We have developed a heuristic showing that in the Dirichlet divisor problem for the almost all $n \in \mathbb{N}^{+}$: $$ R(n) \leq O(\psi(n)n^{\frac{1}{4}}) $$ where $$ R(n) = \Big\lvert \sum_{x=1}^{n}\Big\lfloor\frac{n}{x}\Big\rfloor -…

A dynamical array consists of a family of functions $\{f_{n,i}: 1\le i\le k(n), n\ge 1\}$ and a family of initial times $\{\tau_{n,i}: 1\le i\le k(n), n\ge 1\}$. For a dynamical system $(X,T)$ we identify distributional limits for sums of…

Bernstein's theorem (also called Hausdorff--Bernstein--Widder theorem) enables the integral representation of a completely monotonic function. We introduce a finite completely monotonic function, which is a completely monotonic function…

Let $(x_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be a sequence on the torus $\mathbb{T}$ (normalized to length 1). We show that if there exists a sequence of positive real numbers $(t_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ converging to 0 such that $$\lim_{N \rightarrow \infty}{…

We observe that approximate copies of the function $\Lambda _{n}:\mathbb{R}^{n}\rightarrow (0,\infty )$ defined by \begin{equation*} \Lambda _{n}(x)=\exp \left( -x_{1}-\pi \sum_{i=2}^{n}x_{i}^{2}\right) \end{equation*} appear in the tails…

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…

In this paper we carry out an asymptotic analysis of the proximal-gradient dynamical system \begin{equation*}\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \dot x(t) +x(t) = \prox_{\gamma f}\big[x(t)-\gamma\nabla\Phi(x(t))-ax(t)-by(t)\big],\\ \dot…

From mostly a measure-theoretic consideration, we show that for every nonnegative, finite, and $L^{1}$ function on a given finite measure space there is some nontrivial sequence of real numbers such that the series, obtained from summing…

The Diophantine sums $\sum_{n=1}^N \| n \alpha \|^{-1}$ and $\sum_{n=1}^N n^{-1} \| n \alpha \|^{-1}$ appear in many different areas including the ergodic theory of circle rotations, lattice point counting and random walks, often in…

A duality formula, of the Hardy and Littlewood type for multidimensional Gaussian sums, is proved in order to estimate the asymptotic long time behavior of distribution of Birkhoff sums $S_n$ of a sequence generated by a skew product…

We study the properties of linear and non-linear determining functionals for dissipative dynamical systems generated by PDEs. The main attention is payed to the lower bounds for the number of such functionals. In contradiction to the common…

For an irrational $\alpha\in(0,1)$, we investigate the Ostrowski sum-of-digits function $\sigma_\alpha$. For $\alpha$ having bounded partial quotients and $\vartheta\in\mathbb R\setminus\mathbb Z$, we prove that the function $g:n\mapsto…

We prove that the divisor function $d(n)$ counting the number of divisors of the integer $n$, is a good weighting function for the pointwise ergodic theorem. For any measurable dynamical system $(X, {\mathcal A},\nu,\tau)$ and any $f\in…

We show that the probability distribution function that best fits the distribution of return times between two consecutive visits of a chaotic trajectory to finite size regions in phase space deviates from the exponential statistics by a…

In an effort to extend classical Fourier theory, Hedenmalm and Montes-Rodr\'{\i}guez (2011) found that the function system \[ e_m(x)=e^{i\pi mx},\quad e_n^\dagger(x)=e_n(-1/x)=e^{-i\pi n/x} \] is weak-star complete in…

The change-making problem consists of representing a certain amount of money with the least possible number of coins, from a given, pre-established set of denominations. The greedy algorithm works by choosing the coins of largest possible…

Given a periodic function $f$, we study the convergence almost everywhere and in norm of the series $\sum_{k} c_k f(kx)$. Let $f(x)= \sum_{m=1}^\infty a_m \sin {2\pi m x}$ where $\sum_{m=1}^\infty a_{m }^2d(m) <\infty$ and $d(m)=\sum_{d|m}…
