The purpose of the present paper is to investigate some structural and qualitative aspects of two different perturbations of the parameters of $g$-fractions. In this context the concept of \emph{gap} $g$-fractions is introduced. While tail…

We study the maximum modulus set, $\mathcal{M}(p)$, of a polynomial $p$. We are interested in constructing $p$ so that $\mathcal{M}(p)$ has certain exceptional features. Jassim and London gave a cubic polynomial $p$ such that…

We obtain an explicit upper bound on the size of the coefficients of the elliptic modular polynomials $\Phi_N$ for any $N\geq1$. These polynomials vanish at pairs of $j$-invariants of elliptic curves linked by cyclic isogenies of degree…

Let S(n,0) be the set of monic complex polynomials of degree $n\ge 2$ having all their zeros in the closed unit disk and vanishing at 0. For $p\in S(n,0)$ denote by $|p|_{0}$ the distance from the origin to the zero set of $p'$. We…

Gaps (or spacings) between consecutive eigenvalues are a central topic in random matrix theory. The goal of this paper is to study the tail distribution of these gaps in various random matrix models. We give the first repulsion bound for…

We discuss the problems of uniqueness, sampling and reconstruction with derivatives in the space of bandlimited functions. We prove that if X is sequence of real numbers such that the maximum gap between two consecutive samples is less than…

We work out the optimization problem, initiated by K. Soundararajan, for the choice of the underlying polynomial P used in the construction of the weight function in the Goldston--Pintz--Yildirim method for finding small gaps between…

Let $p$ be a prime number. As a standard application of the irreducibility criterion of Eisenstein, it is well known that the $p$-th cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_p(t)=1+t+\dots+t^{p-1}$ is the minimal polynomial of $e^{2\pi i/p}$ over…

We contribute to the exceptional APN conjecture by showing that no polynomial of degree m = 2 r (2 {\ell} + 1) where gcd(r, {\ell}) 2, r 2, {\ell} 1 with a nonzero second leading coefficient can be APN over infinitely many extensions of the…

We study the first occurrences of gaps between primes in the arithmetic progression (P): $r$, $r+q$, $r+2q$, $r+3q,\ldots,$ where $q$ and $r$ are coprime integers, $q>r\ge1$. The growth trend and distribution of the first-occurrence gap…

We posit that $d_n^2 < 2p_{n+1}$ holds for all $n\geq 1$, where $p_n$ represents the $n$th prime and $d_n$ stands for the $n$th prime gap i.e. $d_n := p_{n+1} - p_n$. Then, the presence of a prime between successive perfect squares, as well…

We study whether several consecutive prime gaps can all be relatively large at the same time, or is it possible that all are squares or perfect powers, or perhaps none of them are squares? A few related results and problems are also…

We show that the number of all maximal $\alpha$-gapped repeats and palindromes of a word of length $n$ is at most $3(\pi^2/6 + 5/2) \alpha n$ and $7 (\pi^2 / 6 + 1/2) \alpha n - 5 n - 1$, respectively.

The periods of polynomials can be used to characterize discrete structures such as algebraic error control codes and feedback shift registers. We study trinomial $x^h+x+1$ over GF(2), which has the maximum number of consecutive zero…

Recently, in a work that grew out of their exploration of interlacing polynomials, Marcus, Spielman and Srivastava and then Marcus studied certain combinatorial polynomial convolutions. These convolutions preserve real-rootedness and…

We investigate some extremal problems in Fourier analysis and their connection to a problem in prime number theory. In particular, we improve the current bounds for the largest possible gap between consecutive primes assuming the Riemann…

The paper considers the asymptotic of the ratio of the number of primes not exceeding the primorial and the number of residues in the reduced system of residues for the given primorial. We study the relationship between asymptotic lower…

We say that a cyclotomic polynomial Phi_{n}(x) has order three if n is the product of three distinct primes, p<q<r. Let A(n) be the largest absolute value of a coefficient of Phi_{n}(x) and M(p) be the maximum of A(pqr). In 1968, Sister…

We show that for any positive integer $h$, either $h$ or $h+1$ is a height of some cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_n$, where $n$ is a product of three distinct primes.

Based on the primes less than $4 \times 10^{18}$, Oliveira e Silva et al. (2014) conjectured an asymptotic formula for the sum of the $k$th power of the gaps between consecutive primes less than a large number $x$. We show that the…
