Kuzmin-Landau Lemma basic for the bound of sum of exponentials is a nice example of the arithmetization of Analysis. Here we tell the interesting story of this Lemma emphasizing Landau's best constant.

In this paper I introduce a criterion for the Riemann hypothesis, and then using that I prove $\sum_{k=1}^\infty \mu(k)/k^s$ converges for $\Re(s) > \frac{1}{2}$. I use a step function $\nu(x) = 2\{x/2\} - \{x\}$ for the Dirichlet eta…

Let $\mu(n)$ denote the M\"obius function, define $M(x)= \sum_{n\leq x}^{}\mu (n)$. The main result of this paper is to prove that \begin{equation*} \displaystyle\lim_{x \to +\infty}\frac{M(x)}{x}=0 \end{equation*} which is equivalent to…

In this article, we provide a new elementary proof of the Basel problem.

We show that if $(X, \mu, T)$ is a probability measure-preserving dynamical system, and $\mathscr{P}$ is a countable partition of $(X, \mu)$, then the limit $$ \lim_{n, k \to \infty} \mathbb{E} \left[ \frac{1}{k} \sum_{j = 0}^{k - 1} f…

Landau's well known asymptotic formula $$N_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x : \Omega(n)=k\}\mid \ \sim \left( \frac{x}{\log x} \right) \frac{(\log\log x)^{k-1}}{(k - 1)!}\ \ (x \rightarrow \infty),$$ which also holds for $$\pi_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x :…

Consider a solution $u$ to $\Delta u +Vu=0$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$, where $V$ is real-valued, measurable and $|V|\leq 1$. If $|u(x)| \leq \exp(-C |x| \log^{1/2}|x|)$, $|x|>2$, where $C$ is a sufficiently large absolute constant, then $u\equiv…

We prove a functional extension of an exponential inequality originally proposed by Bin Zhao and proved by Xiaosheng Mou. The main result asserts that if $\alpha_1\leq \cdots\leq \alpha_n$ and $\sum_{k=1}^n \alpha_k=0$, then \[ \sum_{k=1}^n…

Let $f:\Z/q\Z\rightarrow\Z$ be such that $f(a)=\pm 1$ for $1\le a<q$, and $f(q)=0$. Then Erd\"os conjectured that $\sum_{n\ge1}\frac{f(n)}{n} \ne 0$. For $q$ even, this is trivially true. If $q\equiv 3$ ( mod $4$), Murty and Saradha proved…

Let $g:\mathbb{N}\to\{-1,1\}$ be a completely multiplicative function, $\mu$ be the M\"obius function and $\mu_2^2(n)$ be the indicator that $n$ is cubefree. We prove that $f=\mu^2g$ and $f=\mu_2^2g$ have unbounded partial sums. Our proofs…

Given a smooth function $K(x)$ satisfying a polynomially cone condition and $x\cdot\nabla K\leq 0$, we prove that there is no solution $u\in C^\infty(\mathbb{R}^2)$ of the equation $$-\Delta u=K(x)e^{2u}\quad \mathrm{on}\;\mathbb{R}^2$$…

Let $(\lambda_k)$ be a strictly increasing sequence of positive numbers such that $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{\lambda_k} < \infty.$ Let $f $ be a bounded smooth function and denote by $u= u^f$ the bounded classical solution to $u(x) -…

The equation studied is u"+((n-1)/r)u'+epsilon u u'+ku'^{2}=0, with boundary conditions u(1)=0, u(infinity)=1. This model equation has been studied by many authors since it was introduced in the 1950s by P. A. Lagerstrom. We use an…

We prove an extension of the Landau-Gonek formula. As an application we recover unconditionally some of the consequences of a pair correlation estimate that previously was known under the Riemann hypothesis. As one corollary we prove that…

Let $\rho$ and $\mu$ be two probability measures on $\mathbb{R}$ which are not the Dirac mass at $0$. We denote by $H(\mu|\rho)$ the relative entropy of $\mu$ with respect to $\rho$. We prove that, if $\rho$ is symmetric and $\mu$ has a…

Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on the real line. In this paper we prove that there exists a decomposition $\mu = \mu_{0} \boxplus \mu_{1} \boxplus \... \boxplus \mu_{n} \boxplus \...$ such that $\mu_{0}$ is infinitely divisible and…

For the Fourier transform $\mathcal{F}\mu$ of a general (non-trivial) self-similar measure $\mu$ on the real line $\mathbb{R}$, we prove a large deviation estimate \[ \lim_{c\to +0} \varlimsup_{t\to \infty}\frac{1}{t}\log…
