This paper is devoted to studying the numbers $L_{c,m,n} := \mathrm{lcm}\{m^2+c ,(m+1)^2+c , \dots , n^2+c\}$, where $c,m,n$ are positive integers such that $m \leq n$. Precisely, we prove that $L_{c,m,n}$ is a multiple of the rational…

Given a sequence of n numbers, the Maximum Consecutive Subsums Problem (MCSP) asks for the maximum consecutive sum of lengths l for each l = 1,...,n. No algorithm is known for this problem which is significantly better than the naive…

We construct a uniformly discrete, and even sparse, sequence of real numbers $\Lambda=\{\lambda_n\}$ and a function g in $L^2(R)$, such that for every q>2, every function f in $L^2(R)$ can be approximated with arbitrary small error by a…

We study monomial operators on $ L^2[0,1]$, that is bounded linear operators that map each monomial $x^n$ to a multiple of $x^{p_n}$ for some $p_n$. We show that they are all unitarily equivalent to weighted composition operators on a Hardy…

Let $ \mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H})$ represent the $C^*$-algebra, which consists of all bounded linear operators on $\mathscr{H},$ and let $N ( .) $ be a norm on $ \mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H})$. We define a norm $w_{(N,e)} (. , . )$ on $…

We prove an upper bound of higher topological complexity $TC_n(X)$ using higher $\mathcal{D}$-topological complexity $TC_n^{\mathcal{D}}(X)$ of a space $X$. An intermediate invariant $\widetilde{TC}_n(X)$ is used in the proof. We interpret…

We study binomially weighted summation methods given by \[ (x_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}} \mapsto \left(\sum_{k=0}^n\binom{n}{k}r^k(1-r)^{n-k}x_k\right)_{n\in \mathbb{N}} \] for $r\in (0,1)$, and their behavior under composition with summation…

A one-parameter generalisation R_{\lambda}(X;b) of the symmetric Macdonald polynomials and interpolations Macdonald polynomials is studied from the point of view of branching rules. We establish a Pieri formula, evaluation symmetry,…

For any large prime $q$, $1 \leq x \leq q$ and any real $0 \leq k \leq 1$, we prove an upper bound for the following $2k$-th moment $$\displaystyle \sum_{\substack{\chi \bmod q}} \Big| \sum_{n\leq x} \chi(n)\lambda(n)\Big|^{2k},$$ where…

Fix integers $m\ge 2$, $n\ge 1$. We prove the existence of a bounded linear extension operator for $C^{m-1,1}(\R^n)$ with operator norm at most $\exp(\gamma D^k)$, where $D := \binom{m+n-1}{n}$ is the number of multiindices of length $n$…

Let $N_n(X)$ denote the number of degree $n$ number fields with discriminant bounded by $X$. In this note, we improve the best known upper bounds on $N_n(X)$, finding that $N_n(X) = O(X^{ c (\log n)^2})$ for an explicit constant $c$.

A sequence $\Big(u_n\Big)_{n=0}^{\infty}$ is said to be convex if it satisfies the following inequality $$ 2u_n\leq u_{n-1}+u_{n+1}\qquad \mbox{for all}\qquad n\in\mathbb{N}. $$ We present several characterizations of convex sequences and…

We examine the complexity of basic regular operations on languages represented by Boolean and alternating finite automata. We get tight upper bounds m+n and m+n+1 for union, intersection, and difference, 2^m+n and 2^m+n+1 for concatenation,…

Suppose $M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ are two special Lagrangian submanifolds of $\Rtn$ with boundary that intersect transversally at one point $p$. The set $M_{1} \cup M_{2}$ is a singular special Lagrangian variety with an isolated singularity at…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we prove that $$\int_X^{2X}\Big|\sum_{x\leq n \leq x+h}\lambda(n) \Big|^2 dx \ll Xh(\log X)^6,$$ as $X\rightarrow \infty$, provided $h=h(X)\leq…

The border rank of the matrix multiplication operator for n by n matrices is a standard measure of its complexity. Using techniques from algebraic geometry and representation theory, we show the border rank is at least 2n^2-n. Our bounds…

Let $\bm p_0,...,\bm p_{m-1}$ be points in ${\mathbb R}^d$, and let $\{f_j\}_{j=0}^{m-1}$ be a one-parameter family of similitudes of ${\mathbb R}^d$: $$ f_j(\bm x) = \lambda\bm x + (1-\lambda)\bm p_j, j=0,...,m-1, $$ where…

For any irrational real number xi, let lambda(xi) denote the supremum of all real numbers lambda such that, for each sufficiently large X, the inequalities |x_0| < X, |x_0*xi-x_1| < X^{-lambda} and |x_0*xi^2-x_2| < X^{-lambda} admit a…

We prove that the pseudoisotopy stable range for manifolds of dimension 2n can be no better than (2n-2). In order to do so, we define new characteristic classes for block bundles, extending our earlier work with Ebert, and prove their…
