A Dirichlet-type problem is studied for an equation of even order with variable coefficients. A criterion for the uniqueness of a solution is given. The solution is built in the form of a Fourier series. When justifying the convergence of…
Given $k\in\mathbb N$, we study the vanishing of the Dirichlet series $$D_k(s,f):=\sum_{n\geq1} d_k(n)f(n)n^{-s}$$ at the point $s=1$, where $f$ is a periodic function modulo a prime $p$. We show that if $(k,p-1)=1$ or $(k,p-1)=2$ and…
There have been a number of papers on statistical questions concerning the sign changes of Fourier coefficients of newforms. In one such paper, Linowitz and Thompson gave a conjecture describing when, on average, the first negative sign of…
We study the Fourier spectrum of functions $f\colon \{0,1\}^{mk} \to \{-1,0,1\}$ which can be written as a product of $k$ Boolean functions $f_i$ on disjoint $m$-bit inputs. We prove that for every positive integer $d$, \[ \sum_{S \subseteq…
We construct a measure on the well-approximable numbers whose Fourier transform decays at a nearly optimal rate. This gives a logarithmic improvement on a previous construction of Kaufman.
The recurrence for the $k$-Fibonacci polynomials is usually iterated upwards to positive values of $n$ only. When the recurrence is iterated downwards to $n<0$, there are indices where the polynomials vanish identically. This fact does not…
A local two-dimensional resolution of singularities theorem and arguments based on the Van der Corput lemma are used to give new estimates for the decay rate of the Fourier transform of a locally defined smooth hypersurface measure in R^3,…
We study the Fourier dimensions of graphs of real-valued functions defined on the unit interval [0,1]. Our results imply that the graph of the fractional Brownian motion is almost surely not a Salem set, answering in part a question of…
The discrete data encoded in the power moments of a positive measure, fast decaying at infinity on euclidean space, is incomplete for recovery, leading to the concept of moment indeterminateness. On the other hand, classical integral…
For the Minkowski question mark function $?(x)$ we consider derivative of the function $f_n(x) = \underbrace{?(?(...?}_\text{n times}(x)))$. Apart from obvious cases (rational numbers for example) it is non-trivial to find explicit examples…
Full indefinite Stieltjes moment problem is studied via the step-by-step Schur algorithm. Naturally associated with indefinite Stieltjes moment problem are generalized Stieltjes continued fraction and a system of difference equations,…
We study contraction under a Markov semi-group and influence bounds for functions in $L^2$ tail spaces, i.e. functions all of whose low level Fourier coefficients vanish. It is natural to expect that certain analytic inequalities are…
We consider a generalized version of the sign uncertainty principle for the Fourier transform, first proposed by Bourgain, Clozel and Kahane in 2010 and revisited by Cohn and Gon\c{c}alves in 2019. In our setup, the signs of a function and…
Let $$ T(q)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty d(k) q^k, \quad |q|<1, $$ where $d(k)$ denotes the number of positive divisors of the natural number $k$. We present monotonicity properties of functions defined in terms of $T$. More specifically, we proved…
In this paper we investigate growth properties and the zero distribution of polynomials attached to arithmetic functions $g$ and $h$, where $g$ is normalized, of moderate growth, and $0<h(n) \leq h(n+1)$. We put $P_0^{g,h}(x)=1$ and…
It is an exposition of the work of Mignotte, Shorey, Tijdeman, Vereshchagin and Bacik on decidability of the vanishing problem for linear recurrence sequences of order 4.
For the multiple Fourier series of the periodization of some radial functions on $\mathbb{R}^d$, we investigate the behavior of the spherical partial sum. We show the Gibbs-Wilbraham phenomenon, the Pinsky phenomenon and the third…
We prove, under certain conditions on $(\alpha,\beta)$, that each Schwartz function $f$ such that $f(\pm n^{\alpha}) = \hat{f}(\pm n^{\beta}) = 0, \forall n \ge 0$ must vanish identically, complementing a series of recent results involving…
This paper investigates the analytic properties of the Liouville function's Dirichlet series that obtains from the function F(s)= zeta(2s)/zeta(s), where s is a complex variable and zeta(s) is the Riemann zeta function. The paper employs a…
We establish an exponential error term for the renewal theorem in the context of products of random matrices, which is surprising compared with classical abelian cases. A key tool is the Fourier decay of the Furstenberg measures on the…
