We develop unified and easy to use framework to study robust fully discrete numerical methods for nonlinear degenerate diffusion equations $$ \partial_t u-\mathfrak{L}[\varphi(u)]=f(x,t) \qquad\text{in}\qquad \mathbb{R}^N\times(0,T), $$…
We study generalizations of some results of Jean-Louis Nicolas regarding the relation between small values of Euler's function $\varphi(n)$ and the Riemann Hypothesis. Among other things, we prove that for $1\leq q\leq 10$ and for $q=12,…
The \textit{ternary digits of $2^n$} are a finite sequence of 0s, 1s, and 2s. It is a natural question to ask whether the frequency of any string of 0s, 1s, and 2s in this sequence approaches the same limit for all strings of the same…
Let $\{\cdot\}$ denote the fractional part and $n \geq 1$ be a fixed integer. In this short note, we show for any prime $p$ the one-to-one correspondence $$\sum_{\nu \geq 1} \left\{\frac{n}{p^\nu}\right\} > 1 \quad \iff \quad p \mid…
We prove multiplicative congruences mod $2^{12}$ for George Andrews's partition function, $\overline{\mathcal{EO}}(n)$, the number of partitions of $n$ in which every even part is less than each odd part and only the largest even part…
We study the singular values (and Lyapunov exponents) for products of $N$ independent $n\times n$ random matrices with i.i.d. entries. Such matrix products have been extensively analyzed using free probability, which applies when $n\to…
The following class of sum-product statistics T_n(p)=\frac{1}{k}\sum_{h=1}^p \sum_{(s_1...s_h)\in P(p,h)} \sum_{i_1=l+1}^{i_0} ... \sum_{i_h=l+1}^{i_{h-1}} i_h \prod_{i=i_1}^{i_h} \frac{(Y_{n-i+1,n}-Y_{n-i,n})^{s_i}}{s_i!} (where $l,$…
We consider a model system in which anomalous diffusion is generated by superposition of underlying linear modes with a broad range of relaxation times. In the language of Gaussian polymers, our model corresponds to Rouse (Fourier) modes…
The parity of the partition function $p(n)$ remains strikingly mysterious. Beyond a handful of fragmentary results, essentially nothing is known about the distribution of parity. We prove a uniform result on quadratic progressions. If…
In this article, we will use elementary number theory techniques to investigate a sequence of integers defined by a sifting process called the lucky numbers. Ulam introduced lucky numbers as a sieve-based analogue of prime numbers. We…
The discrete distribution of the length of longest increasing subsequences in random permutations of $n$ integers is deeply related to random matrix theory. In a seminal work, Baik, Deift and Johansson provided an asymptotics in terms of…
We consider the long time behavior of Wong-Zakai approximations of stochastic differential equations. These piecewise smooth diffusion approximations are of great importance in many areas, such as those with ordinary differential equations…
There has been considerable recent study in "sub-diffusion" models that replace the standard parabolic equation model by a one with a fractional derivative in the time variable. There are many ways to look at this newer approach and one…
Let $E$ be a Moran set on $\mathbb{R}^1$ associated with a closed interval $J$ and two sequences $(n_k)_{k=1}^\infty$ and $(\mathcal{C}_k=(c_{k,j})_{j=1}^{n_k})_{k\geq1}$. Let $\mu$ be the infinite product measure (Moran measure) on $E$…
Let $p_k(n)$ be given by the $k$-th power of the Euler Product $\prod _{n=1}^{\infty}(1-q^n)^k=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}p_k(n)q^{n}$. By investigating the properties of the modular equations of the second and the third order under the Atkin…
We prove that the asymptotic of the bulk local statistics in models of random lozenge tilings is universal in the vicinity of straight boundaries of the tiled domains. The result applies to uniformly random lozenge tilings of large…
We study properties of arithmetic sets coming from multiplicative number theory and obtain applications in the theory of uniform distribution and ergodic theory. Our main theorem is a generalization of K\'atai's orthogonality criterion.…
Let $\alpha$ be an irrational number, let $X_1, X_2, \ldots$ be independent, identically distributed, integer-valued random variables, and put $S_k=\sum_{j=1}^k X_j$. Assuming that $X_1$ has finite variance or heavy tails $P (|X_1|>t)\sim…
We study convergence properties of sparse averages of partial sums of Fourier series of continuous functions. By sparse averages, we are considering an increasing sequences of integers $n_0 < n_1 < n_2 < ...$ and looking at…
The pentagonal number theorem is extended to the sequence of the number of integer partitions with all parts equal. The new pentagonal number theorem implies that the distribution of the primes is just a specific detail of the application…
