We obtain asymptotic formulae with optimal error terms for the number of lattice points under and near a dilation of the standard parabola, the former improving upon an old result of Popov. These results can be regarded as achieving the…

Let $L$ be a convex cone of real random variables on the probability space $(\Omega,\mathcal{A},P_0)$. The existence of a probability $P$ on $\mathcal{A}$ such that $$ P \sim P_0,\quad E_P \abs{X}< \infty\, \text{ and } \, E_P(X) \leq 0\,…

This paper derives some discrete maximum principles for $P1$-conforming finite element approximations for quasi-linear second order elliptic equations. The results are extensions of the classical maximum principles in the theory of partial…

We will prove several expanders with exponent strictly greater than $2$. For any finite set $A \subset \mathbb R$, we prove the following six-variable expander results: \begin{align*} |(A-A)(A-A)(A-A)| &\gg…

Let f be a cubic polynomial. Then there are infinitely many primes p such that f(p) is square-free.

Given a separable nonconstant polynomial $f(x)$ with integer coefficients, we consider the set $S$ consisting of the squarefree parts of all the rational values of $f(x)$, and study its behavior modulo primes. Fixing a prime $p$, we…

Let chi be the minimum cardinal of a subset of 2^omega that cannot be made convergent by multiplication with a single Toeplitz matrix. By an application of creature forcing we show that s<chi is consistent. We thus answer a question by…

We consider a class of isoperimetric problems on $\mathbb{R}^{N}_{+} $ where the volume and the area element carry two different weights of the type $|x|^lx_N^\alpha$. We solve them in a special case while a more detailed study is contained…

In this paper we prove that the maximum principle in forcing is equivalent to the axiom of choice. The maximum principle is the property of forcing: p ||- exists x theta(x) iff for some name tau p ||- theta(tau). We also look at three…

In this article, we obtain upper bounds on the number of irreducible factors of some classes of polynomials having integer coefficients, which in particular yield some of the well known irreducibility criteria. For devising our results, we…

In this work we use matrix models to study the problem of strength distributions. This is motivated by noticing near exponential fall offs of strengths in calculated magnetic dipole excitations. We emphasize that the quality of the…

We prove the Oppenheim conjecture for indefinite ternary diagonal forms of the type $x^{2}+y^{2} -\alpha z^{2}$ where $ \alpha $ is an irrational number. Our method is explicit in the sense that we are able to construct a solution to the…

Exactly solvable two-dimensional polygon models, counted by perimeter and area, are described by $q$-algebraic functional equations. We provide techniques to extract the scaling behaviour of these models up to arbitrary order and apply them…

In this article we develop a concentration compactness type principle in a variable exponent setup. As an application of this principle we discuss a problem involving fractional `{\it $(p(x),p^+)$-Laplacian}' and power nonlinearities with…

We investigate the Hasse principles for isotropy and isometry of quadratic forms over finitely generated field extensions with respect to various sets of discrete valuations. Over purely transcendental field extensions of fields that…

A sharp bound is obtained for the number of ways to express the monomial $X^n$ as a product of linear factors over $\mathbb{Z}/p^{\alpha}\mathbb{Z}$. The proof relies on an induction-on-scale procedure which is used to estimate the number…

In this paper, a method for constructing a near optimal normal basis for algebraic extensions of a finite field is described. In each extension, except for the squares of basis elements, the product of two distinct normal basis elements can…

In this paper we investigate a class of $2$-Hessian equations and establish a minimum principle for a $P$-function in the sense of L.E. Payne (see R. Sperb \cite{Sp81}). The analysis is based on a sharp matrix inequality providing an…

We give upper bounds on the size of the gap between the constant term and the next non-zero Fourier coefficient of an entire modular form of given weight for \Gamma_0(2). Numerical evidence indicates that a sharper bound holds for the…
