We calculate the triple correlations for the truncated divisor sum $\lambda_{R}(n)$. The $\lambda_{R}(n)$'s behave over certain averages just as the prime counting von Mangoldt function $\Lambda(n)$ does or is conjectured to do. We also…

Bernstein's theorem (also called Hausdorff--Bernstein--Widder theorem) enables the integral representation of a completely monotonic function. We introduce a finite completely monotonic function, which is a completely monotonic function…

This work is an extension of previous work by Alazah et al. [M. Alazah, S. N. Chandler-Wilde, and S. La Porte, Numerische Mathematik, 128(4):635-661, 2014]. We split the computation of the Fresnel Integrals into 3 cases: a truncated Taylor…

Let $\Delta(x)$ be the error term of the Dirichlet divisor problem. An asymptotic formula with the error term $O(T^{53/28+\epsilon})$ is established for the integral $\int_1^T\Delta^4(x)dx.$ Similar results are also established for some…

We consider a general linear parabolic problem with extended time boundary conditions (including initial value problems and periodic ones), and approximate it by the implicit Euler scheme in time and the Gradient Discretisation method in…

We find the nodes that minimise divided differences and use them to find the sharp constant in a sublevel set estimate. We also find the sharp constant in the first instance of the van der Corput Lemma using a complex mean value theorem for…

We have devised an alternative approach to sifting integers in the sieve of Eratosthenes that helps refine the error term. Instead of eliminating all multiples of a prime number $p<z$ in the traditional sieve method, our approach solely…

The aim of this paper is to derive a refined first-order expansion formula in Rn, the goal being to get an optimal reduced remainder, compared to the one obtained by usual Taylor's formula. For a given function, the formula we derived is…

The inverse of the error function, $\operatorname{inverf}(x),$ has applications in diffusion problems, chemical potentials, ultrasound imaging, etc. We analyze the derivatives $\frac{d^{n}}{dz^{n}} \operatorname*{inverf}(z) |_{z=0}$, as…

Motivated by recent results, we study sums of the form $S_f(x) = \sum_{n\leq x} f\left(\left\lfloor\frac{x}{n}\right\rfloor \right)$, where $f$ is an arithmetic function and $\left\lfloor\cdot\right\rfloor$ denotes the greatest integer…

We examine the sum of a decaying exponential (depending non-linearly on the summation index) and a Bessel function in the form \[\sum_{n=1}^\infty e^{-an^p}\frac{J_\nu(an^px)}{(an^px/2)^\nu}\qquad (x>0),\] in the limit $a\to0$, where…

In this paper we derive uniform asymptotic expansions for the partial sums of the exponential series. We indicate how this information will be used in a later publication to obtain full and explicitly computable asymptotic expansions with…

We study the average of the product of the central values of two $L$-functions of modular forms $f$ and $g$ twisted by Dirichlet characters to a large prime modulus $q$. As our principal tools, we use spectral theory to develop bounds on…

In this paper, we investigate a weighted divisor problem involving the exponential sum of $D_{(1)}(n)$, the $n$th coefficient in the Dirichlet series expansion of $\zeta'(s)^2$. We establish a truncated Vorono\"{i} type formula for the…

We study exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n=1}^N e^{2\pi i a b^n/m}$ for non-zero integers $a,b,m$. Classically, non-trivial bounds were known for $N\ge \sqrt{m}$ by Korobov, and this range has been extended significantly by Bourgain as…

Let $\Delta(x)$ denote the error term in the Dirichlet divisor problem, and let $E(T)$ denote the error term in the asymptotic formula for the mean square of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$. If $E^*(t) := E(t) - 2\pi\Delta^*(t/(2\pi))$ with $\Delta^*(x)…

We establish a smoothed asymptotic formula for the third moment of quadratic {D}irichlet $L$-functions at the central value. In addition to the main term, which is known, we prove the existence of a secondary term of size $x^{\frac{3}{4}}$.…

We provide very effective methods to convert both asymptotic and explicit numeric bounds on the prime counting function $\psi(x)$ to bounds of the same type on both $\theta(x)$ and $\pi(x)$. This follows up our previous work on $\psi(x)$ in…

Evaluating the statistical dimension is a common tool to determine the asymptotic phase transition in compressed sensing problems with Gaussian ensemble. Unfortunately, the exact evaluation of the statistical dimension is very difficult and…

In this paper we obtain a new constant in the P\'{o}lya-Vinogradov inequality. Our argument follows previously established techniques which use the Fourier expansion of an interval to reduce to Gauss sums. Our improvement comes from…
