Let $D\in\mathbb{N}$, let $A>D+1$, and let $Q\geqslant3$. Consider the class of multiplicative functions $f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{C}$ such that $|\sum_{n\leqslant x}f(n)|\le x(\log Q)^{A-D-1}/(\log x)^A$ for all $x\geqslant Q$, and such that…

Let $\mathcal A_N$ to be $N$ points in the unit cube in dimension $ d$, and consider the Discrepency function D_N(\vec x) \coloneqq \sharp \mathcal A_N \cap [\vec 0,\vec x)-N \abs{[\vec 0,\vec x)} Here, $ \vec x= (x_1 ,...c, x_d)$ and $[…

We say that a first order sentence A defines a graph G if A is true on G but false on any graph non-isomorphic to G. Let L(G) (resp. D(G)) denote the minimum length (resp. quantifier rank) of a such sentence. We define the succinctness…

We study the minimal gap statistic for sequences of the form $\left( \alpha x_n \right)_{n = 1}^{\infty}$ where $\left( x_n \right)_{n = 1}^{\infty}$ is a sequence of real numbers, and its connection to the additive energy of $\left( x_n…

The interest for uniformly distributed (u.d.) sequences of points, in particular for sequences with small discrepancy, arises from various applications. For instance, low-discrepancy sequences, which are sequences with a discrepancy of…

The process of DNA-based data storage (DNA storage for short) can be mathematically modelled as a communication channel, termed DNA storage channel, whose inputs and outputs are sets of unordered sequences. To design error correcting codes…

We prove a generalisation of Roth's theorem for arithmetic progressions to d-configurations, which are sets of the form {n_i+n_j+a}_{1 \leq i \leq j \leq d} where a, n_1,..., n_d are nonnegative integers, using Roth's original density…

Let $\{X,X_n,n\ge 1\}$ be a sequence of identically distributed, negatively dependent (NA) random variables under sub-linear expectations, and denote $S_n=\sum_{i=1}^{n}X_i$, $n\ge 1$. Assume that $h(\cdot)$ is a positive non-decreasing…

The Ulam sequence, described by Stanislaw Ulam in the 1960s, starts $1,2$ and then iteratively adds the smallest integer that can be uniquely written as the sum of two distinct earlier terms: this gives $1,2,3,4,6,8,11,\dots$. Already in…

We consider detecting change points in the correlation structure of streaming data with minimum assumptions posed on the underlying data distribution. Detection statistics are constructed for dense and sparse change settings, based on…

The aim of this expository article is to present recent developments in the centuries old discussion on the interrelations between continuous and differentiable real valued functions of one real variable. The truly new results include,…

Fix a constant $C\geq 1$ and let $d=d(n)$ satisfy $d\leq \ln^{C} n$ for every large integer $n$. Denote by $A_n$ the adjacency matrix of a uniform random directed $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices. We show that, as long as $d\to\infty$ with…

We consider a state-dependent, time-dependent, discrete random walks $X_t^{\{a_n\}}$ defined on natural numbers $\mathbb{N}$ (bent to a "stair" in $\mathbb{N}^2$) where the random walk depends on input of a positive deterministic sequence…

A nonparametric anomalous hypothesis testing problem is investigated, in which there are totally n sequences with s anomalous sequences to be detected. Each typical sequence contains m independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.)…

Let $0 < p < 2$. Let $\{X, X_{n}; n \geq 1\}$ be a sequence of independent and identically distributed $\mathbf{B}$-valued random variables and set $S_{n} = \sum_{i=1}^{n}X_{i},~n \geq 1$. In this paper, a supplement to the classical laws…

We introduce a family of maps generating continued fractions where the digit $1$ in the numerator is replaced cyclically by some given non-negative integers $(N_1,\ldots,N_m)$. We prove the convergence of the given algorithm, and study the…

It is well-known that for every $N \geq 1$ and $d \geq 1$ there exist point sets $x_1, \dots, x_N \in [0,1]^d$ whose discrepancy with respect to the Lebesgue measure is of order at most $(\log N)^{d-1} N^{-1}$. In a more general setting,…

We study density thresholds that force a measurable set $E\subseteq\mathbb{R}^d$ to contain all sufficiently large similar copies of every $n$-point configuration. We prove a lower bound of the form $1-O((\log n)/n)$, which matches the…

This paper presents results pertaining to sequential methods for support recovery of sparse signals in noise. Specifically, we show that any sequential measurement procedure fails provided the average number of measurements per dimension…
