Let $ A_n $ be an $n \times n$ random matrix with i.i.d Bernoulli($p$) entries. For a fixed positive integer $\beta$, suppose $p$ satisfies $$ \frac{ \log(n) }{ n } \le p \le c_\beta $$ where $c_\beta \in ( 0, 1/2 )$ is a…

The "self-power" map $x \mapsto x^x$ modulo $m$ and its generalized form $x \mapsto x^{x^n}$ modulo $m$ are of considerable interest for both theoretical reasons and for potential applications to cryptography. In this paper, we use $p$-adic…

Consider the discrete maximal function acting on finitely supported functions on the integers, \[ \mathcal{C}_\Lambda f(n) := \sup_{\lambda \in \Lambda} | \sum_{p \in \pm \mathbb{P}} f(n-p) \log |p| \frac{e^{2\pi i \lambda p}}{p} |,\] where…

It is well-known that entire functions whose spectrum belongs to a fixed bounded set $S$ admit real uniformly discrete uniqueness sets $\Lambda$. We show that the same is true for much wider spaces of continuous functions. In particular,…

Let $v$ be an odd real polynomial (i.e. a polynomial of the form $\sum_{j=1}^\ell a_jx^{2j-1}$). We utilize sets of iterated differences to establish new results about sets of the form $\mathcal…

We prove that for a large class of functions $P$ and $Q$, there exists $d\in (0,1)$ such that the discrete bilinear Radon transform $$B^{\rm dis}_{P,Q}(f,g)(n)=\sum_{m\in\mathbb{Z}\setminus\{0\}} f(n-P(m))g(n-Q(m))\frac{1}{m}$$ is bounded…

We study the problem of interpolating all values of a discrete signal f of length N when d<N values are known, especially in the case when the Fourier transform of the signal is zero outside some prescribed index set J; these comprise the…

Thanks to its favorable properties, the multivariate normal distribution is still largely employed for modeling phenomena in various scientific fields. However, when the number of components $p$ is of the same asymptotic order as the sample…

This article presents a reformulation of the Theory of Functional Connections: a general methodology for functional interpolation that can embed a set of user-specified linear constraints. The reformulation presented in this paper exploits…

Consider $v$ a Lipschitz unit vector field on $R^n$ and $K$ its Lipschitz constant. We show that the maps $S_s:S_s(X) = X + sv(X)$ are invertible for $0\leq |s|<1/K$ and define nonsingular point transformations. We use these properties to…

Two conjectures, posed by Finch-Smith, Harrington, and Wong in a paper published in Integers in $2023$, are proven. Given a monic biquadratic polynomial $f(x) = x^4 + cx^2 + e$, we prove a formula for the sum of its distinct outputs modulo…

Suppose that $X_A\subset \mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ is a toric variety of codimension two defined by an $(n-2)\times n$ integer matrix $A$, and let $B$ be a Gale dual of $A$. In this paper we compute the Euclidean distance degree and polar degrees…

Let $p \in (0,1/2)$ be fixed, and let $B_n(p)$ be an $n\times n$ random matrix with i.i.d. Bernoulli random variables with mean $p$. We show that for all $t \ge 0$, \[\mathbb{P}[s_n(B_n(p)) \le tn^{-1/2}] \le C_p t + 2n(1-p)^{n} + C_p…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be an arbitrary finite field, and $\mathcal{E}$ be a set of points in $\mathbb{F}_q^d$. Let $\Delta(\mathcal{E})$ be the set of distances determined by pairs of points in $\mathcal{E}$. By using the Kloosterman sums,…

The main results of this paper are twofold: the first one is a matrix theoretical result. We say that a matriz is superregular if all of its minors that are not trivially zero are nonzero. Given a a times b, a larger than or equal to b,…

In this paper we consider a discrete-time dynamical system on the real line by random iteration of two functions. These functions are assumed to satisfy appropriate monotonicity conditions; optionally, a symmetry condition may be imposed.…

Recently, $p$-presentation distances for $p\in [1,\infty]$ were introduced for merge trees and multiparameter persistence modules as more sensitive variations of the respective interleaving distances ($p=\infty)$. It is well-known that…

Matroids generalize the familiar notion of linear dependence from linear algebra. Following a brief discussion of founding work in computability and matroids, we use the techniques of reverse mathematics to determine the logical strength of…

We study the distribution of partial sums of Rademacher random multiplicative functions $(f(n))_n$ evaluated at polynomial arguments. We show that for a polynomial $P\in \mathbb Z[x]$ that is a product of at least two distinct linear…
