Given a sequence of complex numbers {\rho}_n, we study the asymptotic distribution of the sets of parameters c {\epsilon} C such that the quadratic maps z^2 +c has a cycle of period n and multiplier {\rho}_n. Assume 1/n.log|{\rho}_n| tends…

We investigate the level spacing distribution for the quantum spectrum of the square billiard. Extending work of Connors--Keating, and Smilansky, we formulate an analog of the Hardy--Littlewood prime $k$-tuple conjecture for sums of two…

Extending the classical Dirichlet's density theorem on coprime pairs, in this paper we describe completely the probability distribution of the number of coprime pairs in random squares of fixed side length in the lattice $\mathbb{N}^2$. The…

This paper is concerned with the problem of finding two sets of integers, $\{a_1, a_2, \ldots$, $a_m\}$ and $\{b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_n\}$, such that all the $mn$ sums $a_i+b_j, i=1, \ldots, m, j=1, \ldots, n$, are perfect squares. A method is…

We analyze the inequality $\sqrt{P_{k+1}}-\sqrt{P_{k}}<1,\ k\in\mathbb{N}$, discuss the existence of primes on arbitrary intervals $(r,s),\ r<s,\ r,s\in\mathbb{R}$, and finally address the issue of primes between squares of naturals.

We study the spatial distribution of point sets on the sphere obtained from the representation of a large integer as a sum of three integer squares. We examine several statistics of these point sets, such as the electrostatic potential,…

Let $\lfloor t\rfloor$ denote the integer part of $t\in\mathbb{R}$ and $\|x\|$ the distance from $x$ to the nearest integer. Suppose that $1/2<\gamma_2<\gamma_1<1$ are two fixed constants. In this paper, it is proved that, whenever $\alpha$…

Let $D$ be a square-free integer. Under certain conditions on $D$, we characterize non-constant arithmetic progressions of squares over quadratic extensions of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{D})$.

We study the distribution of spacings between squares modulo q, where q is square-free and highly composite, in the limit as the number of prime factors of q goes to infinity. We show that all correlation functions are Poissonian, which…

Major controversy surrounds the use of Elliptic Curves in finite fields as Random Number Generators. There is little information however concerning the "randomness" of different procedures on Elliptic Curves defined over fields of…

Selecting N random points in a unit square corresponds to selecting a random permutation. By putting 5 types of symmetry restrictions on the points, we obtain subsets of permutations : involutions, signed permutations and signed…

The article is devoted to construction of effective procedures of the mean-square approximation for iterated Stratonovich stochastic integrals of multiplicities 1 to 5. We apply the method of generalized multiple Fourier series for…

Consider a string of $n$ positions, i.e. a discrete string of length $n$. Units of length $k$ are placed at random on this string in such a way that they do not overlap, and as often as possible, i.e. until all spacings between neighboring…

For $\alpha>1$, set $\beta=1/(\alpha-1)$. We show that, for every $1<\alpha<(\sqrt{21}+4)/5\approx1.717$, the number of pairs $(m,n)$ of positive integers with $d=\lfloor{n^\alpha}\rfloor - \lfloor{m^\alpha}\rfloor$ is equal to…

We prove asymptotic 0-1 Laws satisfied by diagrams of unimodal sequences of positive integers. These diagrams consist of columns of squares in the plane, and the upper boundary is called the shape. For various types, we show that, as the…

We consider the sum of squares function in the ring $\mathbb{Z}_{n}$. We determine formulae in a number of cases when $n$ is a power of a prime.

The Tribonacci sequence $\mathbb{T}$ is the fixed point of the substitution $\sigma(a,b,c)=(ab,ac,a)$. In this note, we give the explicit expressions of the numbers of distinct squares and cubes in $\mathbb{T}[1,n]$ (the prefix of…

An exponent of distribution 1/16 is established for square-free palindromes. The main input is an upper bound for the number of palindromes, in arithmetic progressions to large moduli, divisible by large squares. Our argument combines a…

Our main result concerns a perturbation of a classic theorem of Khintchine in Diophantine approximation. We give sufficient conditions on a sequence of positive real numbers $(\psi_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ and differentiable functions…
