We use a generalization of Vinogradov's mean value theorem of S. Parsell, S. Prendiville and T. Wooley and ideas of W. Schmidt to give nontrivial bounds for the number of solutions to polynomial congruences, for arbitrary polynomials, when…

We use new bounds of double exponential sums with ratios of integers from prescribed intervals to get an asymptotic formula for the number of solutions to congruences $$ \sum_{j=1}^n a_j x_jy_j^{-1} \equiv a_0 \pmod p, $$ with variables…

For integer $k \geq 0$, let $S_k$ denote the sum of the $k$th powers of the first $n$ positive integers $1^k + 2^k + \cdots + n^k$. For any given $k$, the power sum $S_k$ can in principle be determined by differentiating $k$ times (with…

We obtain finite field analogues of a series of recent results on various mean value theorems for Weyl sums. Instead of the Vinogradov Mean Value Theorem, our results rest on the classical argument of Mordell, combined with several other…

Let $s$, $\ell$ be two integers such that $2\le s\le \ell-1$, $\ell\ge 3$. We prove that a suitable asymptotic formula for the average number of representations of integers $n=\sum_{i=1}^{s} p_{i}^{\ell}$, where $p_i$, $i=1,\dotsc,s$, are…

We investigate the Waring-Goldbach problem of representing a positive integer $n$ as the sum of $s$ $k$th powers of almost equal prime numbers. Define $s_k=2k(k-1)$ when $k\ge 3$, and put $s_2=6$. In addition, put $\theta_2=\frac{19}{24}$,…

Let $k\ge 1$ be an integer. We prove that a suitable asymptotic formula for the average number of representations of integers $n=p_{1}^{k}+p_{2}^{2}+p_{3}^{2}$, where $p_1,p_2,p_3$ are prime numbers, holds in intervals shorter than the ones…

In 2000, Vu proved that the number of solutions of $x_1^k + \cdots + x_s^k = N$ in an arbitrary box satisfies the expected Hardy--Littlewood upper bound with a power-saving error term, for $s \geq O(8^k k^3)$. We show that one may take…

We investigate sums of mixed powers involving two squares and three biquadrates. In particular, subject to the truth of the Generalised Riemann Hypothesis and the Elliott-Halberstam Conjecture, we show that all large natural numbers n with…

For integer $k \geq 1$, let $S_k(n)$ denote the sum of the $k$th powers of the first $n$ positive integers. In this paper, we derive a new formula expressing $2^{2k}$ times $S_{2k}(n)$ as a sum of $k$ terms involving the numbers in the…

For integers $n,k \geq 1$, let $S_k(n)$ denote the power sum $1^k +2^k + \cdots + n^k$. In this note, we first recall the minimal recurrence relation connecting $S_k(n)$ and $S_{k-1}(n)$ established by Abramovich (1973). We then discuss an…

In this paper, using combinatorial and analytic methods, we prove an exact calculating formula on the $2m$-th power mean value of the generalized quadratic Gauss sums for $m\geq 2$. This solves a conjecture of He and Zhang [`On the $2k$-th…

We study an apparently new question about the behaviour of Weyl sums on a subset $\mathcal{X}\subseteq [0,1)^d$ with a natural measure $\mu$ on $\mathcal{X}$. For certain measure spaces $(\mathcal{X}, \mu)$ we obtain non-trivial bounds for…

We give an asymptotic formula for the mean value of the number of representations of an integer as sum of two squares known as the Gauss circle problem.

We give an upper bound for the minimum $s$ with the property that every sufficiently large integer can be represented as the sum of $s$ positive $k$-th powers of integers represented as the sum of three positive cubes for the cases $2\leq…

In this paper we study Weyl sums over friable integers (more precisely $y$-friable integers up to $x$ when $y = (\log x)^C$ for a large constant $C$). In particular, we obtain an asymptotic formula for such Weyl sums in major arcs,…

We obtain new mean value theorems for exponential sums with very smooth numbers, which provide a power saving against the trivial bound in region where previous bounds do not apply.

This paper is concerned with the asymptotic behavior of sums of terms which are a test function f evaluated at successive increments of a discretely sampled semimartingale. Typically the test function is a power function (when the power is…
