We give an explicit version for van der Corput's $d$-th derivative estimate of exponential sums. $ \textbf{Theorem.}$ Let $X$, and $Y\in\mathbb{R}$ be such that $\lfloor Y\rfloor>d$ where $d\ge3$ is a natural number. Let…
For a composite $n$ and an odd $c$ with $c$ not dividing $n$, the number of solutions to the equation $n+a\equiv b\mod c$ with $a,b$ quadratic residues modulus $c$ is calculated. We establish a direct relation with those modular solutions…
We obtain series expansion formulas for the Hadamard fractional integral and fractional derivative of a smooth function. When considering finite sums only, an upper bound for the error is given. Numerical simulations show the efficiency of…
For irreducible integer polynomials $f(n)=n^d+c$ we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of $k$-th power free values taken by $f(n)$, for $n$ running up to $x$, subject to the condition $k\ge (5d+3)/9$. This improves earlier results…
Asymptotic expansions are derived for associated Legendre functions of degree $\nu$ and order $\mu$, where one or the other of the parameters is large. The expansions are uniformly valid for unbounded real and complex values of the argument…
By using a variant of Kowalski's large sieve for Frobenius in compatible systems, we obtain zero-density estimates for arguments of $\ell$-adic trace functions over finite fields with values in some algebraic subsets of the cyclotomic…
The main object of this paper is to find closed form expressions for finite and infinite sums that are weighted by $\omega(n)$, where $\omega(n)$ is the number of distinct prime factors of $n$. We then derive general convergence criteria…
We show that automatic sequences are asymptotically orthogonal to periodic exponentials of type $e_q(f(n))$, where $f$ is a rational fraction, in the P\'olya-Vinogradov range. This applies to Kloosterman sums, and may be used to study…
In 2018, Luca and Patel conjectured that the largest perfect power representable as the sum of two Fibonacci numbers is $3864^2 = F_{36} + F_{12}$. In other words, they conjectured that the equation…
A solution $(x,y,z) \in \mathbb{Z}^3-\{(0,0,0)\}$ to a generalized Fermat equation \[ Ax^a + By^b + Cz^c = 0, \] is called \emph{primitive} if $\gcd(x,y,z) = 1$. By work of Beukers, we know that in the \emph{spherical} regime (that is, when…
We consider strongly-convex-strongly-concave saddle-point problems with general non-bilinear objective and different condition numbers with respect to the primal and the dual variables. First, we consider such problems with smooth composite…
We describe mean value estimates for exponential sums of degree exceeding 2 that approach those conjectured to be best possible. The vehicle for this recent progress is the efficient congruencing method, which iteratively exploits the…
For given coprime positive integers $a$ and $b$, the classical Frobenius coin problem asked to find the largest number that cannot be expressed in the form $ax+by$ for nonnegative integers $x$ and $y$, also known as the Frobenius number.…
In a recent paper, K. Soundararajan showed, roughly speaking, that the integers smaller than x whose prime factors are less than y are asymptotically equidistributed in arithmetic progressions to modulus q, provided that…
We propose a conjecture for exponential sums which generalizes both a conjecture by Igusa and a local variant by Denef and Sperber, in particular, it is without the homogeneity condition on the polynomial in the phase, and with new…
A detailed analysis of the remainder obtained by truncating the Euler series up to the $n$th-order term is presented. In particular, by using an approach recently proposed by Weniger, asymptotic expansions of the remainder, both in inverse…
Monte Carlo integration is a commonly used technique to compute intractable integrals and is typically thought to perform poorly for very high-dimensional integrals. To show that this is not always the case, we examine Monte Carlo…
Consider the Riemann sum of a smooth compactly supported function h(x) on a polyhedron in R^d, sampled at the points of the lattice Z^d/t. We give an asymptotic expansion when t goes to infinity, writing each coefficient of this expansion…
We derive the first exact, rigorous but practical, globally valid remainder terms for asymptotic expansions about saddles and contour endpoints of arbitrary order degeneracy derived from the method of steepest descents. The exact remainder…
We estimate the sizes of the sumset A + A and the productset A $\cdot$ A in the special case that A = S (x, y), the set of positive integers n less than or equal to x, free of prime factors exceeding y.
