We consider functions on the $d$-dimensional unit cube whose partial derivatives up to order $r$ are bounded by one. It is known that the minimal number of function values that is needed to approximate the integral of such functions up to…

It has been well-observed that an inequality of the type $\pi(x;q,a) > \pi(x;q,b)$ is more likely to hold if $a$ is a non-square modulo $q$ and $b$ is a square modulo $q$ (the so-called ``Chebyshev Bias''). For instance, each of…

Results on two different settings of asymptotic behavior of approximation characteristics of individual functions are presented. First, we discuss the following classical question for sparse approximation. Is it true that for any individual…

We study the approximation of arbitrary distributions $P$ on $d$-dimensional space by distributions with log-concave density. Approximation means minimizing a Kullback--Leibler-type functional. We show that such an approximation exists if…

The method of self-similar factor approximants is completed by defining the approximants of odd orders, constructed from the power series with the largest term of an odd power. It is shown that the method provides good approximations for…

We continue our examination the effects of certain hypothetical configurations of zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions lying off the critical line ("barriers") on the relative magnitude of the functions $\pi_{q,a}(x)$. Here $\pi_{q,a}(x)$ is…

If $a$ and $d$ are relatively prime, we refer to the set of integers congruent to $a$ mod $d$ as an `eligible' arithmetic progression. A theorem of Dirichlet says that every eligible arithmetic progression contains infinitely many primes;…

We study Bayesian inference of an unknown matching $\pi^*$ between two correlated random point sets $\{X_i\}_{i=1}^n$ and $\{Y_i\}_{i=1}^n$ in $[0,1]^d$, under a critical scaling $\|X_i-Y_{\pi^*(i)}\|_2 \asymp n^{-1/d}$, in both an exact…

} The main goal of this note is to provide new, mostly multidimensional densities, compactly supported and list many of its properties that enable effective calculations. The idea of obtaining such densities is firstly to build some…

The results of the study provide guidelines for the development and applications of algorithms. When the number of steps for calculating an assumption tends to infinity, probability theory can be applied to predict whether the assumption…

The celebrated Artin conjecture on primitive roots asserts that given any integer $g$ which is neither $-1$ nor a perfect square, there is an explicit constant $A(g)>0$ such that the number $\Pi(x;g)$ of primes $p\le x$ for which $g$ is a…

Let \beta be a real number. Then for almost all irrational \alpha>0 (in the sense of Lebesgue measure) \limsup_{x\to\infty}\pi_{\alpha,\beta}^*(x)(\log x)^2/x>=1, where \pi_{\alpha,\beta}^*(x)={p<=x: both p and [\alpha p+\beta] are primes}.

Most prime gaps results have been proven using tools from analytic or algebraic number theory in the last few centuries. In this paper, we would like to present some probabilistic way of proving many essential results. A major component of…

In this paper, we describe an algorithm for approximating functions of the form $f(x)=\int_{a}^{b} x^{\mu} \sigma(\mu) \, d \mu$ over $[0,1]$, where $\sigma(\mu)$ is some signed Radon measure, or, more generally, of the form $f(x) =…

We investigate the approximation of $d$-variate periodic functions in Sobolev spaces of dominating mixed (fractional) smoothness $s>0$ on the $d$-dimensional torus, where the approximation error is measured in the $L_2-$norm. In other…

Let $k\leq n$. Each polynomial $p\in\oR[x_1,...,x_n]$ can be uniquely written as $p=\sum_{\mu}\mu p_{\mu}$, where $\mu$ ranges over the set $M$ of all monomials in $\oR[x_1,...,x_k]$ and where $p_{\mu}\in\oR[x_{k+1},...,x_n]$. If $p$ is…
