We show that the set of Julia limiting directions of a transcendental-type $K$-quasiregular mapping $f:\mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}^n$ must contain a component of a certain size, depending on the dimension $n$, the maximal dilatation $K$, and…

Denote by s_F(n) the minimal number of Fibonacci numbers needed to write n as a sum of Fibonacci numbers. We obtain the extremal minimal and maximal orders of magnitude of s_F(n^h)/s_F(n) for any h>= 2. We use this to show that for all…

Let F be a class of functions with the uniqueness property: if a function f in F vanishes on a set of positive measure, then f is the zero function. In many instances, we would like to have a quantitative version of this property, e.g. a…

We establish formulas for the number of all downsets (or equivalently, of all antichains) of a finite poset P. Then, using these numbers, we determine recursively and explicitly the number of all posets having a fixed set of minimal points…

Let $S=\{p_1,\dots,p_s\}$ be a finite non-empty set of distinct prime numbers, let $f\in \mathbb{Z}[X]$ be a polynomial of degree $n\ge 1$, and let $S'\subseteq S$ be the subset of all $p\in S$ such that $f$ has a root in $\mathbb{Z}_p$.…

We present a new form and a short full proof of explicit two-sided estimates for the distribution function F_{n,p}(x) of the binomial law from the paper published by D.Alfers and H.Dinges in 1984. These inequalities are universal (valid for…

A wide variety of problems in combinatorics and discrete optimization depend on counting the set $S$ of integer points in a polytope, or in some more general object constructed via discrete geometry and first-order logic. We take a tour…

The uniqueness problems on transcendental meromorphic or entire functions sharing at least two values with their derivatives or linear differential polynomials have been studied and many results have been obtained. In this paper, we study a…

Let $\mathcal{F}_{n}^*$ be the set of Boolean functions depending on all $n$ variables. We prove that for any $f\in \mathcal{F}_{n}^*$, $f|_{x_i=0}$ or $f|_{x_i=1}$ depends on the remaining $n-1$ variables, for some variable $x_i$. This…

Let H(N) denote the set of all polynomials with positive integer coefficients which have their zeros in the open left half-plane. We are looking for polynomials in H(N) whose largest coefficients are as small as possible and also for…

We prove endpoint bounds for derivatives of fractional maximal functions with either smooth convolution kernel or lacunary set of radii in dimensions $n \geq 2$. We also show that the spherical fractional maximal function maps $L^{p}$ into…

We establish upper bounds on the size of the largest subset of $\{1,2,\dots,N\}$ lacking nonzero differences of the form $h(p_1,\dots,p_{\ell})$, where $h\in \mathbb{Z}[x_1,\dots,x_{\ell}]$ is a fixed polynomial satisfying appropriate…

Baker's conjecture states that a transcendental entire function of order less than $1/2$ has no unbounded Fatou components. It is known that, for such functions, there are no unbounded periodic Fatou components and so it remains to show…

Given a posimodular function $f: 2^V \to \mathbb{R}$ on a finite set $V$, we consider the problem of finding a nonempty subset $X$ of $V$ that minimizes $f(X)$. Posimodular functions often arise in combinatorial optimization such as…

We consider the problem of estimating an unknown function f* and its partial derivatives from a noisy data set of n observations, where we make no assumptions about f* except that it is smooth in the sense that it has square integrable…

For an infinite iterated function system $\mathbf{f}$ on $[0,1]$ with an attractor $\Lambda(\mathbf{f})$ and for an infinite subset $D\subseteq \mathbb{N}$, consider the set \[ \mathbb E(\mathbf{f},D)= \{ x \in \Lambda(\mathbf{f}):…

Most integers are composite and most univariate polynomials over a finite field are reducible. The Prime Number Theorem and a classical result of Gau{\ss} count the remaining ones, approximately and exactly. For polynomials in two or more…

Let $f$ be a polynomial over a global field $K$. For each $\alpha$ in $K$ and $N$ in $\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$ denote by $K_N(f,\alpha)$ the arboreal field $K(f^{-N}(\alpha))$ and by $D_N(f,\alpha)$ its degree over $K$. It is conjectured that…

Let ${\mathcal B}=\{b_i \}_{i=1}^\infty$ be a fixed sequence of pairwise distinct elements of a number field $k$. Given the integers $2\leq s \leq r$, assuming a quantitative version of Vojta's conjecture on the bounded degree algebraic…

In this paper, we expand functions of specific $q$-exponential growth in terms of its even (odd) Askey- Wilson $q$-derivatives at $0$ and $\eta=(q^{1/4}+q^{-1/4})/2$. This expansion is a $q$-version of the celebrated Lidstone expansion…
