We improve the best known upper bound for the bracketing number of $d$-dimensional axis-parallel boxes anchored in $0$ (or, put differently, of lower left orthants intersected with the $d$-dimensional unit cube $[0,1]^d$). More precisely,…

By a result of Heinrich, Novak, Wasilkowski and Wo\'zniakowski the inverse of the star discrepancy $n(d,\varepsilon)$ satisfies $n(d,\varepsilon)\leq c_{\abs}d\varepsilon^{-2}$. Equivalently for any $N$ and $d$ there exists a set of $N$…

We establish the existence of $N$-point sets in dimension $d$ whose star-discrepancy is bounded above by $2.4631832 \sqrt{\frac{d}{N}}$, where the numerical constant improves upon all previously known bounds. This improvement is obtained by…

In this paper we present a generalization of Faulhaber's formula to sums of arbitrary complex powers $m\in\mathbb{C}$. These summation formulas for sums of the form $\sum_{k=1}^{\lfloor x\rfloor}k^{m}$ and $\sum_{k=1}^{n}k^{m}$, where…

In this note we consider the theorem established in arXiv:1912.07171 concerning the sums of powers of the first $n$ positive integers, $S_k = 1^k + 2^k + \cdots + n^k$, and show that it can be used to demonstrate the classical theorem of…

We present some extensions of Bernstein's concentration inequality for random matrices. This inequality has become a useful and powerful tool for many problems in statistics, signal processing and theoretical computer science. The main…

By a profound result of Heinrich, Novak, Wasilkowski, and Wo{\'z}niakowski the inverse of the star-discrepancy $n^*(s,\ve)$ satisfies the upper bound $n^*(s,\ve) \leq c_{\mathrm{abs}} s \ve^{-2}$. This is equivalent to the fact that for any…

Fej\'er's theorem guarantees norm convergence of Ces\`aro means of Taylor partial sums in the Hardy space, whereas such convergence generally fails in weighted Dirichlet-type spaces, especially in the higher-order setting. In this paper, we…

Let ``Faulhaber's formula'' refer to an expression for the sum of powers of integers written with terms in n(n+1)/2. Initially, the author used Faulhaber's formula to explain why odd Bernoulli numbers are equal to zero. Next, Cereceda gave…

In this paper, we consider the upper bound of the probabilistic star discrepancy based on Hilbert space filling curve sampling. This problem originates from the multivariate integral approximation, but the main result removes the strict…

We present a new algorithm for estimating the star discrepancy of arbitrary point sets. Similar to the algorithm for discrepancy approximation of Winker and Fang [SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 34 (1997), 2028--2042] it is based on the optimization…

Early 17th-century mathematical publications of Johann Faulhaber contain some remarkable theorems, such as the fact that the $r$-fold summation of $1^m,2^m,...,n^m$ is a polynomial in $n(n+r)$ when $m$ is a positive odd number. The present…

In 2001 Heinrich, Novak, Wasilkowski and Wo\'zniakowski proved that the inverse of the star discrepancy satisfies $n(d,\varepsilon)\leq c_{\abs}d \varepsilon^{-2}$ by showing that there exists a set of points in $[0,1)^d$ whose…

In this paper, we consider mixed sums of generalized polygonal numbers. Specifically, we obtain a finiteness condition for universality of such sums; this means that it suffices to check representability of a finite subset of the positive…

We observe that the classical Faulhaber's theorem on sums of odd powers also holds for an arbitrary arithmetic progression, namely, the odd power sums of any arithmetic progression $a+b, a+2b, ..., a+nb$ is a polynomial in $na+n(n+1)b/2$.…

The primary objective of this paper is to establish several sharp results concerning the Bohr inequality, the refined Bohr inequality, and the improved Bohr inequality for the classes of analytic functions and harmonic mappings defined on…

We show that any $d$-Ahlfors regular subset of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ supporting a weak $(1,d)$-Poincar\'e inequality with respect to surface measure is uniformly rectifiable.

A problem of bounding the generalization error of a classifier f in H, where H is a "base" class of functions (classifiers), is considered. This problem frequently occurs in computer learning, where efficient algorithms of combining simple…

In this paper, we prove new upper bounds for sums of reciprocals of fractional parts over general aligned boxes, thus extending a previous result of the author concerning bounds for sums of reciprocals over symmetric boxes. These new upper…

For a bounded N-dimensional domain with Lipschitz boundary we extend Korn's first inequality to incompatible tensor fields. For compatible tensor fields our estimate reduces to a non-standard variant of the well known Korn's first…
