This paper investigates the Erd\H{o}s distinct subset sums problem in $\mathbb{Z}^k$. Beyond the classical variance method, using alternative statistical quantities like $\mathbb{E}[\|X\|_1]$ and $\mathbb{E}[\|X\|_3^3]$ can yield better…

We obtain new bounds of exponential sums modulo a prime $p$ with binomials $ax^k + bx^n$. In particular, for $k=1$, we improve the bound of Karatsuba (1967) from $O(n^{1/4} p^{3/4})$ to $O\left(p^{3/4} + n^{1/3}p^{2/3}\right)$ for any $n$,…

In the 1990's exponential-type error bounds appeared in the theory of radial basis functions. This kind of error bounds is very powerful. However it only measures the difference between the approximant and approximand. Mathematicians and…

We derive a new bound for some bilinear sums over points of an elliptic curve over a finite field. We use this bound to improve a series of previous results on various exponential sums and some arithmetic problems involving points on…

We obtain new bounds on complete rational exponential sums with sparse polynomials modulo a prime, under some mild conditions on the degrees of the monomials of such polynomials. These bounds, when they apply, give explicit versions of a…

Let $R^{\frac{1}{2}}$ be a large integer, and $\omega$ be a nonnegative weight in the $R$-ball $B_R=[0,R]^2$ such that $\omega(B_R)\le R$. For any complex sequence $\{a_n\}$, define the quadratic exponential sum \[…

Let $s(n)$ be the number of nonzero bits in the binary digital expansion of the integer $n$. We study, for fixed $k,\ell,m$, the Diophantine system $$ s(ab)=k, \quad s(a)=\ell,\quad \mbox{and }\quad s(b)=m, $$ in odd integer variables…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a finite subset of $\mathbb{N}$ including $0$ and $f_\mathcal{A}(n)$ be the number of ways to write $n=\sum_{i=0}^{\infty}\epsilon_i2^i$, where $\epsilon_i\in\mathcal{A}$. We consider asymptotics of the summatory…

A famous conjecture of Erd\H os and Straus is that for every integer $n\ge2$, $4/n$ can be represented as $1/x+1/y+1/z$, where $x,y,z$ are positive integers. This conjecture was generalized to $5/n$ by Sierpi\'nski, and then Schinzel…

We present here a method which allows to derive a nontrivial lower bounds for the least common multiple of some finite sequences of integers. We obtain efficient lower bounds (which in a way are optimal) for the arithmetic progressions and…

In this letter, we give a concise, closed-form expression for the differential entropy of the sum of two independent, non-identically-distributed exponential random variables. The derivation is straightforward, but such a concise entropy…

We study sums of a random multiplicative function; this is an example, of number-theoretic interest, of sums of products of independent random variables (chaoses). Using martingale methods, we establish a normal approximation for the sum…

We derive the large $n$ asymptotics of zeros of sections of a generic exponential sum. We divide all the zeros of the $n$-th section of the exponential sum into ``genuine zeros'', which approach, as $n\to\infty$, the zeros of the…

In this paper, we develop a method of evaluating general exponential sums with rational amplitude functions for multiple variables which complements works by T. Cochrane and Z. Zheng on the single variable case. As an application, for…

We obtain nontrivial estimates of quadratic character sums of division polynomials $\Psi_n(P)$, $n=1,2, ...$, evaluated at a given point $P$ on an elliptic curve over a finite field of $q$ elements. Our bounds are nontrivial if the order of…

We obtain a strong invariance principle for nonconventional sums and applying this result we derive for them a version of the law of iterated logarithm, as well as an almost sure central limit theorem. Among motivations for such results are…

We obtain several estimates for bilinear form with exponential sums with binomials $mx^k + nx^\ell$. In particular we show the existence of nontrivial cancellations between such sums when the coefficients $m$ and $n$ vary over rather sparse…

We adapt ideas of Phong, Stein and Sturm and ideas of Ikromov and M\"uller from the continuous setting to various discrete settings, obtaining sharp bounds for exponential sums and the number of solutions to polynomial congruences for…

Let $(X,o)$ be a germ of a 3-dimensional terminal singularity of index $m\geq 2$. If $(X,o)$ has type cAx/4, cD/3-3, cD/2-2, or cE/2, then assume that the standard equation of $X$ in $\mathbb{C}^4/\mathbb{Z}_m$ is non-degenerate with…
