In this paper we study the best constant in a Hardy inequality for the p-Laplace operator on convex domains with Robin boundary conditions. We show, in particular, that the best constant equals $((p-1)/p)^p$ whenever Dirichlet boundary…

We consider the best constant in a critical Sobolev inequality of second order. We show non-rigidity for the optimizers above a certain threshold, namely we prove that the best constant is achieved by a non-constant solution of the…

For a prime number p greater than 6000, the Olson's constant for the group Z_p+Z_p is given by Ol(Z_p+Z_p)=p-1+Ol(Z_p).

We report a universal improvement to the standard Robertson--Schr\"odinger uncertainty relation. Our result shows that the Robertson--Schr\"odinger lower bound can be supplemented by a new noncommutativity-induced term. This term represents…

The author studies an average version of Brun-Titchmarsh theorem with large moduli. Using Maynard's recent breakthrough on the Bombieri-Friedlander-Iwaniec type triple convolution estimates, we refine the previous result of Baker and Harman…

Extending results of Linial (1984) and Aigner (1985), we prove a uniform lower bound on the balance constant of a poset $P$ of width $2$. This constant is defined as $\delta(P) = \max_{(x, y)\in P^2}\min\{\mathbb{P}(x\prec y),…

Let P be a set of points and $L$ a set of lines in (F_p)^2, with |P|,|L|\leq N and N<p. We show that P and L generate no more than C N^(3/2 - 1/806 + o(1)) incidences for some absolute constant C. This improves by an order of magnitude on…

The classical inequality of Bohr asserts that if a power series converges in the unit disk and its sum has modulus less than or equal to $1$, then the sum of absolute values of its terms is less than or equal to $1$ for the subdisk…

It is shown that the absolute constant in the Berry--Esseen inequality for i.i.d. Bernoulli random variables is strictly less than the Esseen constant, if $1\le n\le 500000$, where $n$ is a number of summands. This result is got both with…

We present new sharper lower and upper bounds for the non-zero Bernoulli numbers using Euler's formula for the Riemann zeta function. In particular, we determine the best possible constants $ \alpha $ and $ \beta $ such that the double…

The formula $\lim_{N\to\infty}\sum_{p<N,p,p+2 both prime} \log(p)\log(p+2) = C_2$ is tested on the computer up to $N=2^{40}\approx 1.1\times 10^{12}$ and very good agreement is found.

Due to the effort of a number of authors, the value c_u of the absolute constant factor in the uniform Berry--Esseen (BE) bound for sums of independent random variables has been gradually reduced to 0.4748 in the iid case and 0.5600 in the…

For relatively prime positive integers $u_0$ and $r$, we consider the least common multiple $L_n:=\mathrm{lcm}(u_0,u_1,\ldots, u_n)$ of the finite arithmetic progression $\{u_k:=u_0+kr\}_{k=0}^n$. We derive new lower bounds on $L_n$ which…

In this note we compute values of global linear Harbourne constants over arbitrary fields for up to ten lines. These invariants have appeared recently in the discussions around the Bounded Negativity Conjecture. They seem to be of…

For every $p\leq n$ positive integer we obtain the lower bound $(3-\frac{1}{p+1})n^2-\big(2\binom{2p}{p+1}-\binom{2p-2}{p-1}+2\big)n$ for the rank of the $n\times n$ matrix multiplication. This bound improves the previous one…

We combine our new results for the O(alpha_em) and O(alpha_s^2) corrections to B_{s,d} -> l^+ l^-, and present updated branching ratio predictions for these decays in the standard model. Inclusion of the new corrections removes major…

We evaluate the Bateman-Horn constant for the polynomial $x^3+x+1$.

We obtain the sharp factor of the two-sides estimates of the optimal constant in generalized Hardy's inequality with two general Borel measures on $\mathbb{R}$, which generalizes and unifies the known continuous and discrete cases.

This paper is a continuation of earlier work by the first author who determined the John--Nirenberg constant of ${\rm BMO}^p\big((0,1)\big)$ for the range $1\le p\le 2.$ Here, we compute that constant for $p>2.$ As before, the main results…
