One of the most interesting formulas for multiple zeta values is the sum formula proved by Granville and Zagier independently in 1990s. Many variations and generalizations of it have been found since then. In this paper, we will provide a…

Many statistical applications require establishing central limit theorems for sums, integrals, or for quadratic forms of functions of a stationary process. A particularly important case is that of Appell polynomials, since the Appell…

The celebrated Carleson-Hunt theorem gives pointwise almost everywhere convergence for the Fourier series of a function in $L^p(\mathbb T)$. R. Oberlin, A. Seeger, T. Tao, C. Thiele and J. Wright (OSTTW) strengthened this theorem by proving…

We bound double sums of Kloosterman sums over a finite field ${\mathbb F}_{q}$, with one or both parameters ranging over an affine space over its prime subfield ${\mathbb F}_p \subseteq {\mathbb F}_{q} $. These are finite fields analogues…

We revisit a recent bound of I. Shparlinski and T. P. Zhang on bilinear forms with Kloosterman sums, and prove an extension for correlation sums of Kloosterman sums against Fourier coefficients of modular forms. We use these bounds to…

We use Poisson summation formula to calculate integrals of producs of sinc functions (cf. [4]) and related integrals as in [5] and [3]. We also generalize the one in [5] and introduce other remarkable integrals. Finally we give a sum…

We prove explicit upper bounds for weighted sums over prime numbers in arithmetic progressions with slowly varying weight functions. The results generalize the well-known Brun-Titchmarsh inequality.

Let $R(n) = \sum_{a+b=n} \Lambda(a)\Lambda(b)$, where $\Lambda(\cdot)$ is the von Mangoldt function. The function $R(n)$ is often studied in connection with Goldbach's conjecture. On the Riemann hypothesis (RH) it is known that $\sum_{n\leq…

We establish a lower bound and an upper bound to the sum of the Fractional-Logarithmic Laplacian. A main challenge in such a study comes from the fact that this operator has a Fourier symbol that is not globally monotone in its radial…

In this paper, we study sums of translates on the real axis. These functions generalize logarithms of weighted algebraic polynomials. Namely, we are dealing with the following functions \[ F(\mathbf{y},t) := J(t) + \sum \limits_{j=1}^n…

Easily computable lower and upper bounds are found for the sum of Catalan numbers. The lower bound is proven to be tighter than the upper bound, which previously was declared to be only an asymptotic. The average of these bounds is proven…

Upper bounds are obtained for the $p$-capacity of compact sets in $\R^d$, with $d \ge 2$ and $1<p<d$. Upper and lower bounds are obtained for the product of $p$-capacity and powers of the $q$-torsional rigidity over the collection of all…

We continue the work of Eriksen, Freij, and Wastlund [3], who study derangements that descend in blocks of prescribed lengths. We generalize their work to derangements that ascend in some blocks and descend in others. In particular, we…

In the paper, the authors review origins, motivations, and generalizations of a series of inequalities involving several exponential functions and sums, establish three new inequalities involving finite exponential functions and sums by…

We prove some sharp extremal distance results for functions in weighted Bergman spaces on the upper halfplane.We also prove such results in the context of bounded strictly pseudoconvex domains with smooth boundary

In this article we prove lower and upper bounds for class numbers of algebraic curves defined over finite fields. These bounds turn out to be better than most of the previously known bounds obtained using combinatorics. The methods used in…

For a real number $x$, call $\frac1n \lfloor nx \rfloor$ the $n$-th lower rational approximation of $x$. We study the functions defined by taking the cumulative average of the first $n$ lower rational approximations of $x$, which we call…

In this paper certain classes of infinite sums involving special functions are evaluated analytically by application of basic quantum mechanical principles to simple models of half harmonic oscillator and a particle trapped inside an…

Using two results of Garkavi, Medvedev and Khavinson, we give sufficient conditions for proximinality of sums of two ridge functions with bounded and continuous summands in the spaces of bounded and continuous multivariate functions…

Planar functions, introduced by Dembowski and Ostrom, have attracted much attention in the last decade. As shown in this paper, we present a new class of planar functions of the form $\operatorname{Tr}(ax^{q+1})+\ell(x^2)$ on an extension…
