Inequalities, asymptotics and, for some specific cases, asymptotical expansions were obtained for generalized Mathieu's series. A connection between inequalities for Mathieu's series and positive definite and completely monotonic functions.

Any function F : {0,...,N-1} -> {-1,1} such that F(x) can be computed from the binary digits of x using a bounded depth circuit is orthogonal to the Mobius function mu in the sense that E_{0 <= x <= N-1} mu(x)F(x) = o(1). The proof combines…

We study the autocorrelation function of a conserved spin system following a quench at the critical temperature. Defining the correlation length L(t)\sim t^{1/z}, we find that for times t' and t satisfying L(t') << L(t) << L(t')^\phi well…

We propose a self-contained and accessible derivation of an exact formula for the $n$-point correlation functions of the signal measured when continuously observing a quantum system. The expression depends on the initial quantum state and…

Let $ x\geq 1 $ be a large number, let $ [x]=x-\{x\} $ be the largest integer function, and let $ \varphi(n)$ be the Euler totient function. The result $ \sum_{n\leq x}\varphi([x/n])=(6/\pi^2)x\log x+O\left ( x(\log x)^{2/3}(\log\log…

We show that if $f$ is the random completely multiplicative function, the probability that $\sum_{n\le x}\frac{f(n)}{n}$ is positive for every $x$ is at least $1-10^{-45}$, while also strictly smaller than $1$. For large $x$, we prove an…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold. A {\em self-interacting diffusion} on $M$ is a stochastic process solution to $$dX_t = dW_t(X_t) - \frac{1}{t}(\int_0^t \nabla V_{X_s}(X_t)ds)dt$$ where $\{W_t\}$ is a Brownian vector field on $M$…

In this paper, we derive new properties of the Mertens function and discuss a likely upper bound of the absolute value of the Mertens function $\sqrt{\log{x!}}>|M(x)|$ when $x>1$. Using this likely bound we show that we have a sufficient…

Denote by $\tau$ k (n), $\omega$(n) and $\mu$ 2 (n) the number of representations of n as product of k natural numbers, the number of distinct prime factors of n and the characteristic function of the square-free integers, respectively. Let…

We discuss the multiplicity of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function and the summatory function $M(x)$ of the M\"obius function. The purpose of this paper is to consider two open problems under some conjectures. One is that…

We discuss connection between the XX0 Heisenberg spin chain and some aspects of enumerative combinatorics. The representation of the Bethe wave functions via the Schur functions allows to apply the theory of symmetric functions to the…

Let $A\subset [1,N]$ be a set of positive integers with $|A|\gg \sqrt N$. We show that if avoids about $p/2$ residue classes modulo $p$ for each prime $p$, the $A$ must correlate additively with the squares $S=\{n^2:1\leq n\leq \sqrt N\}$,…

We consider the asymptotic expansion of the Mathieu-Bessel series \[S_\nu(a,b)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{n^\gamma J_\nu(nb/a)}{(n^2+a^2)^\mu}, \qquad (\mu, b>0,\ \gamma, \nu\in {\bf R})\] as $a\to+\infty$ with the other parameters held fixed,…

We prove that when $f$ is a Rademacher random multiplicative function for any $\epsilon>0$, then $\sum_{n \leqslant x}\frac{f(n)}{\sqrt{n}} \ll (\log\log(x))^{3/4+\epsilon}$ for almost all $f$. We also show that there exist arbitrarily…

Let $\zeta^k(s) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \tau_k(n) n^{-s}, \Re s > 1$. We present three conditional results on the ternary additive correlation sum $$\sum_{n\le X} \tau_3(n) \tau_3(n+h),\quad (h\ge 1),$$ and give numerical verifications of our…

Let $x$ be a real number satisfying $x \geq 2$. For any positive integer $n$, we define $s(n)$ as the smallest non-negative integer such that $n + s(n)$ is a perfect square. In this paper, we derive an asymptotic formula for the sum…

A transformed auto-correlation method is presented here, where a received signal is transformed based on a priori reflecting model, and then the transformed signal is cross-correlated to its original one. If the model is correct, after…

We propose a new autocorrelation measure for functional time series that we term spherical autocorrelation. It is based on measuring the average angle between lagged pairs of series after having been projected onto the unit sphere. This new…
