Assuming that there exist (infinitely many) Siegel zeros, we show that the (Rosser-)Jurkat-Richert bounds in the linear sieve cannot be improved, and similarly look at Iwaniec's lower bound on Jacobsthal's problem, as well as minor…

We study additive properties of consecutive prime numbers and the primality of the sums they generate. For a given prime number $p_n$, we consider the sums \[ S_k(p_n) = p_n + p_{n+1} + \cdots + p_{n+k-1}, \] where $k \ge 3$ is an odd…

For any $m \geq 1$, let $H_m$ denote the quantity $\liminf_{n \to \infty} (p_{n+m}-p_n)$. A celebrated recent result of Zhang showed the finiteness of $H_1$, with the explicit bound $H_1 \leq 70000000$. This was then improved by us (the…

We improve on the spectral large sieve inequality for symmetric-squares. We also prove a lower bound showing that the most optimistic upper bound is not true for this family.

Essentially all anytime-valid methods hinge on Ville's inequality to gain validity across time without incurring a union bound. Ville's inequality is a proper generalisation of Markov's inequality. It states that a non-negative…

We propose an iterative estimating equations procedure for analysis of longitudinal data. We show that, under very mild conditions, the probability that the procedure converges at an exponential rate tends to one as the sample size…

Let $\big(\mathcal{S}_n^{\alpha,\kappa,\mathfrak{r}}(z)\big)_{n=1}^\infty$ be a sequence of the largest possible integer intervals, such that…

We provide a precise statement and self contained proof of a Sobolev inequality (cf. [A, page 236 and page 237]) stated in the original paper. Higher order and fractional inequalities are treated as well.

We apply recent bounds of the author (math.PR/0609224) for generalized Smirnov statistics to the distribution of integers whose prime factors satisfy certain systems of inequalities.

In this paper, we present an improvement of a large sieve type inequality in high dimensions and discuss its implications on a related problem.

We provide a numerical scheme to approximate as closely as desired the Gaussian or exponential measure $\mu(\om)$ of (not necessarily compact) basic semi-algebraic sets$\om\subset\R^n$. We obtain two monotone (non increasing and non…

In this paper, we prove the existence of capacity achieving linear codes with random binary sparse generating matrices. The results on the existence of capacity achieving linear codes in the literature are limited to the random binary codes…

Let $p_n$ denote the $n$th prime and $g_n:=p_{n+1}-p_n$ the $n$th prime gap. We demonstrate the existence of infinitely many values of $n$ for which $g_n>g_{n+1}>\cdots>g_{n+m}$ with $m\gg \log\log\log n$ and similarly for the reversed…

We prove that given $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $0 < \lambda < 1$, then $\pi(x + x^\lambda) - \pi(x) \sim \displaystyle \frac{x^\lambda}{\log(x)}$. This solves a long-standing problem concerning the existence of primes in short…

We prove an improved spectral large sieve inequality for the family of $SL_3(\mathbb{Z})$ Hecke-Maass cusp forms. The method of proof uses duality and its structure reveals unexpected connections to Heath-Brown's large sieve for cubic…

The large sieve is used to estimate the density of integral quadratic polynomials $Q$, such that there exists an odd degree integral polynomial which has resultant $\pm 1$ with $Q$. Given a monic integral polynomial $R$ of odd degree, this…

To improve convergence results obtained using a framework for unsymmetric meshless methods due to Schaback (Preprint G\"ottingen 2006), we extend, in two directions, the Sobolev bound due to Arcang\'eli et al. (Numer Math 107, 181-211,…

For absolutely convergent series we state explicitly a one-sided summation estimate that can be viewed as the discrete analogue of the change of variable formula on the half line. This estimate is implicit in Pascal Lef\`evre's recent…

We extend the classical Lyapunov inequality on the measurable space with infinite measure and on the so-called Grand Lebesgue spaces (GLS). We find also the exact value for correspondent constant. Possible applications: Functional Analysis…

We analyze the long-time behavior of numerical schemes for a class of monotone stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) driven by multiplicative noise. By deriving several time-independent a priori estimates for the numerical…
