This paper consists of three parts. First, we give so far the best condition under which the shift invariance of the counting function, and of the characteristic of a subharmonic function, holds. Second, a difference analogue of logarithmic…

Two permutations of the natural numbers diverge if the absolute value of the difference of their elements in the same position goes to infinity. We show that there exists an infinite number of pairwise divergent permutations of the…

Let $(x_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ be a sequence of integers. We study the number variance of dilations $(\alpha x_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ modulo 1 in intervals of length $S$, and establish pseudorandom (Poissonian) behavior for Lebesgue-almost all $\alpha$…

Motivated by arithmetic applications on the number of points in a bihomogeneous variety and on moments of Dirichlet $L$-functions, we provide analytic continuation for the series $\mathcal…

The Davenport constant for a finite abelian group $G$ is the minimal length $\ell$ such that any sequence of $\ell$ terms from $G$ must contain a nontrivial zero-sum sequence. For the group $G=(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)^2$, its value is $2n-1$,…

We prove mod-Gaussian convergence for a Dirichlet polynomial which approximates $\operatorname{Im}\log\zeta(1/2+it)$. This Dirichlet polynomial is sufficiently long to deduce Selberg's central limit theorem with an explicit error term.…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$ be a convex body with everywhere positive curvature except at the origin and with the boundary $\partial \Omega$ as the graph of the function $y=|x|^{\gamma}$ in a neighborhood of the origin with $\gamma…

In the literature, the notion of discrepancy is used in several contexts, even in the theory of graphs. Here, for a graph $G$, $\{-1, 1\}$ labels are assigned to the edges, and we consider a family $\mathcal{S}_G$ of (spanning) subgraphs of…

We show that if $\mathfrak{c} = \aleph_2$ then all covering numbers of Hausdorff measures $\operatorname{cov}(\mathcal{N}^s(\mathbb{R}^d))$ ($0 < s < d, d \in \omega$) are equal and all uniformity numbers…

We provide a dynamical proof of the van der Corput inequality for sequences in Hilbert spaces that is based on the Furstenberg correspondence principle. This is done by reducing the inequality to the mean ergodic theorem for contractions on…

We describe a simple analytical method for effective summation of series, including divergent series. The method is based on self-similar approximation theory resulting in self-similar root approximants. The method is shown to be general…

Strong data processing inequalities (SDPI) are an important object of study in Information Theory and have been well studied for $f$-divergences. Universal upper and lower bounds have been provided along with several applications,…

We improve existing estimates of moments of the Riemann zeta function. As a consequence, we are able to derive new estimates for the asymptotic behaviour of $\sum_{N \alpha \le x} \mathfrak{t}_k(\alpha)$, where $N$ stands for the norm of a…

For any $N\ge 2$ and $\alpha=(\alpha_1,\cdots, \alpha_{N+1})\in (0,\infty)^{N+1}$, let $\mu^{(N)}_{\alpha}$ be the Dirichlet distribution with parameter $\alpha$ on the set $\Delta^{ (N)}:= \{ x \in [0,1]^N:\ \sum_{1\le i\le N}x_i \le 1…

Suppose a complex function $f$ has a Lebesgue measurable inverse Laplace transform. We show that the $n$th order forward and backward differences of $f$ at $z_0\in\mathbb{C}$ tend to zero as $n\to\infty$ whenever $z_0$ lies in the region of…

This paper is concerned with an inverse wavenumber/frequency-dependent source problem for the Helmholtz equation. In two and three dimensions, the unknown source term is supposed to be compactly supported in spatial variables but…

Let $x \in [0,1)$ be an irrational number with continued fraction expansion $[a_1(x),a_2(x), \cdots,a_n(x),\cdots]$ and $q_n(x)$ be the denominator of its $n$-th convergent. We establish, for any $\alpha,\beta$ in $[0,+\infty]$, the…

For $k\geq 2$, we give a detailed exposition of the superior $k$-highly composite numbers. We then consider the function \[f_k(n)=\frac{\log d_k(n)\log\log n}{\log k\log n},\quad n\geq 3\] which has a maximum value $\lambda(k)$ at a…

Let $0<p\leq 1$, and let $\omega:\mathbb N^2 \to [1,\infty)$ be an almost monotone weight. Let $\mathbb H$ be the closed right half plane in the complex plane. Let $\widetilde a$ be a complex valued function on $\mathbb H^2$ such that…

We use the Haar function system in order to study the $L_2$ discrepancy of a class of digital $(0,n,2)$-nets. Our approach yields exact formulas for this quantity, which measures the irregularities of distribution of a set of points in the…
