A uniformly bounded complete orthonormal system of functions $\Theta =\{ \theta_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty},$ $ \|\theta_n\|_{L^\infty_{[0,1]} } \leq M $ is constructed such that $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_{n}\theta_{n}$ converges almost everywhere on…

Inspired by Cohen and te Riele~\cite{Cohen1996}, who computationally verified that for every $n \leq 400$ there exists $k$ such that $\sigma^k(n) \equiv 0 \pmod{n}$ (where $\sigma^k$ denotes the $k$-fold iteration of the sum-of-divisors…

In [GW09a] we conjectured that uniformity of degree $k-1$ is sufficient to control an average over a family of linear forms if and only if the $k$th powers of these linear forms are linearly independent. In this paper we prove this…

The author derives new family of series representations for the values of the Riemann Zeta function $\zeta(s)$ at positive odd integers. For $n\in\mathbb{N}$, each of these series representing $\zeta(2n+1)$ converges remarkably rapidly with…

We establish the mapping relations between analytic functions and periodic functions using the abstract operators $\cos(h\partial_x)$ and $\sin(h\partial_x)$, including the mapping relations between power series and trigonometric series,…

In this paper we extend and improve our results on weighted averages for the number of representations of an integer as a sum of two powers of primes. Let $1\le \ell_1 \le \ell_2$ be two integers, $\Lambda$ be the von Mangoldt function and…

In 1960, Sierpi\'nski proved that there exist infinitely many odd positive integers $k$ such that $k\cdot 2^n+1$ is composite for all positive integers $n$. In this paper, we prove some generalizations of Sierpi\'nski's theorem with $2^n$…

We make progress on a conjecture of Cilleruelo on the growth of the least common multiple of consecutive values of an irreducible polynomial $f$ on the additional hypothesis that the polynomial be even. This strengthens earlier work of…

A promising theory of quaternion-valued functions of one quaternionic variable, now called slice regular functions, has been introduced in 2006. The basic examples of slice regular functions are power series centered at 0 on their balls of…

It is shown how sums of squares of real valued functions can be used to give new proofs of the reality of the zeros of the Bessel functions $J_\alpha (z)$ when $\alpha \ge -1,$ confluent hypergeometric functions ${}_0F_1(c\/; z)$ when $c>0$…

The generalized circumradius of a set of points $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ with respect to a convex body $K$ equals the minimum value of $\lambda \geq 0$ such that $A$ is contained in a translate of $\lambda K$. Each choice of $K$ gives a…

Suppose $\Lambda$ is a discrete infinite set of nonnegative real numbers. We say that $ {\Lambda}$ is of type 1 if the series $s(x)=\sum_{\lambda\in\Lambda}f(x+\lambda)$ satisfies a zero-one law. This means that for any non-negative…

Given a periodic function $f$, we study the convergence almost everywhere and in norm of the series $\sum_{k} c_k f(kx)$. Let $f(x)= \sum_{m=1}^\infty a_m \sin {2\pi m x}$ where $\sum_{m=1}^\infty a_{m }^2d(m) <\infty$ and $d(m)=\sum_{d|m}…

For a fixed integer $k \ge 0$, consider representations of positive integers as sums of binomial coefficients of the form $\binom{n}{k}$. While exact minimal bounds for the number of required summands are known only in a few low-dimensional…

The main aim of this paper is to study an analogue of the generalized divisor function in a number field $\mathbb{K}$, namely, $\sigma_{\mathbb{K},\alpha}(n)$. The Dirichlet series associated to this function is…

Various methods of summation for divergent series of real numbers have been generalized to analogous results for sums of iid random variables. The natural extension of results corresponding to Ces\`aro summation amounts to proving almost…

Let $$\lambda(s)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac1{(2n+1)^s},$$ $$\beta(s)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(-1)^{n}}{(2n+1)^s},$$ and $$\eta(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{n^s}$$ be the Dirichlet lambda function, its alternating form, and the Dirichlet…
