Let $(x_n)_{n\geq0}$ be a linear recurrence sequence of order $k\geq2$ satisfying $$x_n=a_1x_{n-1}+a_2x_{n-2}+\dots+a_kx_{n-k}$$ for all integers $n\geq k$, where $a_1,\dots,a_k,x_0,\dots, x_{k-1}\in \mathbb{Z},$ with $a_k\neq0$. In 2017,…

We consider infinite sequences of positive numbers. The connection between log-concavity and the Bessenrodt--Ono inequality had been in the focus of several papers. This has applications in the white noise distribution theory and…

For fixed $\alpha \in [0,1]$, consider the set $S_{\alpha,N}$ of dilated squares $\alpha, 4\alpha, 9\alpha, \dots, N^2\alpha \, $ modulo $1$. Rudnick and Sarnak conjectured that for Lebesgue almost all such $\alpha$ the gap-distribution of…

Let $A=(a_1,\ldots,a_n)$ and $B=(b_1,\ldots,b_n)$ be two sequences of nonnegative integers with $a_i \le b_i$ for $1\le i\le n$. The pair $(A;B)$ is said to be realizable by a graph if there exists a simple graph $G$ with vertices…

We propose the formula for the number of pairs of consecutive primes $p_n, p_{n+1}<x$ separated by gap $d=p_{n+1}-p_n$ expressed directly by the number of all primes $<x$, i.e. by $\pi(x)$. As the application of this formula we formulate 7…

This paper considers pairs of optimization problems that are defined from a single input and for which it is desired to find a good approximation to either one of the problems. In many instances, it is possible to efficiently find an…

For a sequence $\{a_n\}_{n\geq 0}$ of real numbers and for a parameter $0<p<1$, we define the sequence of its arithmetic means $\{a^*_n\}_{n\geq 0}$ and the sequence of its $p$-binomial means $\{a^p_n\}_{n\geq 0}$ as \begin{align*}…

We study the minimal gap statistic for fractional parts of sequences of the form $\mathcal A^\alpha = \{\alpha a(n)\}$ where $\mathcal A = \{a(n)\}$ is a sequence of distinct of integers. Assuming that the additive energy of the sequence is…

A survey of pairing properties of nucleonic matter is presented that includes the off-shell propagation associated with short-range and tensor correlations. For this purpose, the gap equation has been solved in its most general form…

Let $p_{k}$ denote the $k$-th prime and $d(p_{k}) = p_{k} - p_{k - 1}$, the difference between consecutive primes. We denote by $N_{\epsilon}(x)$ the number of primes $\leq x$ which satisfy the inequality $d(p_{k}) \leq (\log p_{k})^{2 +…

Let $(a_n)_{n \geq 1}$ be a sequence of distinct positive integers. In a recent paper Rudnick established asymptotic upper bounds for the minimal gaps of $\{a_n \alpha \bmod 1, 1 \leq n \leq N\}$ as $N \to \infty$, valid for Lebesgue-almost…

A well-known conjecture asserts that, for any given positive real number $\lambda$ and nonnegative integer $m$, the proportion of positive integers $n \le x$ for which the interval $(n,n + \lambda\log n]$ contains exactly $m$ primes is…

We investigate pair correlations in trapped fermion and boson gases as a means to probe the quantum states producing the density fluctuations. We point out that "opposite sign correlations" (meaning pair correlations that are positive for…

The long run behaviour of linear dynamical systems is often studied by looking at eventual properties of matrices and recurrences that underlie the system. A basic problem that lies at the core of many questions in this setting is the…

We study the Coulomb chain where particles are restricted to one dimension and experience three-dimensional Coulomb interactions with their nearest and next-to-nearest neighbours. The distances between consecutive particles are treated as…

Let A(n) be a sequence of i.i.d. topical (i.e. isotone and additively homogeneous) operators. Let $x(n,x_0)$ be defined by $x(0,x_0)=x_0$ and $x(n,x_0)=A(n)x(n-1,x_0)$. This can modelize a wide range of systems including, task graphs, train…

We consider the classical Neymann-Pearson hypothesis testing problem of signal detection, where under the null hypothesis ($\calH_0$), the received signal is white Gaussian noise, and under the alternative hypothesis ($\calH_1$), the…

Suppose $\left\{x_1, \dots, x_n\right\} \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ is a set of $n$ points in the plane with diameter $\leq 1$, meaning $\|x_i - x_j\| \leq 1$ for all $1 \leq i,j \leq n$. We show that if there are many `antipodes', these are…

For $s \geq 0$ and a parameter $0 < \beta < 1$, the weak pair correlation function $f_{N,\beta}(s)$ for the first $N \in \mathbb{N}$ elements of a sequence $(x_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}} \subset[0,1]$ is evidently non-decreasing in $s$.…

Let $p_n$ denote the $n$th prime and $g_n:=p_{n+1}-p_n$ the $n$th prime gap. We demonstrate the existence of infinitely many values of $n$ for which $g_n>g_{n+1}>\cdots>g_{n+m}$ with $m\gg \log\log\log n$ and similarly for the reversed…
