In this paper, we present two main results. Let $K$ be a number field that is Galois over $\mathbb{Q}$ with degree $r+2s$, where $r$ is the number of real embeddings and $s$ is the number of pairs of complex embeddings. The first result…

In 1999, Kleban and \"Ozl\"uk introduced a `Farey fraction spin chain' and made a conjecture regarding its asymptotic number of states with given energy, the latter being given (up to some normalisation) by the number $\Phi(N)$ of…

In 1985, Boshernitzan showed that a minimal (sub)shift satisfying a linear block growth condition must have a bounded number of ergodic probability measures. Recently, this bound was shown to be sharp through examples constructed by Cyr and…

Let $F(x) := (f_{ij}(x))_{i=1,\ldots,p; j=1,\ldots,q},$ be a ($p\times q$)-real polynomial matrix and let $f(x)$ be the smallest singular value function of $F(x).$ In this paper, we first give the following {\em nonsmooth} version of \L…

We show existence of fundamental domains which minimize a general perimeter functional in a homogeneous metric measure space. In some cases, which include the usual perimeter in the universal cover of a closed Riemannian manifold, and the…

Let $g \geq 2$. A real number is said to be g-normal if its base g expansion contains every finite sequence of digits with the expected limiting frequency. Let \phi denote Euler's totient function, let \sigma be the sum-of-divisors…

A practical algorithm to compute the fundamental domain of an arithmetic Fuchsian group was given by Voight, and implemented in Magma. It was later expanded by Page to the case of arithmetic Kleinian groups. We combine and improve on parts…

Let $\varphi$ be a locally upper bounded Borel measurable function on a Greenian open set $\Omega$ in $R^d$ and, for every $x\in \Omega$, let $v_\varphi(x)$ denote the infimum of the integrals of $\varphi$ with respect to Jensen measures…

We suggest a new optimization technique for minimizing the sum $\sum_{i=1}^n f_i(x)$ of $n$ non-convex real functions that satisfy a property that we call piecewise log-Lipschitz. This is by forging links between techniques in computational…

By a Ruspini partition we mean a finite family of fuzzy sets $\{f_1, \ldots, f_n\}$, $f_i : [0,1] \to [0,1]$, such that $\sum_{i=1}^n f_i(x)=1$ for all $x \in [0,1]$, where $[0,1]$ denotes the real unit interval. We analyze such partitions…

Considering $\mathbb{Z}_n$ the ring of integers modulo $n$, the classical Fermat-Euler theorem establishes the existence of a specific natural number $\varphi(n)$ satisfying the following property: $ x^{\varphi(n)}=1%\hspace{1.0cm}\text{for…

Let $\gcd(k,j)$ denote the greatest common divisor of the integers $k$ and $j$, and let $r$ be any fixed positive integer. Define $$ M_r(x; f) := \sum_{k\leq x}\frac{1}{k^{r+1}}\sum_{j=1}^{k}j^{r}f(\gcd(j,k)) $$ for any large real number…

This short note describes the connection between strong minimality of the differential equation satisfied by an complex analytic function and the real and imaginary parts of the function being Pfaffian. This connection combined with a…

The weak lower semicontinuity of the functional $$ F(u)=\int_{\Omega}f(x,u,\nabla u)\, dx$$ is a classical topic that was studied thoroughly. It was shown that if the function $f$ is continuous and convex in the last variable, the…

A result of Monsky states that the Hilbert-Kunz function of a one-dimensional local ring of prime characteristic has a term $\phi$ that is eventually periodic. For example, in the case of a power series ring in one variable over a…

We show that the class of Kalm\'ar elementary functions can be inductively generated from the addition, the integer remainder, and the base-two exponentiation, hence improving previous results by Marchenkov and Mazzanti. We also prove that…

We consider the binary supervised classification problem with the Gaussian functional model introduced in [7]. Taking advantage of the Gaussian structure, we design a natural plug-in classifier and derive a family of upper bounds on its…
