The cotangent zeta function is a very interesting object, which is related to partial zeta functions and Hecke $L$-functions of real quadratic fields. Its special values at odd integers greater than 1 are explicitly evaluated by Berndt in…

In this paper we study the distribution of the sequence $(\alpha \zeta^{n})_{n\geq 1}$ mod $1$, where $\alpha,\zeta$ are fixed positive real numbers, with special focus on the accumulation point $0$. For this purpose we introduce…

Let A_N be an N-point distribution in the unit square in the Euclidean plane. We consider the Discrepancy function D_N(x) in two dimensions with respect to rectangles with lower left corner anchored at the origin and upper right corner at…

We consider polynomials $p_n^{\omega}(x)$ that are orthogonal with respect to the oscillatory weight $w(x)=e^{i\omega x}$ on $[-1,1]$, where $\omega>0$ is a real parameter. A first analysis of $p_n^{\omega}(x)$ for large values of $\omega$…

We study the convergence of $Z$-estimators $\widehat \theta(\eta)\in \mathbb R^p$ for which the objective function depends on a parameter $\eta$ that belongs to a Banach space $\mathcal H$. Our results include the uniform consistency over…

Let $C\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ be a convex body, and for a positive integer $N$, let $\mathcal{P}$ be a configuration of $N$ points in $[0,1)^2$. The discrepancy of $\mathcal{P}$ with respect to $C$ is defined by \begin{equation*}…

The Hausdorff dimension of the set of simultaneously tau well approximable points lying on a curve defined by a polynomial P(X)+alpha, where P(X) is a polynomial with integer coefficients and alpha is in R, is studied when tau is larger…

This article revisits the work by Ofer Zeitouni and Steve Zelditch on large deviations for the empirical measures of random orthogonal polynomials with i.i.d. Gaussian complex coefficients, and extends this result to real Gaussian…

In this paper, we study the growth of transcendental entire solutions of linear difference equations \begin{equation} P_m(z)\Delta^mf(z)+\cdots+P_1(z)\Delta f(z)+P_0(z)f(z)=0,\tag{+} \end{equation} where $P_j(z)$ are polynomials for…

We consider partitions of a point set into two parts, and the lengths of the minimum spanning trees of the original set and of the two parts. If $w(P)$ denotes the length of a minimum spanning tree of $P$, we show that every set $P$ of $n…

For a fixed integer $n$, we study the question whether at least one of the numbers $\Re X\omega^k$, $1\leq k\leq n$, is $\varepsilon$-close to an integer, for any possible value of $X\in\mathbb{C}$, where $\omega$ is a primitive $n$th root…

Diophantine approximation explores how well irrational numbers can be approximated by rationals, with foundational results by Dirichlet, Hurwitz, and Liouville culminating in Roth's theorem. Schmidt's subspace theorem extends Roth's results…

In \cite{TallaWaffo2025arxiv2511.02843} we introduced even polynomials $\Xi_n,\Lambda_n\in\mathbb{Q}[x]$ arising from integral representations of $\beta(2n)/\pi^{2n-1}$ and $\zeta(2n+1)/\pi^{2n}$. In this paper we give explicit closed…

In this paper we prove inequalities for multiplicative analogues of Diophantine exponents, similar to the ones known in the classical case. Particularly, we show that a matrix is badly approximable if and only if its transpose is badly…

Let $f = \sum_{k=0}^n \varepsilon_k z^k$ be a random polynomial, where $\varepsilon_0,\ldots ,\varepsilon_n$ are iid standard Gaussian random variables, and let $\zeta_1,\ldots,\zeta_n$ denote the roots of $f$. We show that the point…

Let $P(z)$ be a polynomial of degree $n$ having no zero in $|z|<k$ where $k\geq 1,$ then for every real or complex number $\alpha$ with $|\alpha|\geq 1$ it is known \begin{equation*} \underset{|z|=1}{\max}|D_\alpha P(z)|\leq…

Let $a(1) >0$, $a(n) \ge 0$ for $n \ge 2$ and $a(n) = O(n^\varepsilon)$ for any $\varepsilon >0$, and put $Z(\sigma + it):= \sum_{n=1}^\infty a(n) n^{-\sigma - it}$ where $\sigma , t \in {\mathbb{R}}$. In the present paper, we show that any…

We revisit classic balancing problems for linear extensions of a partially ordered set $P$, proving results that go far beyond many of the best earlier results on this topic. For example, with $p(x\prec y)$ the probability that $x$ precedes…

We have looked at the evaluation of the Riemann Zeta function at odd arguments and have provided a simple formula to approximate the value with exponential convergence. We have compared it with various other formulae present in literature.…

Two permutations $(x_1,\dots,x_w)$ and $(y_1,\dots,y_w)$ are weakly similar if $x_i<x_{i+1}$ if and only if $y_i<y_{i+1}$ for all $1\leqslant i \leqslant w$. Let $\pi$ be a permutation of the set $[n]=\{1,2,\dots, n\}$ and let $wt(\pi)$…
