Asymptotic formula is derived for the behavior of the fundamental solution of the second-order elliptic self-adjoint operator with a piecewise-smooth coefficient in front of the senior derivatives near the discontinuity surface of the…
We prove that for a positive integer $c$ and any given $\varepsilon$, $0<\varepsilon<1$, the number $N(c)$ of equations $c=a+b$, $a<b$, with positive coprime integers $a$ and $b$, which satisfy the inequality $$c <…
In an earlier paper [4], we derived asymptotic formulas for the number of representations of zero and of large positive integers by the cubic forms in seven variables which can be written as $L_1(x_1,x_2,x_3) Q_1(x_1,x_2,x_3)+…
We consider the Schr\"{o}dinger equation $(i\partial_t+\Delta)u=0$ on an $n$-dimensional simplex with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We use a commutator argument along with integration by parts to obtain an observability asymptotic for any…
Standard techniques for treating linear recurrences no longer apply for quadratic recurrences. It is not hard to determine asymptotics for a specific parametrized model over a wide domain of values (all $p \neq 1/2$ here). The gap between…
The coefficient sequences of multivariate rational functions appear in many areas of combinatorics. Their diagonal coefficient sequences enjoy nice arithmetic and asymptotic properties, and the field of analytic combinatorics in several…
A natural number N is said to be palindromic if its binary representation reads the same forwards and backwards. In this paper we study the quotients of two palindromic numbers and answer some basic questions about the resulting sets of…
We give an elementary proof of a recent result by Fishman, Kleinbock, Merrill and Simmons about rational points on quadratic surfaces.
In this note a critical point result for differentiable functionals is exploited in order to prove that a suitable class of one-dimensional fractional problems admits at least one non-trivial solution under an asymptotical behaviour of the…
For $d\geq 3$ we give an example of a constant coefficient surjective differential operator $P(D):\mathscr{D}'(X)\rightarrow\mathscr{D}'(X)$ over some open subset $X\subset\R^d$ such that…
For an imaginary quadratic field $k$ of class number $>1$, we prove that there are only finitely many isomorphism classes of rational indefinite quaternion division algebras $B$ such that the associated Shimura curve $M^B$ has $k$-rational…
We improve the standard Weyl estimate for quartic exponential sums in which the argument is a quadratic irrational. Specifically we show that \[\sum_{n\le N} e(\alpha n^4)\ll_{\ep,\alpha}N^{5/6+\ep}\] for any $\ep>0$ and any quadratic…
Let $p$ be a prime and $n$ a positive integer such that $\sqrt{\frac p2} + 1 \leq n \leq \sqrt{p}$. For any arithmetic progression $A$ of length $n$ in $\mathbb{F}_p$, we establish an asymptotic formula for the number of directions…
Let $\alpha=0.a_1a_2a_3\ldots$ be an irrational number in base $b>1$, where $0\leq a_i<b$. The number $\alpha \in (0,1)$ is a \textit{normal number} if every block $(a_{n+1}a_{n+2}\ldots a_{n+k})$ of $k$ digits occurs with probability…
We give an asymptotic for the number of prime solutions to $Q(x_1,\dots, x_8) = N$, subject to a mild non-degeneracy condition on the homogeneous quadratic form $Q$. The argument initially proceeds via the circle method, but this does not…
In the article [PV] a general procedure to study solutions of the equations $x^4-dy^2=z^p$ was presented for negative values of $d$. The purpose of the resent article is to extend our previous results to positive values of $d$. On doing so,…
We find an asymptotic formula for the number of rational points near planar curves. More precisely, if $f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is a sufficiently smooth function defined on the interval $[\eta,\xi]$, then the number of rational…
Let $p/q$ ($p, q \in \mathbb{N}^*$) be a positive rational number such that $p > q^2$. We show that for any $\epsilon > 0$, there exists a set $A(\epsilon) \subset [0, 1[$, with finite border and with Lebesgue measure $< \epsilon$, for…
A (positive definite and non-classic integral) quadratic form is called strongly $s$-regular if it satisfies a strong regularity property on the number of representations of squares of integers. In this article, we prove that for any…
