In this paper, we establish hybrid results on Diophantine approximation with primes from short intervals. In particular, we prove the following result in a slightly modified form: If $\alpha$ is an irrational number having a continued…

In his 1994 work, Shallit introduced a rule for determining leap years that generalizes both the historically used Julian calendar and the contemporary Gregorian calendar. This rule depends on a so-called intercalation sequence. According…

Let $\Delta_{\Omega_\varepsilon}$ be the Dirichlet Laplacian in the domain $\Omega_\varepsilon:=\Omega\setminus\left(\cup_i D_{i \varepsilon}\right)$. Here $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ and $\{D_{i \varepsilon}\}_{i}$ is a family of tiny…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the following property of an integer $d\in\mathbb N$ and a pair $(a,A)\in\mathbb R^2$: There exist $\kappa > 0$ and $Q_0\in\mathbb N$ such that for all $\mathbf x\in \mathbb R^d$ and $Q\geq…

Let $f$ be a Steinhaus random multiplicative function, and for $\alpha\in \mathbb{R}$, let $d_\alpha$ denote the $\alpha$-divisor function. For $\alpha \in (1,2)$ we establish that $$ \mathbb{E}\bigg\{\Big|\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\sum_{n\leq x}…

Katugampola's 2015 study of generalized fractional differential operators produced triangular arrays of integer coefficients indexed by a fractional order r and by dimensions n and k, but no combinatorial interpretation has been established…

In this paper we construct approximations for the Caputo derivative of order $1-\alpha,2-\alpha,2$ and $3-\alpha$. The approximations have weights $0.5\left((k+1)^{-\alpha}-(k-1)^{-\alpha}\right)/\Gamma(1-\alpha)$ and…

The irrationality exponent of a real number measures how well that number can be approximated by rationals. Real numbers with irrationality exponent strictly greater than $2$ are transcendental numbers, and form a set with rich fractal…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a strictly convex domain with smooth boundary and diameter $D$. The fundamental gap conjecture claims that if $V:\bar\Omega\to\mathbb{R}$ is convex, then the spectral gap of the Schr\"odinger operator…

We study the sets DF({\beta}) of digit frequencies of {\beta}-expansions of numbers in [0,1]. We show that DF({\beta}) is a compact convex set with countably many extreme points which varies continuously with {\beta}; that there is a full…

Let $\Gamma\subset \bar{\Q}^{\times}$ be a finitely generated multiplicative group of algebraic numbers, let $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_m$ be non-zero algebraic numbers, and let $\varepsilon >0$ be fixed. In this paper, we prove that there…

Much has been written about expansions of real numbers in noninteger bases. Particularly, for a finite alphabet $\{0,1,\dots,\alpha\}$ and a real number (base) $1<\beta<\alpha+1$, the so-called {\em univoque set} of numbers which have a…

We exploit dynamical properties of diagonal actions to derive results in Diophantine approximations. In particular, we prove that the continued fraction expansion of almost any point on the middle third Cantor set (with respect to the…

We prove that the linear delta expansion for energy eigenvalues of the quantum mechanical anharmonic oscillator converges to the exact answer if the order dependent trial frequency $\Omega$ is chosen to scale with the order as…

The distribution of $\alpha p$ modulo one, where $p$ runs over the rational primes and $\alpha$ is a fixed irrational real, has received a lot of attention. It is natural to ask for which exponents $\nu>0$ one can establish the infinitude…

It is commonly believed that the normalized gaps between consecutive ordinates $t_n$ of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line can be arbitrarily large. In particular, drawing on analogies with random matrix theory, it…

This paper is an exposition, with some new applications, of our results on the growth of entropy of convolutions. We explain the main result on $\mathbb{R}$, and derive, via a linearization argument, an analogous result for the action of…

Let $I$ be an independent set drawn from the discrete $d$-dimensional hypercube $Q_d=\{0,1\}^d$ according to the hard-core distribution with parameter $\lambda>0$ (that is, the distribution in which each independent set $I$ is chosen with…

In this short article, we study the extremal behavior $F_\Gamma(n)$ of divisibility functions $D_\Gamma$ introduced by the first author for finitely generated groups $\Gamma$. We show finitely generated subgroups of $\GL(m,K)$ for an…

We consider expanding maps such that the unit interval can be represented as a full symbolic shift space with bounded distortion. There are already theorems about the Hausdorff dimension for sets defined by the set of accumulation points…
