We prove that every Mahler series, over a field of characteristic $0$, with multiplicative coefficients is regular in the sense of Allouche and Shallit. We also obtain an explicit characterization of such series. This yields a joint…

We prove that every sufficiently large integer $n$ can be written as the sum of a prime and an integer that is not square-free. In addition, we expect this result holds for every $n > 24$ and prove two results to support this claim. First,…

We prove that coronizations with respect to arbitrary d-regular sets (not necessarily graphs) imply big pieces squared of these (approximating) sets. This is known (and due to David and Semmes in the case of sufficiently large co-dimension,…

For an arbitrary homogeneous linear recurrence sequence of order d with constant coefficients, we derive recurrence relations for all subsequences with indices in arithmetic progression. The coefficients of these recurrences are given…

We prove explicit bounds for the number of sums of consecutive prime squares below a given magnitude.

Euler--Maclaurin and Poisson analogues of the summations $\sum_{a < n \leq b} \chi(n) f(n)$, $\sum_{a < n \leq b} d(n) f(n)$, $\sum_{a < n \leq b} d(n) \chi (n) f(n)$ have been obtained in a unified manner, where $(\chi (n))$ is a periodic…

Congruences of truncated sums of infinite series do not directly extend to congruences of the truncated sums of higher powers of these infinite series. Guo and Zudilin recently established a variety of supercongruences for truncated sums of…

Fix irrational numbers $\alpha,\hat\alpha>1$ of finite type and real numbers $\beta,\hat\beta\ge 0$, and let $B$ and $\hat B$ be the Beatty sequences $$ B:=(\lfloor\alpha m+\beta\rfloor)_{m\ge 1}\quad\text{and}\quad\hat…

We show that multiplication from $L_p\times L_q$ to $L_1$ (for $p,q\in [1,\infty]$, $1/p+1/q=1$) is a uniformly open mapping. We also prove the uniform openness of the multiplication from $\ell_1\times c_0$ to $\ell_1$. This strengthens the…

For an integer $k\geq 2$, let $(L_{n}^{(k)})_{n}$ be the $k-$generalized Lucas sequence which starts with $0,\ldots,0,2,1$ ($k$ terms) and each term afterwards is the sum of the $k$ preceding terms. In this paper, we find all the integers…

B\"uchi's $n$ Squares Problem asks for an integer $M$ such that any sequence $(x_0,...,x_{M-1})$, whose second difference of squares is the constant sequence $(2)$ (i.e. $x^2_n-2x^2_{n-1}+x_{n-2}^2=2$ for all $n$), satisfies $x_n^2=(x+n)^2$…

In this note, we generalize an ancient Greek inequality about the sequence of primes to the cases of arithmetic progressions even multivariable polynomials with integral coefficients. We also refine Bouniakowsky's conjecture [16] and…

Assume GCH and let $\lambda$ denote an uncountable cardinal. We prove that if $\square_\lambda$ holds, then this may be witnessed by a coherent sequence $< C_\alpha | \alpha < \lambda^+ >$ with the following remarkable guessing property:…

Generalization of the Euler polynomials ${{A}_{n}}\left( x \right)={{\left( 1-x \right)}^{n+1}}\sum\nolimits_{m=0}^{\infty }{{{m}^{n}}{{x}^{m}}}$ are the polynomials ${{\alpha }_{n}}\left( x \right)={{\left( 1-x…

Positive polynomials arising from Muirhead's inequality, from classical power mean and elementary symmetric mean inequalities and from Minkowski's inequality can be rewritten as sums of squares.

We show that the uniform Littlewood Conjecture (ULC) recently introduced by Bandi, Fregoli and Kleinbock is false. More precisely the counterexamples form a residual set, the method further suggests positive Hausdorff dimension. For a…

We study the generalized continued fraction expansions of complex numbers in term of elements from Euclidean subrings, especially Gaussian or Eisenstein integers, in a general framework as pursued in [3] and [1]. We introduce a common…

We prove upper bounds for the mean square of the remainder in the prime geodesic theorem, for every cofinite Fuchsian group, which improve on average on the best known pointwise bounds. The proof relies on the Selberg trace formula. For the…

For each odd prime power q, and each integer k, we determine the sum of the k-th powers of all elements x in F_q for which both x and x+1 are squares in F_q^*. We also solve the analogous problem when one or both of x and x+1 is a…

In this paper, we consider universal sums of generalized polygonal numbers. Fixing $m\in\mathbb{N}_{\geq 3}$, we show two finiteness theorems for universal sums of generalized polygonal numbers whose inputs have a restricted number $L$ of…
