Here we solve Pad\'e and Prony interpolation problems for the generalized exponential sums with equal weights: $$H_n(z; h)=\frac{\mu}{n}\sum_{k=1}^n h(\lambda_k z),\quad \text{where}\quad \mu,\lambda_k\in \mathbb{C},$$ and $h$ is a fixed…

The little Grothendieck problem consists of maximizing $\sum_{ij}C_{ij}x_ix_j$ over binary variables $x_i\in\{\pm1\}$, where C is a positive semidefinite matrix. In this paper we focus on a natural generalization of this problem, the little…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, Jianqiang Zhao has established a curious congruence $$ \sum_{i+j+k=p \atop i,j,k > 0} \frac{1}{ijk} \equiv -2B_{p-3}\pmod p , $$ where $B_{n}$ denotes the $n-$th Bernoulli numbers. In this paper, we will generalize…

We study the shift-Ramanujan expansion (see 1705.07193) of general $f,g$ satisfying Ramanujan Conjecture, in order to get formulae, for their shifted convolution sum, say $C_{f,g}(N,a)$, of length $N$ and shift $a$ (so, the Ramanujan…

Let $m$, $r$ and $n$ be positive integers. We denote by ${\bf k}\vdash n$ any tuple of odd positive integers ${\bf k}=(k_1,\dots,k_t)$ such that $k_1+\dots+k_t=n$ and $k_j\ge 3$ for all $j$. In this paper we prove that for every…

Recently, an analogue over $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ of Landau's theorem on sums of two squares was considered by Bary-Soroker, Smilansky and Wolf. They counted the number of monic polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ of degree $n$ of the form…

The subset sum problem over finite fields is a well-known {\bf NP}-complete problem. It arises naturally from decoding generalized Reed-Solomon codes. In this paper, we study the number of solutions of the subset sum problem from a…

Let M(q)=\sum c(n) q^n be one of Ramanujan's mock theta functions. We establish the existence of infinitely many linear congruences of the form c(An+B) \equiv 0 (mod \ell^j), where A is a multiple of \ell and an auxiliary prime p. Moreover,…

We prove several results which imply the following consequences. For any $\varepsilon>0$ and any sufficiently large prime $p$, if $\cI_1,\ldots, \cI_{13}$ are intervals of cardinalities $|\cI_j|>p^{1/4+\varepsilon}$ and $abc\not\equiv…

In this paper we study the equation $$ x^k + (x+1)^k = y^n,\quad n\geq 3, $$ when $k\equiv 2\pmod{4}$. We prove that the only solutions are for $x=0, -1$ when $6\leq k\leq 100$ or for a $k$ with odd prime factors congruent to $3\pmod{4}$.…

Using properties of Gauss and Jacobi sums, we derive explicit formulas for the number of solutions to a diagonal equation of the form $x_1^{2^m}+\dots+x_n^{2^m}=0$ over a finite field of characteristic $p\equiv\pm 3\pmod{8}$. All of the…
