We obtain finite field analogues of a series of recent results on various mean value theorems for Weyl sums. Instead of the Vinogradov Mean Value Theorem, our results rest on the classical argument of Mordell, combined with several other…
The ternary Goldbach conjecture states that every odd number n>=7 is the sum of three primes. The estimation of sums of the form \sum_{p\leq x} e(\alpha p), \alpha = a/q + O(1/q^2), has been a central part of the main approach to the…
A very short proof of G\"odel's second incompleteness theorem (for set theory, second order arithmetic etc.)
Abel's continuity theorem for power series is a great tool to compute sums and prove properties of special functions. However, apart from two basic examples, this no longer occupies a place in Analysis courses. This note is an invitation to…
The average properties of the well-known Subset Sum Problem can be studied by the means of its randomised version, where we are given a target value $z$, random variables $X_1, \ldots, X_n$, and an error parameter $\varepsilon > 0$, and we…
In this expository note we show how combinatorial Nullstellensatz by N. Alon naturally appears in solutions of elementary problems. Simple ideas gradually and naturally appear in such solutions, thus bringing a reader to generalizations.…
In recent years, maximizing G\'al sums regained interest due to a firm link with large values of $L$-functions. In the present paper, we initiate an investigation of small sums of G\'al type, with respect to the $L^1$-norm. We also consider…
Foulkes' conjecture has several generalisations due to Doran, Abdesselam--Chipalkatti, Bergeron, and Troyka. For the special linear Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_2(\mathbb{C})$, these assert that given $a \le c \le d \le b$ with $ab=cd$, the…
The Taylor expansion is a widely used and powerful tool in all branches of Mathematics, both pure and applied. In Probability and Mathematical Statistics, however, a stronger version of Taylor's classical theorem is often needed, but only…
J. Elton proved that every normalized weakly null sequence in a Banach space admits a subsequence that is nearly unconditional which is a weak form of unconditionality. The notion of near-unconditionality is quantified by a constant…
We give another proof for \[ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^2}=\frac{\pi^2}{6} \] that basically follows from the theory of difference equations.
Let $s$, $\ell$ be two integers such that $2\le s\le \ell-1$, $\ell\ge 3$. We prove that a suitable asymptotic formula for the average number of representations of integers $n=\sum_{i=1}^{s} p_{i}^{\ell}$, where $p_i$, $i=1,\dotsc,s$, are…
This paper considers the problem of making statistical inferences about a parameter when a narrow interval centred at a given value of the parameter is considered special, which is interpreted as meaning that there is a substantial degree…
When it comes to partial numerical verification of the Riemann Hypothesis, one crucial part is to verify the completeness of a list of pre-computed zeros. Turing developed such a method, based on an explicit version of a theorem of…
An alternative form of Fermats equation[1] is proposed. It represents a portion of the identity that includes three terms of Fermats original equation. This alternative form permits an elementary and compact proof of the first case of…
Herbrand's theorem is often presented as a corollary of Gentzen's sharpened Hauptsatz for the classical sequent calculus. However, the midsequent gives Herbrand's theorem directly only for formulae in prenex normal form. In the Handbook of…
We give a survey with some explanations but no proofs of the new notion of b-minimality by the author and F. Loeser [b-minimality, J. Math. Log., 7 no. 2 (2007) 195--227, math.LO/0610183]. We compare this notion with other notions like…
Let $K/k$ be an abelian extension of number fields with a distinguished place of $k$ that splits totally in $K$. In that situation, the abelian rank one Stark conjecture predicts the existence of a unit in $K$, called the Stark unit,…
The purpose of this work is to study an approximation to an abstract Bessel-type problem, which is a generalization of the extension problem associated with fractional powers of the Laplace operator. Motivated by the success of such…
Translation of "Methodus succincta summas serierum infinitarum per formulas differentiales investigandi" (1780). Euler wants to represent some given series of functions S(x)=X(x)+X(x+1)+X(x+2)+etc. in a different way. He writes S as a…
