By some new recursive algorithms, in this paper, we will give some improvements on Waring's problem.
Let $G(k)$ denote the least number $s$ having the property that every sufficiently large natural number is the sum of at most $s$ positive integral $k$-th powers. Then for all $k\in \mathbb N$, one has \[ G(k)\le \lceil k(\log…
In this paper, we will continue the investigation of Waring's problem, and give further improvements.
Let $G(k)$ denote the least number $s$ such that every sufficiently large natural number is the sum of at most $s$ positive integral $k$th powers. We show that $G(7)\le 31$, $G(8)\le 39$, $G(9)\le 47$, $G(10)\le 55$, $G(11)\le 63$,…
Waring's classical problem deals with expressing every natural number as a sum of g(k) k-th powers. Recently there has been considerable interest in similar questions for nonabelian groups, and simple groups in particular. Here the k-th…
When k > 1 and s is sufficiently large in terms of k, we derive an explicit multi-term asymptotic expansion for the number of representations of a large natural number as the sum of s positive integral k-th powers.
In this paper, we study a density version of Waring's problem. We prove that a positive density subset of $k$th-powers forms an asymptotic additive basis of order $O(k^2)$ provided that the relative lower density of the set is greater than…
In this paper, we will investigate the solvability of the equation $x_1^k + x_2^k + \ldots + x_s^k = n$, $n\in \mathbb{Z}_{p^k}$, $x_1,...,x_s\in \mathcal{A}$, $\mathcal{A}\subseteq \mathbb{Z}_{p^k}$. We will give a upper bound of the…
We investigate the existence of representations of every large positive integer as a sum of $k$-th powers of integers represented as certain diagonal forms. In particular, we consider a family of diagonal forms and discuss the problem of…
The Waring function $g(k,q)$ measures the difficulty of Waring's problem for $k$th powers in the field of $q$ elements. Its calculation seems to be difficult, and many partial results have been published, notably upper bounds for certain…
In this paper, we study a density version of the Waring-Goldbach problem. Suppose that A is a subset of the primes, and the lower density of A in the primes is larger than 1-1/2k. We prove that every sufficiently large natural number n…
The classical Waring problem deals with expressing every natural number as a sum of g(k) kth powers. Similar problems for finite simple groups have been studied recently, and in this paper we study them for finite quasisimple groups G. We…
Let $\mu_1, \ldots, \mu_s$ be real numbers, with $\mu_1$ irrational. We investigate sums of shifted $k$th powers $\mathfrak{F}(x_1, \ldots, x_s) = (x_1 - \mu_1)^k + \ldots + (x_s - \mu_s)^k$. For $k \ge 4$, we bound the number of variables…
The generalized Waring problem asks exactly which positive integers cannot be expressed as the sum of $j$ positive $k$-th powers? Using computational techniques, this paper refines an approach introduced by Zenkin, establishes results for…
We give an upper bound for the minimum $s$ with the property that every sufficiently large integer can be represented as the sum of $s$ positive $k$-th powers of integers represented as the sum of three positive cubes for the cases $2\leq…
In [10] the third author of this paper presented two conjectures on the additive decomposability of the sequence of ''smooth'' (or ''friable'') numbers. Elsholtz and Harper [4] proved (by using sieve methods) the second (less demanding)…
We apply recent progress on Vinogradov's mean value theorem to improve bounds for the function $H(k)$ in the Waring-Goldbach problem. We obtain new results for all exponents $k \ge 7$, and in particular establish that for large $k$ one has…
We improve the bound of the $g$-invariant of the ring of integers of a totally real number field, where the $g$-invariant $g(r)$ is the smallest number of squares of linear forms in $r$ variables that is required to represent all the…
We prove a sharp density theorem for quadratic Waring's problem over cyclic groups, when the number of variables is at least $5$. Also, we obtain some new improvements on the density version of the quadratic Waring--Goldbach problem over…
On the Waring's problems for matrices over a commutative ring, there are some trace conditions provided for matrices eligibly expressed as a sum of $k$-th powers with $k=2,3,4,5,6,7,8$ in several literatures. In this paper, we provide the…
