By using the squared slack variables technique, we demonstrate that the solution set of a general polynomial complementarity problem is the image, under a specific projection, of the set of real zeroes of a system of polynomials. This paper…

Assuming that the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) holds, we prove an explicit formula for the number of representations of an integer as a sum of $k\geq 5$ primes. Our error terms in such a formula improve by some logarithmic factors…

For every positive integer h, the representation function of order h associated to a subset A of the integers or, more generally, of any group or semigroup X, counts the number of ways an element of X can be written as the sum (or product,…

A finite number of rational functions are compatible if they satisfy the compatibility conditions of a first-order linear functional system involving differential, shift and q-shift operators. We present a theorem that describes the…

One may consider the generalization of Jacobi polynomials and the Jacobi function of the second kind to a general function where the index is allowed to be a complex number instead of a non-negative integer. These functions are referred to…

An approximation method is presented for probabilistic inference with continuous random variables. These problems can arise in many practical problems, in particular where there are "second order" probabilities. The approximation, based on…

We propose higher-order generalizations of Jacobsthal's $p$-adic approximation for binomial coefficients. Our results imply explicit formulae for linear combinations of binomial coefficients $\binom{ip}{p}$ ($i=1,2,\dots$) that are…

Let $h\geq 2$. For $A\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ write \[ r_{A,h}(n) := \#\{(x_1,\ldots,x_h)\in A^h ~|~ x_1+\cdots+x_h=n\}. \] We prove a general probabilistic subbasis principle: assuming an asymptotic for a weighted $h$-fold representation sum…

Let $[\, \cdot\,]$ be the floor function. In this paper we show that every sufficiently large positive integer $N$ can be represented in the form \begin{equation*} N=[p_1\log p_1]+[p_2\log p_2]+[p_3\log p_3], \end{equation*} where $p_1,\,…

We study approximation by arbitrary linear combinations of $n$ translates of a single function of periodic functions. We construct some methods of this approximation for functions in a class induced by the convolution with a given function,…

In this note we solve a problem about the rational representablility of hupergeometric terms which represent hypergeometric sums. This problem was proposed by Koornwinder in [4].

We demonstrate that any function $f$ from a finite set $Y$ to itself can be represented linearly. Specifically, we prove the existence of an injective map $j$ from $Y$ into a modular ring $\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}$ and a constant $a \in…

The representation for the sharp constant ${\rm K}_{n, p}$ in an estimate of the modulus of the $n$-th derivative of an analytic function in the upper half-plane ${\mathbb C}_+$ is considered. It is assumed that the boundary value of the…

We give an asymptotic formula for correlations \[ \sum_{n\le x}f_1(P_1(n))f_2(P_2(n))\cdot \dots \cdot f_m(P_m(n))\] where $f\dots,f_m$ are bounded "pretentious" multiplicative functions, under certain natural hypotheses. We then deduce…

Any continuous piecewise-linear function $F\colon \mathbb{R}^{n}\to \mathbb{R}$ can be represented as a linear combination of $\max$ functions of at most $n+1$ affine-linear functions. In our previous paper [``Representing piecewise linear…
