This note shows that under $(p,\alpha, N)\in (1,\infty)\times(0,2)\times\mathbb Z_+$ the fractional order differential inequality $$ (\dagger)\quad u^p \le (-\Delta)^{\frac{\alpha}{2}} u\quad\hbox{in}\quad\mathbb R^{N} $$ has the property…

The discrepancy of a binary string refers to the maximum (absolute) difference between the number of ones and the number of zeroes over all possible substrings of the given binary string. We provide an investigation of the discrepancy of…

An $(a,b)$-difference necklace of length $n$ is a circular arrangement of the integers $0, 1, 2, \ldots , n-1$ such that any two neighbours have absolute difference $a$ or $b$. We prove that, subject to certain conditions on $a$ and $b$,…

The discrepancy of a sequence measures how quickly it approaches a uniform distribution. Given a natural number $d$, any collection of one-dimensional so-called low discrepancy sequences $\left\{S_i:1\le i \le d\right\}$ can be concatenated…

By a result of Heinrich, Novak, Wasilkowski and Wo\'zniakowski the inverse of the star discrepancy $n(d,\varepsilon)$ satisfies $n(d,\varepsilon)\leq c_{\abs}d\varepsilon^{-2}$. Equivalently for any $N$ and $d$ there exists a set of $N$…

We show that any DNNF circuit that expresses the set of linear orders over a set of $n$ candidates must be of size $2^{\Omega(n)}$. Moreover, we show that there exist DNNF circuits of size $2^{O(n)}$ expressing linear orders over $n$…

\noindent In this article, we determine all the integers $c$ having at least two representations as difference between two linear recurrent sequences. This is a variant of the Pillai's equation. This equation is an exponential Diophantine…

We prove the ACC for minimal log discrepancies on an arbitrary fixed threefold.

Given $\boldsymbol{\alpha} \in [0,1]^d$, we estimate the smooth discrepancy of the Kronecker sequence $(n \boldsymbol{\alpha} \,\mathrm{mod}\, 1)_{n\geq 1}$. We find that it can be smaller than the classical discrepancy of $\textbf{any}$…

We prove that every partially ordered set on $n$ elements contains $k$ subsets $A_{1},A_{2},\dots,A_{k}$ such that either each of these subsets has size $\Omega(n/k^{5})$ and, for every $i<j$, every element in $A_{i}$ is less than or equal…

For mappings of finite distortion actively investigated last 15--20 years, problems of a so-called lower order are discussed. It is proved that, mappings with finite length distortion $f:D\rightarrow {\Bbb R}^n,$ $n\ge 2,$ which have…

Given a real number $\lambda > 1$, we say that $d|n$ is a $\lambda$-middle divisor of $n$ if $$ \sqrt{\frac{n}{\lambda}} < d \leq \sqrt{\lambda n}. $$ We will prove that there are integers having an arbitrarily large number of…

Celebrated theorems of Roth and of Matou\v{s}ek and Spencer together show that the discrepancy of arithmetic progressions in the first $n$ positive integers is $\Theta(n^{1/4})$. We study the analogous problem in the $\mathbb{Z}_n$ setting.…

We prove nilpotency results for Lie algebras over an arbitrary field admitting a derivation, which satisfies a given polynomial identity $r(t)=0$. For the polynomial $r=t^n-1$ we obtain results on the nilpotency of Lie algebras admitting a…

We give a construction of an absolutely normal real number $x$ such that for every integer $b $ greater than or equal to $2$, the discrepancy of the first $N$ terms of the sequence $(b^n x \mod 1)_{n\geq 0}$ is of asymptotic order…

Let $A\subset [1,x]$ be a non-empty set of primes with $|A|= \alpha x(\log x)^{-1}$. We prove that there exist absolute constants $c_1,c_2>0$ such that, as $x$ gets sufficiently large, we have $|A+A|\geq c_1(\log x)(\log \log…

We study some Dirichlet problem for a $p$--Laplacian type operator in the setting of Orlicz--Zygmund space $L^q\log^{-\alpha}L(\Omega,\mathbb R^N)$, $q >1$ and $\alpha>0$. More precisely, our aim is to establish which assuptions on the…

M. B. Levin used Sobol-Faure low discrepancy sequences with Pascal matrices modulo $2$ to construct, for each integer $b$, a real number $x$ such that the first $N$ terms of the sequence $(b^n x \mod 1)_{n\geq 1}$ have discrepancy $O((\log…

The conjectured Robin inequality for an integer $n>7!$ is $\sigma(n)<e^\gamma n \log \log n,$ where $\gamma$ denotes Euler constant, and $\sigma(n)=\sum_{d | n} d $. Robin proved that this conjecture is equivalent to Riemann hypothesis…

The metal-poor damped Lyman alpha (DLA) system at z = 3.04984 in the QSO SDSSJ1419+0829 has near-ideal properties for an accurate determination of the primordial abundance of deuterium, (D/H)_p. We have analysed a high-quality spectrum of…
