This version of the paper corrects an inaccuracy in the proof of Theorem 2.9 in the published version. The main results remain unchanged.
Index of notation added. Shortening of some section, simplification of some of the arguments, some small added results and strengthening of thm 3.10. Also a significant re-writing of the last section.
This is a compilation of three separated studies. The main part (Part 3) deals with a unified Picard-Vessiot theory including Picard-Vessiot theories of differential and difference equations. Changes: [v1 -> v2] Corrected descriptions on…
On [3, p. 199] one says "We mention parenthetically that the proof of [99, Lemma 41.3] is incorrect, and we do not know whether it, [99, Theorem 41.5] and [99, Theorem 41.6] are true". The previously cited reference [99] is our reference…
The purpose of [1] was as follows. ?We consider special sets of continuants which occur in applications. For these sets we solve the problem of finding maximal and minimal continuants. There are several methods for finding extremum such as…
This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to an error in Lemma 3, making the (bijective) proof of Theorem 4 and Corollary 5 invalid (symmetry of k-nonnesting and k-noncrossing set partitions).
In this note, the correction to the proof of one theorem in some our previous paper [arXiv:1302.0589] will be given.
The proof of Theorem 11 of the paper M. Scheepers, Remarks on countable tightness, Topology and its Applications 161 (2014), 407 - 432 relies on Lemma 10 of that paper. The offered proof of Lemma 10 had shortcomings, and I was recently…
A paper, entitled "Uniform stabilization for the Timoshenko beam by a locally distributed damping" was published in 2003, in the journal Electronic Journal of Differential Equations. Its title concerns exclusively its Section 3, devoted to…
In this note, we present a few existence theorems for the quotient of a scheme by the action of a group. The first two sections are devoted to Grothendieck topologies and descent theory. The third one is dealing with quotients: we first…
In this paper, we intend to revisit Theorem 2 of [3] formulating it in a way that, weakening the hypotheses and, at the same time, highlighting the richer conclusion allowed by the proof, it can potentially be applicable to a broader range…
In this paper, we study distributional properties of the sequence of partial quotients in the continued fraction expansion of fractions $a/N$, where $N$ is fixed and $a$ runs through the set of mod $N$ residue classes which are coprime with…
A new general and unified method of summation, which is both regular and consistent, is invented. It is based on the idea concerning a way of integers reordering. The resulting theory includes a number of explicit and closed form summation…
Dedekind sums have applications in quite a number of fields of mathematics. Therefore, their distribution has found considerable interest. This article gives a survey of several aspects of the distribution of these sums. In particular, it…
We construct a new type of geometric knot theory, plumbers' knots, and solve the problems of distinguishing and enumerating such knots at a fixed level of complexity. (v2) Minor edits, added theorem 3.18. (v3) Substantial revisions,…
The Poisson distribution of order $k$ is a special case of a compound Poisson distribution. For $k=1$ it is the standard Poisson distribution. Our main result is a proof that for sufficiently small values of the rate parameter $\lambda$,…
Our contribution is a bounded cubic compilation theorem. For each fixed resource parameter $k$, syntactic proof checking at resource level $k$ is faithfully represented by a finite bounded-domain system of cubic polynomial equations. Every…
These notes are devoted to the theory of exponential sums over finite fields. The first chapter recalls some of the number-theoretic interest of such sums. The second chapter discusses the $L$-functions attached to such sums, the "Weil…
An improved estimate is given for $|\theta(x) -x|$, where $\theta(x) = \sum_{p\leq x} \log p$. Three applications are given: the first to arithmetic progressions that have points in common, the second to primes in short intervals, and the…
This is an addendum to a previous article, which aims to provide the proofs of some results in that paper (Theorem 7.5 and Proposition 9.15) which were removed from its final version. The reason for such omission is that these proofs follow…
