group $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$. We write $\lambda_{{\rm{sym}^j }f}(n)$ for the $n^\text{th}$ normalized…

Smoothed analysis of complexity bounds and condition numbers has been done, so far, on a case by case basis. In this paper we consider a reasonably large class of condition numbers for problems over the complex numbers and we obtain…

Let d>2 and let p be a prime coprime to d. Let Z_pbar be the ring of integers of Q_pbar. Suppose f(x) is a degree-d polynomial over Qbar and Z_pbar. Let P be a prime ideal over p in the ring of integers of Q(f), where Q(f) is the number…

We show that for every positive integer $k$ there are positive constants $C$ and $c$ such that if $A$ is a subset of $\{1, 2, \dots, n\}$ of size at least $C n^{1/k}$, then, for some $d \leq k-1$, the set of subset sums of $A$ contains a…

We consider several problems at or beyond endpoint in harmonic analysis. The solutions of these problems are related to the estimates of some classes of sublinear operators. To do this, we introduce some new functions spaces…

In the context of global optimization and mixed-integer non-linear programming, generalizing a technique of D'Ambrosio, Fampa, Lee and Vigerske for handling the square-root function, we develop a virtuous smoothing method, using cubics,…

Every odd prime number p can be written in exactly (p + 1)/2 ways as a sum ab+cd of two ordered products ab and cd such that min(a, b) > max(c, d). An easy corollary is a proof of Fermat's Theorem expressing primes in 1 + 4N as sums of two…

In part I of this paper we studied additive decomposability of the set $\F_y$ of th $y$-smooth numbers and the multiplicative decomposability of the shifted set $\g_y=\F_y+\{1\}$. In this paper, focusing on the case of 'large' functions…

Polynomial functions $f : \mathbb{N}_+ \longrightarrow \mathbb{N}_+$ are studied for which sums of arbitrary length $f (1) + f (2) + f (3) + >... + f (n)$, with $n \in \mathbb{N}_+$, can be expressed by polynomial functions $g :…

We study the subspaces of $L_p(\mathbb{R}^d)$ that consist of functions whose Fourier transforms vanish on a smooth surface of codimension $1$. We show that a subspace defined in such a manner coincides with the whole $L_p$ space for $p >…

$S \subseteq \mathbb{Z}_{2n}$ is said to be sum-free if $S$ has no solution to the equation $a+b=c$. The sum-free process on $\mathbb{Z}_{2n}$ starts with $S:=\emptyset$, and iteratively inserts elements of $\mathbb{Z}_{2n}$, where each…

We develop the novel machinery of smooth approximations, and apply it to confirm the CSP dichotomy conjecture for first-order reducts of the random tournament, various homogeneous graphs including the random graph, and for expansions of the…

It is natural to expect the following loosely stated approximation principle to hold: a numerical approximation solution should be in some sense as smooth as its target exact solution in order to have optimal convergence. For piecewise…

Let $p$ be a prime, and let $f(x)$ be an integer-valued polynomial. By a combinatorial approach, we obtain a nontrivial lower bound of the $p$-adic order of the sum $$\sum_{k=r(mod p^{\beta})}\binom{n}{k}(-1)^k f([(k-r)/p^{\alpha}]),$$…

We study number theoretic properties of the map $x \mapsto x^{x} \mod{p}$, where $x \in \{1,2,\ldots,p-1\}$, and improve on some recent upper bounds, due to Kurlberg, Luca, and Shparlinski, on the number of primes $p < N$ for which the map…

We consider the sparsification of sums $F : \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}$ where $F(x) = f_1(\langle a_1,x\rangle) + \cdots + f_m(\langle a_m,x\rangle)$ for vectors $a_1,\ldots,a_m \in \mathbb{R}^n$ and functions $f_1,\ldots,f_m : \mathbb{R}…

Let $N$ be a positive integer and let $f$ be a meromorphic modular function of level $N$ with rational Fourier coefficients. For a prime $p$, define a function $f_p$ on the complex upper half-plane $\mathbb{H}$ by \begin{equation*}…

We provide an explicit family of pairs $(\alpha, \beta) \in \mathbb{R}^k \times \mathbb{R}^k$ such that for sufficiently regular $f$, there is a constant $C>0$ for which the theta sum bound…

In this article, we study the Euler's factorial series $F_p(t)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty n!t^n$ in $p$-adic domain under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis. First, we show that if we consider primes in $k\varphi(m)/(k+1)$ residue classes in the…
