Let $n \geq 5$ and let $u^1,\dots,u^n$ be nonnegative real $n$-vectors such that the indices of their positive elements form the sets $\{1,2,\dots,n-2\},\{2,3,\dots,n-1\},\dots,\{n,1,\dots,n-3\}$, respectively. Here each index set is…

We consider the problem of the representation of real continuous functions by linear superpositions $\sum_{i=1}^{k}g_{i}\circ p_{i}$ with continuous $g_{i}$ and $p_{i}$. This problem was considered by many authors. But complete, and at the…

If b^2 + 1 is prime then b must be even, hence we examine the form 4u^2 + 1. Rather than study primes of this form we study composites where the main theorem of this paper establishes that if 4u^2 + 1 is composite, then u belongs to a set…

Inspired by Menshov's representation theorem, we prove that there exists a sequence of frequecies such that any measurable (complex valued) function on R can be represented as a sum of almost everywhere convergent trigonometric series with…

Let $A$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra and $\alpha$ be an injective, unital endomorphism of $A$. A covariant representation of $(A,\alpha)$ is a pair $(\pi,T)$ consisting of a $C^*$-representation $\pi$ of $A$ on a Hilbert space $H$ and a…

Let $\mathcal{S}_n$ be the set of all $n$-by-$n$ symmetric real matrices, and let $\mathcal{C}_n$ be the copositive cone, that is, the set of all matrices $a\in\mathcal{S}_n$ that fulfill the condition $u^\top a u\geqslant0$ for all…

Let $F$ be a local non-Archimedean field of characteristic zero with a finite residue field. Based on Tadi\'{c}'s classification of the unitary dual of $\mathrm{GL}_{2n}(F)$, we classify irreducible unitary representations of…

The main purpose of this paper is to give characterization theorems on derivations as well as on linear functions. Among others the following problem will be investigated: Let $n\in\mathbb{Z}$, $f, g\colon\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ be…

For $h \geq 1$, a $B_h$-set is a set of integers such that every integer $n$ has at most one representation in the form $n = a_{i_1} + \cdots + a_{i_h}$, where $a_{i_r} \in A$ for all $r = 1,\ldots, h$ and $a_{i_1} \leq \ldots \leq…

We consider the space $U(\mathbb T)$ of all continuous functions on the circle $\mathbb T$ with uniformly convergent Fourier series. We show that if $\varphi: \mathbb T\rightarrow\mathbb T$ is a continuous piecewise linear but not linear…

We study connections between linear equations over various semigroups and recursively enumerable sets of positive integers. We give variants of the universal Diophantine representation of recursively enumerable sets of positive integers…

Motivated by a 2001 problem of S\'ark\"ozy, we classify all situations of the integers $b,c,e$ and $f$ satisfying \begin{align*} \limsup_{n\rightarrow\infty}|d(\mathcal{A},bn+c)-d(\mathcal{A},en+f)|=\infty \end{align*} for any infinite…

In additive number theory, a finite set $A$ of integers is an $h$-basis for $n$ if every integer in $\{0,1,2,\ldots, n\}$ can be represented as the sum of exactly $h$ not necessarily distinct elements of $A$. This paper introduces a new…

This article presents a family of nonlinear differential identities for the spatially periodic function $u_s(x)$, which is essentially the Jacobian elliptic function $\cn^2(z;m(s))$ with one non-trivial parameter $s$. More precisely, we…

We study the periodic boundary value problem associated with the $\phi$-Laplacian equation of the form $(\phi(u'))'+f(u)u'+g(t,u)=s$, where $s$ is a real parameter, $f$ and $g$ are continuous functions, and $g$ is $T$-periodic in the…

For integers a and n>0, let a(n) denote the residue class {x\in Z: x=a (mod n)}. Let A be a collection {a_s(n_s)}_{s=1}^k of finitely many residue classes such that A covers all the integers at least m times but {a_s(n_s)}_{s=1}^{k-1} does…

We introduce notions of absolutely continuous functionals and representations on the non-commutative disk algebra $A_n$. Absolutely continuous functionals are used to help identify the type L part of the free semigroup algebra associated to…

We prove that for pairwise co-prime numbers $k_1,\dots,k_d \geq 2$ there does not exist any infinite set of positive integers $A$ such that the representation function $r_A (n) = \{ (a_1, \dots, a_d) \in A^d : k_1 a_1 + \dots + k_d a_d = n…

Let $d\geq 1$ be a natural number and $A_0$ be a $d\times d$ expansive integral matrix with determinant $\pm 2.$ Then $A_0$ is integrally similar to an integral matrix $A$ with certain additional properties. A finite solution to the system…

The aim of this note is to provide an upper bound of the number of positive integers $\le x$ which can be written as $\varphi(n)$ for some positive integer $n$, where $\varphi$ stands for the Euler's function. The order of magnitude of this…
