We study the Lambert series $\mathscr{L}_q(s,x) = \sum_{k=1}^\infty k^s q^{k x}/(1-q^k)$, for all $s \in \mathbb{C}$. We obtain the complete asymptotic expansion of $\mathscr{L}_q(s,x)$ near $q=1$. Our analysis of the Lambert series yields…

By application of the theory for second-order linear differential equations with two turning points developed in [Olver F.W.J., Philos. Trans. Roy. Soc. London Ser. A 278 (1975), 137-174], uniform asymptotic approximations are obtained in…

Let $Z_1,\ldots,Z_n$ be i.i.d. isotropic random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^p$, and $T \subset \mathbb{R}^p$ be a compact set. A classical line of empirical process theory characterizes the size of the suprema of the quadratic process…

We generalize Newton-type methods for minimizing smooth functions to handle a sum of two convex functions: a smooth function and a nonsmooth function with a simple proximal mapping. We show that the resulting proximal Newton-type methods…

We studies the Newton polygon for the L-function of toric exponential sums attached to a family of two variable generalized hyperkloosterman sum,$f_{t}(x,y)=x^{n}+y+\frac{t}{xy}$ with $t$ the parameter. The explicit Newton polygon is…

We introduce a new class of quadratic functions based on a hierarchy of linear time-varying (LTV) dynamical systems. These quadratic functions in the higher order space can be also seen as a non-homogeneous polynomial Lyapunov functions for…

We show that a certain two-dimensional family of Weyl sums of length $P$ takes values as large as $P^{3/4 + o(1)}$ on almost all linear slices of the unit torus, contradicting a widely held expectation that Weyl sums should exhibit…

We determine the full set of coefficients for the completely general 4-loop gauge and 3-loop Yukawa $ \beta $-functions for the most general renormalizable four-dimensional theories. Using a complete parametrization of the $ \beta…

The Shapley-Folkman theorem shows that Minkowski averages of uniformly bounded sets tend to be convex when the number of terms in the sum becomes much larger than the ambient dimension. In optimization, Aubin and Ekeland [1976] show that…

We advance a variational method to prove qualitative properties such as symmetries, monotonicity, upper and lower bounds, sign properties, and comparison principles for a large class of doubly-nonlinear evolutionary problems including…

A local UV cutoff $\Lambda(x)$ transforming under Weyl rescalings allows to construct Weyl invariant kinetic terms for scalar fields including Wilsonian cutoff functions. First we consider scalar fields in curved space-time with local bare…

In the line of classical work by Hardy, Littlewood and Wilton, we study a class of functional equations involving the Gauss transformation from the theory of continued fractions. This allows us to reprove, among others, a convergence…

In this note, an upper bound for the sum of fractional parts of certain smooth functions is established. Such sums arise naturally in numerous problems of analytic number theory. The main feature is here an improvement of the main term due…

A new method of approximation scheme with potential application to a general interacting quantum system is presented. The method is non-perturbative, self- consistent, systematically improvable and uniformly applicable for arbitrary…

Successive quadratic approximations, or second-order proximal methods, are useful for minimizing functions that are a sum of a smooth part and a convex, possibly nonsmooth part that promotes regularization. Most analyses of iteration…

Let $\Theta_{3} (z):= \sum_{n\in\mathbb{Z}} \exp (i \pi n^2 z)$ be the standard Jacobi theta function, which is holomorphic and zero-free in the upper half-plane $\mathbb{H}$, and takes positive values along the positive imaginary axis. We…

We establish universal approximation theorems for infinite-dimensional geometric rough paths, i.e., we show that continuous functions on the space of infinite-dimensional weakly geometric H\"older continuous rough paths can be approximated…

Finite-state dimension, introduced early in this century as a finite-state version of classical Hausdorff dimension, is a quantitative measure of the lower asymptotic density of information in an infinite sequence over a finite alphabet, as…

This article is a review of functional $f(R)$ approximations in the asymptotic safety approach to quantum gravity. It mostly focusses on a formulation that uses a non-adaptive cutoff, resulting in a second order differential equation. This…

Consider systems of equations $q_i(x)=0$, where $q_i: {\Bbb R}^n \longrightarrow {\Bbb R}$, $i=1, \ldots, m$, are quadratic forms. Our goal is to tell efficiently systems with many non-trivial solutions or near-solutions $x \ne 0$ from…
