We give a "regularity lemma" for degree-d polynomial threshold functions (PTFs) over the Boolean cube {-1,1}^n. This result shows that every degree-d PTF can be decomposed into a constant number of subfunctions such that almost all of the…

Lurie's representability theorem gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a functor to be an almost finitely presented derived geometric stack. We establish several variants of Lurie's theorem, making the hypotheses easier to verify…

An interactive theorem prover, Isabelle, is under development. In LCF, each inference rule is represented by one function for forwards proof and another (a tactic) for backwards proof. In Isabelle, each inference rule is represented by a…

We show that computing even very coarse approximations of critical points is intractable for simple classes of nonconvex functions. More concretely, we prove that if there exists a polynomial-time algorithm that takes as input a polynomial…

This expository paper presents elementary proofs of four basic results concerning derivatives of quasi-convex functions. They are combined into a fifth theorem which is simple to apply and adequate in many cases. Along the way we establish…

We give a new proof of an approximate functional equation, due to J. R. Wilton, for a trigonometric sum involving the divisor function. This allows us to improve on Wilton's error term and to give an explicit formula for an unspecified…

We prove two theorems about Goodwillie calculus and use those theorems to describe new models for Goodwillie derivatives of functors between pointed compactly-generated infinity-categories. The first theorem say that the construction of…

In this paper, we proved P(n,3), which is an important part of the DDVV conjecture. The general case will be treated in the next version of the paper.

We prove upper and lower bounds for certain sums of products of fractional parts by using majoring and minorizing functions from Fourier analysis. In special cases the upper bounds are sharp if there exist counterexamples to the Littlewood…

A unified explicit form for difference formulas to approximate the fractional and classical derivatives is presented. The formula gives finite difference approximations for any classical derivatives with a desired order of accuracy at nodal…

In this short note, we propose an unified method to derive formulas for derivations conjugated by exponential functions on an almost complex manifold. In v3, we corrected some mistakes in previous versions.

Let $a > 1$. Then $a^n < n!$ for some positive integer $n$. We show that the smallest such $n$ is one of a pair of possibilities, or is one possibility, which we show how to calculate. There are three interesting numerical sequences which…

For a function $f\colon \mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}$, define $N^{\times}_{f}(x)=\#\{n\leq x: n=kf(k) \mbox{ for some $k$} \}$. Let $\tau(n)=\sum_{d|n}1$ be the divisor function, $\omega(n)=\sum_{p|n}1$ be the prime divisor function, and…

We give a proof of the o-minimal version of the Whitney Extension Theorem simplified as compared to the original ones. A new simplifying ingredient is a definable variant of Urysohn's lemma for class $\mathcal{C}^q$ (see Section 3).

We present a function that tests for primality, factorizes composites and builds a closed form expression of $\pi(n^2)$ in terms of $\sum_{3 \leq p \leq n} \frac{1}{p}$ and a weaker version of $\omega(n)$.

In this article we obtain an explicit formula in terms of the partitions of the positive integer $n$ to express the $n$-th term of a wide class of sequences of numbers defined by recursion. Our proof is based only on arithmetics. We compare…

The goal of this paper is to construct a multivariate generalisation of the Grunwald-Letnikov derivative, a classical fractional derivative operator. To do so, we first produce a formalism of fractional derivatives in terms of infinitesimal…

All unitary irreducible representations of centrally extended (N-odd) N-conformal Galilei group are constructed. The "on-shell" action of the group is derived and shown to coincide, in special but most important case, with that obtained in:…

Second order approximate ancillaries have evolved as the primary ingredient for recent likelihood development in statistical inference. This uses quantile functions rather than the equivalent distribution functions, and the intrinsic…

Let $P$ be a non-torsion point on an elliptic curve defined over a number field $K$ and consider the sequence $\{B_n\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ of the denominators of $x(nP)$. We prove that every term of the sequence of the $B_n$ has a primitive…
