We prove an upper bound for the exponential sum associated to a localized $k-$divisor function, i.e., the counting function of the number of ways to write a positive integer $n$ as a product of $k\ge 2$ positive integers, each of them…
In this paper, we apply high level versions of Jacobi's derivative formula to number theory such as quarternary quadratic forms and convolution sums of some arithmetical functions.
The decomposition of the polynomials on the quaternionic unit sphere in $\Hd$ into irreducible modules under the action of the quaternionic unitary (symplectic) group and quaternionic scalar multiplication has been studied by several…
In this paper, we study sums of shifted products $\sum\limits_{n \leq x} F(n) G(n-h)$ for any $|h| \leq x/2$ and arithmetic functions $F=f*1$ and $G=g*1$, with $f$ and $g$ small. We obtain asymptotic formula for different orders of…
We describe mean value estimates for exponential sums of degree exceeding 2 that approach those conjectured to be best possible. The vehicle for this recent progress is the efficient congruencing method, which iteratively exploits the…
In this article, we obtain two interesting general inequalities concerning Riemman sums of convex functions, which in particular, sharpen Alzer's inequality and give a suitable converse for it.
In this paper, we study the average of shifted sum for general multiplicative functions. As applications, we prove non-trivial upper bounds for weighted averages of shifted convolutions involving $GL(2)$ and $GL(3)$ Fourier coefficients…
This paper deals with more refinements of inequalities related to deviations from Mean Value involving superquadratic and uniformly convex functions.
Some binary quadratic operads are endowed with anticyclic structures and their characteristic functions as anticyclic operads are determined, or conjectured in one case.
We embed the somewhat unusual multiplicative function, which was serendipitously discovered in 2010 during a study of mutually unbiased bases in the Hilbert space of quantum physics, into two families of multiplicative functions that we…
We study arithmetic inequalities for multiplicative, sub(super)-multiplicative, sub(super)-homogeneous functions. Applications for the classical arithmetic functions are pointed out.
Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be sets of polynomials of degree $n$ over a finite field. We show, that if $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ are large enough, then $A+B$ has an irreducible divisor of large degree for some…
We study two new classes of sums with inverse binomial coefficients and harmonic numbers. In addition we establish recursive solutions to the following power sums \begin{equation*} U_d(n) = \sum_{k=1}^n \frac{2^{2k}}{\binom{2k}{k}} \cdot…
We study a function, which is a weighted sum of the squares of the distances of an arbitrary point to the sidelines of a triangle. The given weights, considered as barycentric coordinates, determine a point $M$. We prove that the function…
We heuristically study the shifted convolution $\sum_{n\le X} \tau_k(n) \tau_\ell(n+h)$ using a normalized version of Ramanujan-Fourier expansions for $\tau_k(n)$ and verify they produce the expected answer.
We survey various classical results on invariants of polynomials, or equivalently, of binary forms, focussing on explicit calculations for invariants of polynomials of degrees 2, 3, 4.
We study flat deformations of quotients of a polynomial algebra in a class of graded commutative associative algebras. Functional equations and their solutions in terms of theta functions play important role in these studies. An analog of…
We provide a systematic method to compute arithmetic sums including some previously computed by Alaca, Alaca, Besge, Cheng, Glaisher, Huard, Lahiri, Lemire, Melfi, Ou, Ramanujan, Spearman and Williams. Our method is based on quasimodular…
The number of tuples with positive integers pairwise relatively prime to each other with product at most $n$ is considered. A generalization of $\mu^{2}$ where $\mu$ is the M\"{o}bius function is used to formulate this divisor sum and…
In this paper, we initiate a study of a new problem termed function computation on the reconciled data, which generalizes a set reconciliation problem in the literature. Assume a distributed data storage system with two users $A$ and $B$.…
