We use the theory of cross ratios to construct a real-valued function f of only three variables with the property that for any finite set A of reals, the set f(A) = {f(a,b,c):a,b,c \in A} has cardinality at least C|A|^2/log|A|, for an…

We discuss some of the mathematical properties of the fractional derivative defined by means of Fourier transforms. We first consider its action on the set of test functions $\Sc(\mathbb R)$, and then we extend it to its dual set,…

Let $A, B\subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$ be finite, nonempty subsets, let $s\geq 2$ be an integer, and let $h_1(A,B)$ denote the minimal number $t$ such that there exist $2t$ (not necessarily distinct) parallel lines,…

We consider the space $A(\mathbb{T}^d)$ of absolutely convergent Fourier series on the torus $\mathbb{T}^d$. The norm on $A(\mathbb{T}^d)$ is naturally defined by $\|f\|_{A}=\|\widehat{f}\|_{l^1}$, where $\widehat{f}$ is the Fourier…

This paper proves the approximate intermediate value theorem, constructively and from notably weak hypotheses: from pointwise rather than uniform continuity, without assuming that reals are presented with rational approximants, and without…

Let $A$ be a positive definite operator on a Hilbert space $H$, and $|||.|||$ be a unitarily invariant norm on $B(H)$. We show that if $f$ is an operator monotone function on $(0,\infty)$ and $n\in \mathbb{N}$, then $|||D^n…

We investigate the existence, non-existence, uniqueness, and multiplicity of positive solutions to the following problem: \begin{align}\label{P} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} D_{0+}^\alpha u + h(t)f(u) = 0, \quad 0<t<1, \\[1ex] u(0)=u(1)=0,…

Let $k$ be a natural number. We consider $k$-times continuously-differentiable real-valued functions $f:E\to\mathbb{R}$, where $E$ is some interval on the line having positive length. For $0<\alpha<1$ let $I_\alpha(f)$ denote the set of…

We study the arithmetic (real) function, with f 'essentially bounded'. In particular, we obtain non-trivial bounds, through f 'correlations', for the 'Selberg integral' and the 'symmetry integral' of f in almost all short intervals…

Consider all the level sets of a real function. We can group these level sets according to their Hausdorff dimensions. We show that the Hausdorff dimension of the collection of all level sets of a given Hausdorff dimension can be…

Given two intervals $I, J \subset \mathbb{R}$, we ask whether it is possible to reconstruct a real-valued function $f \in L^2(I)$ from knowing its Hilbert transform $Hf$ on $J$. When neither interval is fully contained in the other, this…

Let $f$ be an entire function of finite exponential type less than or equal to $\sigma$ which is bounded by $1$ on the real axis and satisfies $f(0) = 1$. Under these assumptions H\"ormander showed that $f$ cannot decay faster than…

The results presented in this paper are refinements of some results presented in a previous paper. Three such refined results are presented. The first one relaxes one of the basic hypotheses assumed in the previous paper, and thus extends…

We consider Riemann's Xi function $\xi(s)$ which is evaluated at $s = \frac{1}{2} + \sigma + i \omega$, given by $\xi(\frac{1}{2} + \sigma + i \omega)= E_{p\omega}(\omega)$, where $\sigma, \omega$ are real and compute its inverse Fourier…

We study functions f : (a,b) ---> R on open intervals in R with respect to various kinds of positive and negative definiteness conditions. We say that f is positive definite if the kernel f((x + y)/2) is positive definite. We call f…

The aim of this paper is to study certain properties of the Kullback-Leibler distance between two positive integer numbers or between two ideals. We present some results related the entropy of a positive integer number and the divergence of…

This is the second in a pair of papers about residually reducible Galois deformation rings with non-optimal level. In the first paper, we proved a Galois-theoretic criterion for the deformation ring to be as small as possible. This paper…

We classify the polynomials $f(x,y) \in \mathbb R[x,y]$ such that given any finite set $A \subset \mathbb R$ if $|A+A|$ is small, then $|f(A,A)|$ is large. In particular, the following bound holds : $|A+A||f(A,A)| \gtrsim |A|^{5/2}.$ The…

Let $\alpha$ be a real number greater than $1$. We establish an effective lower bound for the distance between an integral power of $\alpha$ and its nearest integer.

In an effort to extend classical Fourier theory, Hedenmalm and Montes-Rodr\'{\i}guez (2011) found that the function system \[ e_m(x)=e^{i\pi mx},\quad e_n^\dagger(x)=e_n(-1/x)=e^{-i\pi n/x} \] is weak-star complete in…
