For a periodic function $f$ with bounded variation and integral zero on its period interval, we show that $\sum_{k=1}^\infty c_k^2 (\log\log k)^\gamma <\infty$, $\gamma>4$ implies the almost everywhere convergence of $\sum_{k=1}^\infty c_k…

Given a periodic function $f$, we study the almost everywhere and norm convergence of series $\sum_{k=1}^\infty c_k f(kx)$. As the classical theory shows, the behavior of such series is determined by a combination of analytic and number…

We show that for a nonnegative monotone sequence $\{c_k\}$ the condition $c_kk\to 0$ is sufficient for uniform convergence of the series $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}c_k\sin k^{\alpha} x$ on any bounded set for $\alpha\in (0,2)$, and for an odd…

Given lacunary sequence of integers, $n_k$, $n_{k+1}/n_k>\lambda>1$, we define a new sequence $\{m_k\}$ formed by all possible $l$-wise sums $\pm n_{k_1}\pm n_{k_2}\pm \ldots\pm n_{k_l}$. We prove if $\lambda>\lambda_l$, then any series…

A landmark theorem in the metric theory of continued fractions begins this way: Select a non-negative real function $f$ defined on the positive integers and a real number $x$, and form the partial sums $s_n$ of $f$ evaluated at the partial…

The following problem is studied in this paper: Which multipliers $\{\lambda_{k, n}\}$ ensure the convergence, as $n\to \infty$, of the linear means of the Fourier series of functions $f\in L_1[-\pi, \pi]$ $$ \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty…

In his 1973 paper Quillen proved a resolution theorem for the K-Theory of an exact category; his proof was homotopic in nature. By using the main result of a paper by Nenashev, we are able to give an algebraic proof of Quillen's Resolution…

In this note we establish simple and verifiable analytical conditions for a power series f in the class K, and its associated Khinchin family, to be Gaussian. We give several moment criteria for general power series with non-negative…

We develop the theory of Diophantine approximation for systems of simultaneously small linear forms, which coefficients are drawn from any given analytic non-degenerate manifolds. This setup originates from a problem of Sprind\v{z}uk from…

It is proved that interval quadrature formula of the form $$ q(f)=\sum\limits_{k=1}^nc_k\frac 1{2h}\int\limits_{x_k-h}^{x_k+h}f(t)dt $$ ($c_k\in \RR, \, x_1+h<x_2-h<x_2+h<...<x_n-h<x_n+h<x_1+2\pi -h$) with equal $c_k$ and equidistant $x_k$…

We compute the best constant in the Khintchine inequality under assumption that the sum of Rademacher random variables is zero.

We consider the problem of minimizing a continuous function f over a compact set K. We analyze a hierarchy of upper bounds proposed by Lasserre in [SIAM J. Optim. 21(3) (2011), pp. 864--885], obtained by searching for an optimal probability…

This paper provides a quantitative version of de Finetti law of large numbers. Given an infinite sequence $\{X_n\}_{n \geq 1}$ of exchangeable Bernoulli variables, it is well-known that $\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^n X_i…

Let $M_n^{(k)}$ denote the $k$th largest maximum of a sample $(X_1,X_2,...,X_n)$ from parent $X$ with continuous distribution. Assume there exist normalizing constants $a_n>0$, $b_n\in \mathbb{R}$ and a nondegenerate distribution $G$ such…

This paper is concerned with superconvergence properties of a class of finite volume methods of arbitrary order over rectangular meshes. Our main result is to prove {\it 2k-conjecture}: at each vertex of the underlying rectangular mesh, the…

For discrete martingale-difference sequences $d=\{d_1,\ldots,d_n\}$ we consider Khintchine type inequalities, involving certain square function $\mathfrak S (d)$ considered by Chang-Wilson-Wolff in 1982. In particular, we prove…

We extend two results about the ordinary continued fraction expansion to best simultaneous Diophantine approximations of vectors or matrices. The first is Levy-Khintchin Theorem about the almost sure growth rate of the denominators of the…

Using cyclotomic multiple zeta values of level $8$, we confirm and generalize several conjectural identities on infinite series with summands involving $\binom{2k}k8^k/(\binom{3k}k\binom{6k}{3k})$. For example, we prove that…

We formulate a plausible conjecture for the optimal Ehrhard-type inequality for convex symmetric sets with respect to the Gaussian measure. Namely, letting $J_{k-1}(s)=\int^s_0 t^{k-1} e^{-\frac{t^2}{2}}dt$ and $c_{k-1}=J_{k-1}(+\infty)$,…

Cauchy's sum theorem of 1821 has been the subject of rival interpretations ever since Robinson proposed a novel reading in the 1960s. Some claim that Cauchy modified the hypothesis of his theorem in 1853 by introducing uniform convergence,…
