This paper concerns the values of the Euler phi-function evaluated simultaneously on k arithmetic progressions a_1 n + b_1, a_2 n + b_2, ..., a_k n + b_k. Assuming the necessary condition that no two of the polynomials a_i x + b_i are…

Suppose that $\theta$ is irrational. Then almost all elements $\nu\in {\mathbb Z}[\theta]$ that may be written as a $k$-fold product of the shifted integers $n+\theta$ $(n\in {\mathbb N})$ are thus represented essentially uniquely.

We show the pointwise convergence of the averages \[ \mathcal{A}_N f(x) = \frac{1}{\# \mathbf{B}_N} \sum_{n \in \mathbf{B}_N} f(x + n) \] for $f \in \ell^1(\mathbb{Z})$ where $\mathbf{B}_N = \mathbf{B} \cap [1, N]$, and $\mathbf{B}$ is a…

For a multigraph $F$, the $k$-subdivision of $F$ is the graph obtained by replacing the edges of $F$ with pairwise internally vertex-disjoint paths of length $k+1$. Conlon and Lee conjectured that if $k$ is even, then the…

Minkowski's question mark function is the distribution function of a singular continuous measure: we study this measure from the point of view of logarithmic potential theory and orthogonal polynomials. We conjecture that it is regular, in…

Building on work of Hardy and Ramanujan, Rademacher proved a well-known formula for the values of the ordinary partition function $p(n)$. More recently, Bruinier and Ono obtained an algebraic formula for these values. Here we study the…

For a set $A$ of points in the plane, not all collinear, we denote by ${\rm tr}(A)$ the number of triangles in any triangulation of $A$; that is, ${\rm tr}(A) = 2i+b-2$ where $b$ and $i$ are the numbers of points of $A$ in the boundary and…

We establish new estimates for the constant $J_a(k,\alpha)$ in the Brudnyi-Jackson inequality for approximation of $f \in C[-1,1]$ by algebraic polynomials: $$ E_{n}^a (f) \le J_a(k, \alpha) \ \omega_k (f, \alpha \pi /n ), \quad \alpha >0…

The modified Bessel function of the first kind, $I_{\nu}(x)$, arises in numerous areas of study, such as physics, signal processing, probability, statistics, etc. As such, there has been much interest in recent years in deducing properties…

In this paper, using a fractional integral as proposed by Katugampola we establish a generalization of integral inequalities of Gruss-type. We prove two theorems associated with these inequalities and then immediately we enunciate and prove…

Given a partition $\{E_0,\ldots,E_n\}$ of the set of primes and a vector $\mathbf{k} \in \mathbb{N}_0^{n+1}$, we compute an asymptotic formula for the quantity $|\{m \leq x: \omega_{E_j}(m) = k_j \ \forall \ 0 \leq j \leq n\}|$ uniformly in…

We study the Kronecker coefficients $g_{\lambda, \mu, \nu}$ via a formula that was described by Mishna, Rosas, and Sundaram, in which the coefficients are expressed as a signed sum of vector partition function evaluations. In particular, we…

The partial Stirling numbers T_n(k) used here are defined as the sum over odd values of i of (n choose i) i^k. Their 2-exponents nu(T_n(k)) are important in algebraic topology. We provide many specific results, applying to all values of n,…

Let $\Lambda\left(n\right)$ be the von Mangoldt function and $r_{SP}\left(n\right)=\sum_{m_{1}+m_{2}^{2}+m_{3}^{2}=n}\Lambda\left(m_{1}\right)\Lambda\left(m_{2}\right)\Lambda\left(m_{3}\right)$ be the counting function for the numbers that…

Let $N(n,r,k)$ denote the number of binary words of length $n$ that begin with $0$ and contain exactly $k$ runs (i.e., maximal subwords of identical consecutive symbols) of length $r$. We show that the generating function for the sequence…

Partition functions for non-interacting particles are known to be symmetric functions. It is shown that powerful group-theoretical techniques can be used not only to derive these relationships, but also to significantly simplify calculation…

We show that for any $\varepsilon > 0$, prime $q$ sufficiently large with respect to $1 / \varepsilon$ and residue class $(a,q) = 1$, there exist two integers $m, n \leq q^{5/2 + \varepsilon}$ with $m \equiv n \equiv a \pmod{q}$ such that…

In this paper we obtain some extensions of the classical Krylov-Safonov Harnack inequality. The novelty is that we consider functions that do not necessarily satisfy an infinitesimal equation but rather exhibit a two-scale behavior. We…

We show that $n$ is almost perfect if and only if $I(n) - 1 < D(n) \leq I(n)$, where $I(n)$ is the abundancy index of $n$ and $D(n)$ is the deficiency of $n$. This criterion is then extended to the case of integers $m$ satisfying $D(m)>1$.
