This survey paper discusses the history of approximation formulas for n-th order derivatives by integrals involving orthogonal polynomials. There is a large but rather disconnected corpus of literature on such formulas. We give some results…

Integration over curved manifolds with higher codimension and, separately, discrete variants of continuous operators, have been two important, yet separate themes in harmonic analysis, discrete geometry and analytic number theory research.…

Trigonometric polynomials are widely used for the approximation of a smooth function $f$ from a set of nonuniformly spaced samples $\{f(x_j)\}_{j=0}^{N-1}$. If the samples are perturbed by noise, controlling the smoothness of the…

Let ${\mathfrak A}$ be a $C^*$-algebra, $T$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space equipped with a probability measure $P$ and let $(A_t)_{t\in T}$ be a continuous field of operators in ${\mathfrak A}$ such that the function $t \mapsto A_t$…

We extend the Matom\"{a}ki-Radziwi\l\l{} theorem to a large collection of unbounded multiplicative functions that are uniformly bounded, but not necessarily bounded by 1, on the primes. Our result allows us to estimate averages of such a…

Let $f,g_1,\dots,g_m$ be polynomials with real coefficients in a vector of variables $x=(x_1,\dots,x_n)$. Denote by $\text{diag}(g)$ the diagonal matrix with coefficients $g=(g_1,\dots,g_m)$ and denote by $\nabla g$ the Jacobian of $g$. Let…

We study estimation of a multivariate function $f:\mathbf{R}^d\to\mathbf{R}$ when the observations are available from the function $Af$, where $A$ is a known linear operator. Both the Gaussian white noise model and density estimation are…

Let $S_p(n)$ denote the sum of $p$th powers of the first $n$ positive integers $1^p + 2^p + \cdots + n^p$. In this paper, first we express $S_p(n)$ in the so-called Faulhaber form, namely, as an even or odd polynomial in $(n + 1/2)$,…

Let $q, m\geq 2$ be integers with $(m,q-1)=1$. Denote by $s_q(n)$ the sum of digits of $n$ in the $q$-ary digital expansion. Further let $p(x)\in mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a polynomial of degree $h\geq 3$ with $p(\mathbb{N})\subset \mathbb{N}$. We…

Let $f: \mathbb{Z}_+\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}_+$ be a polynomial with the property that corresponding to every prime $p$ there exists an integer $\ell$ such that $p\nmid f(\ell)$. In this paper, we establish some equidistributed results…

The arithmetic partial derivative (with respect to a prime $p$) is a function from the set of integers that sends $p$ to 1 and satisfies the Leibniz rule. In this paper, we prove that the $p$-adic valuation of the sequence of higher order…

This paper considers filtered polynomial approximations on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^d\subset \mathbb{R}^{d+1}$, obtained by truncating smoothly the Fourier series of an integrable function $f$ with the help of a "filter" $h$, which is a…

We generalize a method developed by Sarig to obtain polynomial lower bounds for correlation functions for maps with a countable Markov partition. A consequence is that LS Young's estimates on towers are always optimal. Moreover, we show…

It is not surprising that one should expect that the degree of constrained (shape preserving) approximation be worse than the degree of unconstrained approximation. However, it turns out that, in certain cases, these degrees are the same.…

Let $A$ be a bounded linear operator defined on a complex Hilbert space and let $|A|=(A^*A)^{1/2}$ be the positive square root of $A$. Among other refinements of the well known numerical radius inequality $w^2(A)\leq \frac12 \|A^*A+AA^*\|$,…

Assume $n\geq 2$. Consider the elementary symmetric polynomials $e_k(y_1,y_2,\ldots, y_n)$ and denote by $E_0,E_1,\ldots,E_{n-1}$ the elementary symmetric polynomials in reverse order \begin{align*}…

We study function estimation in the empirical Bayes setting for Poisson and normal means. Specifically, given observations $Y_i\sim f(\cdot; \theta_i)$ with latent parameters $\theta_i\sim \pi$, the goal is to estimate…

A polynomial $f$ of degree $d$ and coefficients in an algebraically closed field $k$ defines a morphism $f:\mathbb{P}^1_k\longrightarrow\mathbb{P}^1_k$ which, if char$(k)\nmid d$, is unramified outside a finite set of points in the image:…
