We consider eigenvalues of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator for Laplacian in the domain (or manifold) with edges and establish the asymptotics of the eigenvalue counting function \begin{equation*} \mathsf{N}(\lambda)= \kappa_0\lambda^d…

We model the field $F_1$ of one element as a lambda ring $\bf Z$ with the canonical lambda structure. We show that then we can calculate the Riemann zeta function of integers in two ways: the first, geometrical, as a zeta function of the…

The L-function $ L(\rho_\lambda, s) $ of an almost everywhere unramified $ \lambda $-adic representation $ \rho_\lambda $ of a global function field $ \mathbb{F}_q(C) $ is known to be a rational function in $ q^{-s} $ satisfying a…

The logarithmic convexity of restrictions of the Beta functions to rays parallel to the main diagonal and the functional equation \[ \phi\left( x+1\right) =\frac{x\left( x+k\right) }{\left( 2x+k+1\right) \left( 2x+k\right) }\phi\left(…

We prove a kind of "almost all symmetry" result for the Liouville function $\lambda(n):=(-1)^{\Omega(n)}$, giving non-trivial bounds for its "symmetry integral", say $I_{\lambda}(N,h)$ : we get $I_{\lambda}(N,h)\ll NhL^3+Nh^{21/20}$, with…

We prove that under very mild conditions for any interpolation formula $f(x) = \sum_{\lambda\in \Lambda} f(\lambda)a_\lambda(x) + \sum_{\mu\in M} \hat{f}(\mu)b_{\mu}(x)$ we have a lower bound for the counting functions $n_\Lambda(R_1) +…

Let $g \geq 2$. A real number is said to be g-normal if its base g expansion contains every finite sequence of digits with the expected limiting frequency. Let \phi denote Euler's totient function, let \sigma be the sum-of-divisors…

We derive a simple functional equation with two catalytic variables characterising the generating function of 3-stack-sortable permutations. Using this functional equation, we extend the 174-term series to 1000 terms. From this series, we…

Let $ x\geq 1 $ be a large number, let $ [x]=x-\{x\} $ be the largest integer function, and let $ \sigma(n)$ be the sum of divisors function. This note presents the first proof of the asymptotic formula for the average order $ \sum_{p\leq…

The suggested approach is based on a known representation of Dirichlet $L$-functions via the incomplete gamma functions. Some properties of the Taylor coefficients of the lower incomplete gamma function at infinity seem to be new.…

For an open set $\Om \subset \R^2$ let $\lambda(\Om)$ denote the bottom of the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian acting in $L^2(\Om)$. Let $w_\Om$ be the torsion function for $\Om$, and let $\|.\|_p$ denote the $L^p$ norm. It is shown…

We investigate the log-concavity on the half-line of the Wright function $\phi(-\alpha,\beta,-x),$ in the probabilistic setting $\alpha\in (0,1)$ and $\beta \ge 0.$ Applications are given to the construction of generalized entropies…

Our objective is to provide an upper bound for the length $\ell_N$ of the longest run of consecutive integers smaller than $N$ which have the same number of divisors. We prove in an elementary way that $\log\ell_N\ll(\log N\log\log…

Let T be a complete, first-order theory in a finite or countable language having infinite models. Let I(T,kappa) be the number of isomorphism types of models of T of cardinality \kappa. We denote by \mu (respectively \hat\mu) the number of…

We have constructed a Carmichael number with 10,333,229,505 prime factors, and have also constructed Carmichael numbers with k prime factors for every k between 3 and 19,565,220. These computations are the product of implementations of two…

This paper is a concise and painless introduction to the $\lambda$-calculus. This formalism was developed by Alonzo Church as a tool for studying the mathematical properties of effectively computable functions. The formalism became popular…

Let $q\ge 2$ and $N\ge 1$ be integers. W. Zhang (2008) has shown that for any fixed $\epsilon> 0$, and $q^{\epsilon} \le N \le q^{1/2 -\epsilon}$, $$ \sum_{\chi \ne \chi_0} |\sum_{n=1}^N \chi(n)|^2 |L(1, \chi)|^2 = (1 + o(1)) \alpha_q q N…

Improving on some recent results of Matom\"aki and of Wright, we show that the number of Carmichael numbers to $X$ in a coprime residue class exceeds $X^{1/(6\log\log\log X)}$ for all sufficiently large $X$ depending on the modulus of the…

We define a counting function that is related to the binomial coefficients. An explicit formula for this function is proved. In some particular cases, simpler explicit formuls are derived. We also derive a formula for the number of…

We define a switch function to be a function from an interval to $\{1,-1\}$ with a finite number of sign changes. (Special cases are the Walsh functions.) By a topological argument, we prove that, given $n$ real-valued functions, $f_1,…
