We obtain asymptotic bounds on the number of natural numbers less than $X$ satisfying $\gcd{\left(n,\lfloor P(n) \rfloor\right)}=1$, under some diophantine conditions on the coefficient of $x$ in $P$, and show that the density of such…

We investigate two inequalities of Bugeaud and Laurent, each involving triples of classical exponents of Diophantine approximation associated to $\ux\in\mathbb{R}^n$. We provide a complete description of parameter triples that admit…

Consider two series $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{\sin^n\pi\theta n}{n^\alpha},\quad\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{\cos^n\pi\theta n}{n^\alpha}.$$ We show that number-theoretical properties of $\theta$ have a strong effect on the convergence when…

The exceptional $X_{1}$-Jacobi differential expression is a second-order ordinary differential expression with rational coefficients; it was discovered by G\'{o}mez-Ullate, Kamran and Milson in 2009. In their work, they showed that there is…

A fundamental challenge within the metric theory of continued fractions involves quantifying sets of real numbers, when represented using continued fractions, exhibit partial quotients that grow at specific rates. For any positive function…

In this paper, we use methods of exponential sums to derive a formula for estimating effective upper bounds of $|\zeta'(1/2+it)|$. Different effective upper bounds can be obtained by choosing different parameters.

We prove analogs of the Bezout and the Bernstein-Kushnirenko-Khovanskii theorems for systems of algebraic differential conditions over differentially closed fields. Namely, given a system of algebraic conditions on the first $l$ derivatives…

We obtain a first non-trivial estimate for the sum of dilates problem in the case of groups of prime order, by showing that if $t$ is an integer different from $0, 1$ or -1 and if $\A \subset \Zp$ is not too large (with respect to $p$),…

We consider the sequence of polynomials $W_n(x)$ defined by the recursion $W_n(x)=(ax+b)W_{n-1}(x)+dW_{n-2}(x)$, with initial values $W_0(x)=1$ and $W_1(x)=t(x-r)$, where $a,b,d,t,r$ are real numbers, $a,t>0$, and $d<0$. We show that every…

The best polynomial approximation and Chebyshev approximation are both important in numerical analysis. In tradition, the best approximation is regarded as more better than the Chebyshev approximation, because it is usually considered in…

We study rather general multiple zeta-functions whose denominators are given by polynomials. The main aim is to prove explicit formulas for the values of those multiple zeta-functions at non-positive integer points. We first treat the case…

The (strong) Bruhat order for permutations provides a partial ordering defined as follows: two permutations are comparable if one can be obtained from the other by a sequence of adjacent transpositions that each increase the number of…

Given a subset $S=\{s_0, s_1\}$ of the complex plane with two points and an infinite subset ${\mathscr S}$ of $S\times {\mathbb N}$, where ${\mathbb N}=\{0,1,2,\dots\}$ is the set of nonnegative integers, we ask for a lower bound for the…

We provide an upper bound on the uniform exponent of approximation to a triple (xi, xi^2, xi^3) by rational numbers with the same denominator, valid for any transcendental real number xi. This upper bound refines a previous result of…

Let G be a group which has for all n a finite number r_n(G) of irreducible complex linear representations of dimension n. Let $\zeta(G,s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} r_n(G) n^{-s}$ be its representation zeta function. First, in case G is a…

We present a general approach for proving the optimality of the exponents on weighted estimates. We show that if an operator $T$ satisfies a bound like $$ \|T\|_{L^{p}(w)}\le c\, [w]^{\beta}_{A_p} \qquad w \in A_{p}, $$ then the optimal…

Let $P(x):=a_d x^d+\cdots+a_0\in\mathbb{Q}[x]$, $a_d>0$, be a polynomial of degree $d\geq 2$. Let $(x_n)$ be a sequence of integers satisfying \begin{equation*} x_{n+1}=P(x_n)\mbox{for all}\quad n=0,1,2\ldots,\quad\mbox{and} \quad…

It has been conjectured for some time that, for any integer n\ge 2, any real number \epsilon >0 and any transcendental real number \xi, there would exist infinitely many algebraic integers \alpha of degree at most n with the property that…

We prove that the average size of a mixed character sum $$\sum_{1\le n \le x} \chi(n) e(n\theta) w(n/x)$$ (for a suitable smooth function $w$) is on the order of $\sqrt{x}$ for all irrational real $\theta$ satisfying a weak Diophantine…

New expansions for some functions related to the Zeta function in terms of the Pochhammer's polynomials are given (coefficients b(k), d(k), d_(k) and d__(k). In some formal limit our expansion b(k) obtained via the alternating series gives…
