This article improves the triangle inequality for complex numbers, using the Hermite-Hadamard inequality for convex functions. Then, applications of the obtained refinement are presented to include some operator inequalities. The operator…
In this paper we study a sequence involving the prime numbers by deriving two asymptotic formulas and finding new upper and lower bounds, which improve the currently known estimates.
We present an algorithm for minimizing an objective with hard-to-compute gradients by using a related, easier-to-access function as a proxy. Our algorithm is based on approximate proximal point iterations on the proxy combined with…
We provide a new version of delta theorem, that takes into account of high dimensional parameter estimation. We show that depending on the structure of the function, the limits of functions of estimators have faster or slower rate of…
The main results extend to sums over primes in a short interval earlier estimates by the author for "long" Weyl sums over primes.
We show that if $A$ is a subset of a group of prime order $p$ such that $|2A|<2.7652|A|$ and $|A|<1.25\cdot10^{-6}p$, then $A$ is contained in an arithmetic progression with at most $|2A|-|A|+1$ terms, and $2A$ contains an arithmetic…
The recent technique for estimating lower bounds of the prime counting function $\pi(x)=#\{p \leq x: p\text{ prime}\}$ by means of the irrationality measures $\mu(\zeta(s)) \geq 2$ of special values of the zeta function claims that $\pi(x)…
We prove that given $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $0 < \lambda < 1$, then $\pi(x + x^\lambda) - \pi(x) \sim \displaystyle \frac{x^\lambda}{\log(x)}$. This solves a long-standing problem concerning the existence of primes in short…
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.…
The author gives nontrivial upper and lower bounds for the number of primes in the interval $[x - x^{\theta}, x]$ for some $0.52 \leqslant \theta \leqslant 0.525$, showing that the interval $[x - x^{0.52}, x]$ contains prime numbers for all…
Suppose that a target function is monotonic, namely, weakly increasing, and an available original estimate of this target function is not weakly increasing. Rearrangements, univariate and multivariate, transform the original estimate to a…
Let $V(T)$ denote the number of sign changes in $\psi(x) - x$ for $x\in[1, T]$. We show that $\liminf_{\;T\rightarrow\infty} V(T)/\log T \geq \gamma_{1}/\pi + 1.867\cdot 10^{-30}$, where $\gamma_{1} = 14.13\ldots$ denotes the ordinate of…
We show how information on the uniformity properties of a point set employed in numerical multidimensional integration can be used to improve the error estimate over the usual Monte Carlo one. We introduce a new measure of (non-)uniformity…
When solving a number of problems in prime number theory, it is sufficient that $t(x;q)$ admits an estimate close to this one. The best known estimates for $t(x;q)$ previously belonged to G.~Montgomery, R.~Vaughn, and Z.~Kh.~Rakhmonov. In…
Let $t \in \mathbb{N}$, $\eta >0$. Suppose that $x$ is a sufficiently large real number and $q$ is a natural number with $q \leq x^{5/12-\eta}$, $q$ not a multiple of the conductor of the exceptional character $\chi^*$ (if it exists).…
Soundararajan and Young (2013) proposed a new approach to improve the error term of the prime geodesic theorem for the modular group and actually obtained the exponent 25/36 of the error term. In the present paper, we sharpen it to 9/13.
Multiplicative logarithmic corrections frequently characterize critical behaviour in statistical physics. Here, a recently proposed theory relating the exponents of such terms is extended to account for circumstances which often occur when…
A deep conjecture of Montgomery and Soundararajan on the distribution of prime numbers in short intervals of length $h$ says that the third moment is bounded by $\ll h^{\frac {3}{2}-c}$ for some $c>0$. There is in the literature some…
We examine the prime gaps using a statistical approach. It is first shown that the Andrica's conjecture is true for half or more cases. Using the arguments of averages, it is further shown that Andrica's conjecture is true. We further…
This paper is a corrigendum to the article 'On the ideal theorem for number fields`. The main result of this paper proves to be untrue and is replaced by an estimate of a weighted sum with an improved error term.
