Let $ (H_s(n))_{n \geq 1} $ be an $s-$dimensional generalized Halton's sequence. Let $\emph{D}^{*}_N$ be the discrepancy of the sequence $ (H_s(n) )_{n = 1}^{N} $. It is known that $D^{*}_{N} =O(\ln^s N)$ as $N \to \infty $. In this paper,…

The existence of unimodular forms with small norms on sequence spaces is crucial in a variety of problems in modern analysis. We prove that the infimum of $\left\Vert A\right\Vert $ over all unimodular $d$-linear (complex or real) forms $A$…

We discuss random interpolation in weighted Dirichlet spaces $\mathcal{D}_\alpha$, $0\leq \alpha\leq 1$. While conditions for deterministic interpolation in these spaces depend on capacities which are very hard to estimate in general, we…

For a real-valued sequence $(x_n)_{n=1}^\infty$, denote by $S_N(\ell)$ the number of its first $N$ fractional parts lying in a random interval of size $\ell:=L/N$, where $L=o(N)$ as $N\to\infty$. We study the variance of $S_N(\ell)$ (the…

The metrical theory of the product of consecutive partial quotients is associated with the uniform Diophantine approximation, specifically to the improvements to Dirichlet's theorem. Achieving some variant forms of metrical theory in…

Let (X_n,Y_n) be i.i.d. random vectors. Let W(x) be the partial sum of Y_n just before that of X_n exceeds x>0. Motivated by stochastic models for neural activity, uniform convergence of the form $\sup_{c\in I}|a(c,x)\operatorname…

Fix an integer $r\geq 3$. We consider metric spaces on $n$ points such that the distance between any two points lies in $\{1,..., r\}$. Our main result describes their approximate structure for large $n$. As a consequence, we show that the…

We have developed a heuristic showing that in the Dirichlet divisor problem for the almost all $n \in \mathbb{N}^{+}$: $$ R(n) \leq O(\psi(n)n^{\frac{1}{4}}) $$ where $$ R(n) = \Big\lvert \sum_{x=1}^{n}\Big\lfloor\frac{n}{x}\Big\rfloor -…

We study ternary sequences associated with a multidimensional continued fraction algorithm introduced by the first author. The algorithm is defined by two matrices and we show that it is measurably isomorphic to the shift on the set…

We obtain multidimensional metric uniform distribution results involving sequences in ${\mathbb R}^k$ parametrized by analytic curves. Our theorems extend the classical theorems of Weyl and Koksma in a variety of ways. One of our main…

We study non-stationary averaging processes, where each term of a sequence is a weighted average of previous terms, namely $a_{n+1} = \sum_{j=1}^n p_n(j) a_j$. Our results extend classical theory in two distinct regimes. First, we prove a…

We give an extension of a criterion of van der Corput on uniform distribution of sequences. Namely, we prove that a sequence $x_n$ is uniformly distributed modulo 1 if it is weakly monotonic and satisfies the conditions $\Delta^2x_n\to…

Motivated by the celebrated Beck-Fiala conjecture, we consider the random setting where there are $n$ elements and $m$ sets and each element lies in $t$ randomly chosen sets. In this setting, Ezra and Lovett showed an $O((t \log t)^{1/2})$…

For every $3/4\le \delta, \beta< 1$ satisfying $\delta\leq \beta < \frac{1+\delta}{2}$ we construct a finitely generated group $\Gamma$ and a (symmetric, finitely supported) random walk $X_n$ on $\Gamma$ so that its expected distance from…

We prove that a singular part $\mu_s$ of a measure $\mu$ satisfying ${\cal A}\mu =0$ for a linear partial differential operator ${\cal A}$ defined on $R^d$ has the range in the intersection of kernels of the principal symbol of ${\cal A}$…

We show that sequences of positive integers whose ratios $a_n^2/a_{n+1}$ lie within a specific range are almost uniquely determined by their reciprocal sums. For instance, the Sylvester sequence is uniquely characterized as the only…

Fix a number field $K$. For each nonzero $\alpha \in \mathbb{Z}_K$, let $\nu(\alpha)$ denote the number of distinct, nonassociate irreducible divisors of $\alpha$. We show that $\nu(\alpha)$ is normally distributed with mean proportional to…

In this paper we consider an acceptance-rejection (AR) sampler based on deterministic driver sequences. We prove that the discrepancy of an $N$ element sample set generated in this way is bounded by $\mathcal{O} (N^{-2/3}\log N)$, provided…

We study a finite form of the classical interval discrepancy problem. Starting from the unit interval, one repeatedly splits an existing interval into two until $n$ intervals have been produced. The discrepancy of such a process is the…

Fix a base B and let zeta have the standard exponential distribution; the distribution of digits of zeta base B is known to be very close to Benford's Law. If there exists a C such that the distribution of digits of C times the elements of…
