For relatively prime positive integers u_0 and r, we consider the arithmetic progression {u_k := u_0+k*r} (0 <= k <= n). Define L_n := lcm{u_0,u_1,...,u_n} and let a >= 2 be any integer. In this paper, we show that, for integers alpha,r >=…

We determine the asymptotic behavior of the $l_{p}$-norms of the sequence of Taylor coefficients of $b^{n}$, where $b=\frac{z-\lambda}{1-\bar{\lambda}z}$ is an automorphism of the unit disk, $p\in[1,\infty]$, and $n$ is large. It is known…

We recall that $w\in C_{p}^{+}$ if there exist $\varepsilon>0$ and $C>0$ such that for any $a<b<c$ with $c-b<b-a$ and any measurable set $E\subset(a,b)$, the following holds \[ \int_{E}w\leq…

We give a lower bound for Wiener norm of characteristic function of subsets A from Z_p, p is a prime number, in the situation when exp((log p/log log p)^{1/3}) \le |A| \le p/3.

A function $f:\ \{-1,1\}^n\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is called pseudo-Boolean. It is well-known that each pseudo-Boolean function $f$ can be written as $f(x)=\sum_{I\in {\cal F}}\hat{f}(I)\chi_I(x),$ where ${\cal F}\subseteq \{I:\ I\subseteq…

In this paper, we show a new upper bound of prime gaps, that is the gap between a prime number and its consecutive prime number. We show that the gap between a prime number $p_n$ and its consecutive prime number is not larger than…

Consider the stationary measure of open asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) on the lattice $\{1,\dots,n\}$. Taking $n$ to infinity while fixing the jump rates, this measure converges to a measure on the semi-infinite lattice. In the…

We show that any subset of $\mathbb{Z}_p^n$ ($p$ an odd prime) without $3$-term arithmetic progression has size $O(p^{cn})$, where $c:=1-\frac{1}{18\log p}<1$. In particular, we find an upper bound of $O(2.84^n)$ on the maximum size of an…

For a prime number $p$ and integer $x$ with $\gcd(x,p)=1$ let $\overline{x}$ denote the multiplicative inverse of $x$ modulo $p.$ In the present paper we are interested in the problem of distribution modulo $p$ of the sequence $$…

Using some resolution of singularities and oscillatory integral methods in conjunction with appropriate damping and interpolation techniques, L^p boundedness theorems for p > 2 are obtained for maximal operators over a wide range of…

For integers $m$ and $n$, we study the problem of finding good lower bounds for the size of progression-free sets in $(\mathbb{Z}_{m}^{n},+)$. Let $r_{k}(\mathbb{Z}_{m}^{n})$ denote the maximal size of a subset of $\mathbb{Z}_{m}^{n}$…

Suppose that $1<p\leq\infty$ and $\varphi\in L^{p}(\mathbb{B}^{n},\mathbb{R}^{n}).$ In this note, we use H\"{o}lder inequality and some basic properties of hypergeometric functions to establish the sharp constant $C_{p}$ and function…

Let $n, k$ and $a$ be positive integers. The Stirling numbers of the first kind, denoted by $s(n,k)$, count the number of permutations of $n$ elements with $k$ disjoint cycles. Let $p$ be a prime. In recent years, Lengyel, Komatsu and…

Dependencies of the optimal constants in strong and weak type bounds will be studied between maximal functions corresponding to the Hardy--Littlewood averaging operators over convex symmetric bodies acting on $\mathbb R^d$ and $\mathbb…

We study number theoretic properties of the map $x \mapsto x^{x} \mod{p}$, where $x \in \{1,2,\ldots,p-1\}$, and improve on some recent upper bounds, due to Kurlberg, Luca, and Shparlinski, on the number of primes $p < N$ for which the map…

We consider the spaces $A_p(\mathbb T^m)$ of functions $f$ on the $m$ -dimensional torus $\mathbb T^m$ such that the sequence of the Fourier coefficients $\hat{f}=\{\hat{f}(k), ~k \in \mathbb Z^m\}$ belongs to $l^p(\mathbb Z^m), ~1\leq…

Given a zero-free region and an averaged zero-density estimate over all Dirichlet $L$-functions modulo $q\in\mathbb{N}$, we refine the error terms of the prime number theorem in all and almost all short arithmetic progressions. For example,…

Let $X$ be a supermartingale starting from $0$ which has only nonnegative jumps. For each $0<p<1$ we determine the best constants $c_p$, $C_p$ and $\mathfrak{c}_p$ such that $$ \,\,\,\,\sup_{t\geq 0}\left|\left|X_t\right|\right|_p\leq…

The mid-p-value is a proposed improvement on the ordinary p-value for the case where the test statistic is partially or completely discrete. In this case, the ordinary p-value is conservative, meaning that its null distribution is larger…
