In this paper, we apply the Dirichlet convolution method to \begin{equation*} T_{k}(x)=\sum_{n \leq x} d_{k}(n), \end{equation*} for $k\ge 3$, where $d_{k}(n)$ is the number of ways to represent $n$ as a product of $k$ positive integer…

In the study of order estimation of the Riemann zeta-function $ \zeta(s) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty n^{-s} $, solving Lindel\"{o}f hypothesis is an important theme. As one of the relationships, asymptotic behavior of mean values has been studied.…

Using Fermat's two squares theorem and properties of cyclotomic polynomials, we prove assertions about when numbers of the form $a^{n}+1$ can be expressed as the sum of two integer squares. We prove that $a^n + 1$ is the sum of two squares…

All integer solutions $\left(M,a,c\right)$ to the problem of the sums of $M$ consecutive cubed integers $\left(a+i\right)^{3}$ ($a>1$, $0\leq i\leq M-1$) equaling squared integers $c^{2}$ are found by decomposing the product of the…

This paper is closely related to the recent work [BW17] of the same authors and our purpose is to elaborate more on some of the results and methods from [BW17]. More specifically our goal is two-fold. Firstly, we will indicate how a simple…

Let $H_k$ be the set of all normalized primitive holomorphic cusp forms of even integral weight $k\geq 2$ for the full modular group $SL(2, \mathbb{Z})$, and let $j\geq 3$ be any fixed integer. For $f\in H_k$, we write $\lambda_{{\rm{sym}^j…

We consider estimation of a multivariate normal mean vector under sum of squared error loss. We propose a new class of smooth estimators parameterized by \alpha dominating the James-Stein estimator. The estimator for \alpha=1 corresponds to…

We give asymptotic estimates for the mean number of divisors of integers without small prime factors, integers with bounded ratios of consecutive divisors, and for practical numbers. In the last case, this confirms a conjecture of…

We prove an asymptotic formula for a variant of the binary additive divisor problem with linear factors in the arguments, which has a power saving error term and which is uniform in all involved parameters.

This paper is concerned with the diophantine system, $\sum_{i=1}^{s_1} x_i^r=\sum_{i=1}^{s_2} y_i^r,\, r=1,\,2,\,\ldots,\,k, $ where $s_1$ and $s_2$ are integers such that the total number of terms on both sides, that is, $s_1+s_2,$ is as…

We consider the problem of estimating the mean of a normal distribution under the following constraint: the estimator can access only a single bit from each sample from this distribution. We study the squared error risk in this estimation…

The aim of this work is to expose some asymptotic series associated to some expressions involving the volume of the n-dimensional unit ball. All proofs and the methods used for improving the classical inequalities announced in the final…

Given a sequence of $d \times d$ symmetric matrices $\{\mathbf{W}_i\}_{i=1}^n$, and a margin $\Delta > 0$, we investigate whether it is possible to find signs $(\epsilon_1, \dots, \epsilon_n) \in \{\pm 1\}^n$ such that the operator norm of…

We show two asymmetric estimates, one on the number of collinear triples and the other on that of solutions to $(a_1+a_2)(a_1^{\prime\prime\prime}+a_2^{\prime\prime\prime})=(a_1^\prime+a_2^\prime)(a_1^{\prime\prime}+a_2^{\prime\prime})$. As…

Let -\Delta denote the Dirichlet Laplace operator on a bounded open set in \mathbb{R}^d. We study the sum of the negative eigenvalues of the operator -h^2 \Delta - 1 in the semiclassical limit h \to 0+. We give a new proof that yields not…

We prove that a suitable asymptotic formula for the average number of representations of integers $n=p_{1}^{3}+p_{2}^{3}+p_{3}^{3}+p_{4}^{3}$, where $p_1,p_2,p_3,p_4$ are prime numbers, holds in intervals shorter than the the ones…

Given a number field $k$ and a quadratic extension $K_2$, we give an explicit asymptotic formula for the number of isomorphism classes of cubic extensions of $k$ whose Galois closure contains $K_2$ as quadratic subextension, ordered by the…

Let $f_1,\dots,f_m$ be polynomials in $n$ variables with coefficients in a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We estimate the number of points $\underline{x}$ in $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ such that each value $f_i(\underline{x})$ is a nonzero square in…

Thanks to Littlewood (1922) and Ingham (1928), we know the first two terms of the asymptotic formula for the square mean integral value of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta$ on the critical line. Later, Atkinson (1939) presented this formula…

Uniform asymptotic expansions are derived for the zeros of the reverse generalized Bessel polynomials of large degree $n$ and real parameter $a$. It is assumed that $-\Delta_{1} n+\frac{3}{2} \leq a \leq \Delta_{2} n$ for fixed arbitrary…
