Let $k\geq 2$ be a fixed natural number. We establish the existence of infinitely many pairs of consecutive primes $p_n$, $p_{n+1}$ satisfying $$ p_{n+1}-p_n\geq c\:\frac{\log p_n\: \log_2 p_n\: \log_4 p_n}{\log_3 p_n}\:,$$ with $c$ being a…

We consider iterated function systems on the interval with random perturbation. Let $Y_\epsilon$ be uniformly distributed in $[1- \epsilon, 1 + \epsilon]$ and let $f_i \in C^{1+\alpha}$ be contractions with fixpoints $a_i$. We consider the…

This paper characterizes when a Delone set X is an ideal crystal in terms of restrictions on the number of its local patches of a given size or on the hetereogeneity of their distribution. Let N(T) count the number of…

For $\lambda \in (1/2, 1)$ and $\alpha$, we consider sets of numbers $x$ such that for infinitely many $n$, $x$ is $2^{-\alpha n}$-close to some $\sum_{i=1}^n \omega_i \lambda^i$, where $\omega_i \in \{0,1\}$. These sets are in Falconer's…

We extend a result of Han\v{c}l, Kolouch and Nair on the irrationality and transcendence of continued fractions. We show that for a sequence $\{\alpha_n\}$ of algebraic integers of bounded degree, each attaining the maximum absolute value…

The dynamical system generated by the iterated calculation of the high order gaps between neighboring terms of a sequence of natural numbers is remarkable and only incidentally characterized at the boundary by the notable Proth-Glibreath…

For a prime p and natural number n with p greater than or equal to n, we establish the existence of a non-functorial one-to-one correspondence between isomorphism classes of groups of order p^n whose derived subgroup has exponent dividing…

It is well-known that for a quickly increasing sequence $(n_k)_{k \geq 1}$ the functions $(\cos 2 \pi n_k x)_{k \geq 1}$ show a behavior which is typical for sequences of independent random variables. If the growth condition on $(n_k)_{k…

In this paper we prove the following renewal-type limit theorem. Given an irrational $\alpha$ in (0,1) and R>0, let $q_{n_R}$ be the first denominator of the convergents of $\alpha$ which exceeds R. The main result in the paper is that the…

Pach showed that every $d+1$ sets of points $Q_1,\dotsc,Q_{d+1} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ contain linearly-sized subsets $P_i\subset Q_i$ such that all the transversal simplices that they span intersect. We show, by means of an example, that a…

We obtain explicit forms of the current best known asymptotic upper bounds for gaps between squarefree integers. In particular we show, for any $x \ge 2$, that every interval of the form $(x, x + 11x^{1/5}\log x]$ contains a squarefree…

An $n$-vertex, $d$-regular graph can have at most $2^{n/2+o_d(n)}$ independent sets. In this paper we address what happens with this upper bound when we impose the further condition that the graph has independence number at most $\alpha$.…

For any real number $\beta>1$. The $n$th cylinder of $\beta$ in the parameter space $\{\beta\in \mathbb{R}: \beta>1\}$ is a set of real numbers in $(1,\infty)$ having the same first $n$ digits in their $\beta$-expansion of $1$, denote by…

We consider the semilinear elliptic equations $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} &-\Delta u+V(x)u=\left(I_\alpha\ast |u|^p\right)|u|^{p-2}u+\lambda u\quad \hbox{for } x\in\mathbb R^N, \\ &u(x) \to 0 \hbox{ as } |x| \to\infty, \end{array} \right.…

For any positive integer $n$ along with parameters $\alpha$ and $\nu$, we define and investigate $\alpha$-shifted, $\nu$-offset, floor sequences of length $n$. We find exact and asymptotic formulas for the number of integers in such a…

Let $q\in(1,2)$; it is known that each $x\in[0,1/(q-1)]$ has an expansion of the form $x=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_nq^{-n}$ with $a_n\in\{0,1\}$. It was shown in \cite{EJK} that if $q<(\sqrt5+1)/2$, then each $x\in(0,1/(q-1))$ has a continuum of…

We obtain an asymptotic expansion for $p(n)$, the number of partitions of a natural number $n$, starting from a formula that relates its generating function $f(t), t\in (0,1)$ with the characteristic functions of a family of sums of…

We give a detailed and easily accessible proof of Gromov's Topological Overlap Theorem. Let $X$ be a finite simplicial complex or, more generally, a finite polyhedral cell complex of dimension $d$. Informally, the theorem states that if $X$…
