An $n$-list $\lambda:=\left(r; \lambda_2, \ldots, \lambda_n\right)$ of complex numbers with $r>0,$ is said to be realizable if $\lambda$ is the spectrum of $n\times n$ nonnegative matrix $A$ and in this case $A$ is said to be a nonnegative…

We present a theory of reduction of binary quadratic forms with coefficients in Z[lambda], where lambda is the minimal translation in a Hecke group. We generalize from the modular group Gamma(1) = SL(2,Z) to the Hecke groups and make…

Let $\Lambda \subset \mathbb R^n$ be an algebraic lattice, coming from a projective module over the ring of integers of a number field $K$. Let $\mathcal Z \subset \mathbb R^n$ be the zero locus of a finite collection of polynomials such…

Let $\lambda$ be the Liouville function, defined as $\lambda(n) := (-1)^{\Omega(n)}$ where $\Omega(n)$ is the number of prime factors of $n$ with multiplicity. In 2021, Helfgott and Radziwi{\l}{\l} proved that $$\sum_{n\leq x} \frac{1}{n}…

In this paper we show that, if an increasing sequence $\Lambda=(\lambda_k)_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}$ has gaps going to infinity $\lambda_{k+1}-\lambda_k\to +\infty$ when $k\to\pm\infty$, then for every $T>0$ and every sequence…

Let $\mathbb N$ be the set of positive integers, and denote by $\lambda(A)=\inf\{t>0:\sum_{a\in A} a^{-t}<\infty\}$ the convergence exponent of $A\subset\mathbb N$. For $0<q\le 1$, $0\le q\le 1$, respectively, the admissible ideals…

We show that for any relatively prime integers $1\leq p<q$ and for any finite $A \subset \mathbb{Z}$ one has $$|p \cdot A + q \cdot A | \geq (p + q) |A| - (pq)^{(p+q-3)(p+q) + 1}.$$

We present in this paper first-order alternating linearization algorithms based on an alternating direction augmented Lagrangian approach for minimizing the sum of two convex functions. Our basic methods require at most $O(1/\epsilon)$…

The existence of unimodular forms with small norms on sequence spaces is crucial in a variety of problems in modern analysis. We prove that the infimum of $\left\Vert A\right\Vert $ over all unimodular $d$-linear (complex or real) forms $A$…

Given two subsets $A, B \subseteq \mathbb{F}_p$ and a binary relation $\mathcal{R} \subseteq A \times B$, the restricted sumset of $A, B$ with respect to $\mathcal{R}$ is defined as $A +_{\mathcal{R}} B = \{ a+b \colon (a,b) \notin…

Let $k\geq 2$ be an integer and let $\lambda$ be the Liouville function. Given $k$ non-negative distinct integers $h_1,\ldots,h_k$, the Chowla conjecture claims that $\sum_{n\leq x}\lambda(n+h_1)\cdots \lambda(n+h_k)=o(x)$ as $x\to\infty$.…

We examine the exponentially improved asymptotic expansion of the Lerch zeta function $L(\lambda,a,s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \exp (2\pi ni\lambda)/(n+a)^s$ for large complex values of $a$, with $\lambda$ and $s$ regarded as parameters. It is…

Function values are, in some sense, "almost as good" as general linear information for $L_2$-approximation (optimal recovery, data assimilation) of functions from a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. This was recently proved by new upper…

We establish an optimal Calder\'{o}n-Zygmund theory for nonuniformly elliptic double phase problems with matrix weights. For $1<p<q<\infty$, $a(\cdot)\in C^{0,\alpha}(\Omega)$ ($0<\alpha\le1$), and a symmetric, almost everywhere positive…

We construct a uniformly discrete sequence $\{\lambda_1 < \lambda_2 < \cdots\} \subset \mathbb{R}$ and functions $g$ and $\{g_n^*\}$ in $L^2(\mathbb{R})$, such that every $f \in L^2(\mathbb{R})$ admits a series expansion \[ f(x) =…

An alternative proof of Lie's approach for linearization of scalar second order ODEs is derived using the relationship between $\lambda$-symmetries and first integrals. This relation further leads to a new $\lambda$-symmetry linearization…

We study multivariable (bilateral) basic hypergeometric series associated with (type $A$) Macdonald polynomials. We derive several transformation and summation properties for such series including analogues of Heine's ${}_2\phi_1$…

We show, by explicit computation, that bare lattice perturbation theory in the two-dimensional O(n) nonlinear $\sigma$ models with superinstanton boundary conditions is divergent in the limit of an infinite number of points $|\Lambda|$.…

We find two convergent series expansions for Legendre's first incomplete elliptic integral $F(\lambda,k)$ in terms of recursively computed elementary functions. Both expansions are valid at every point of the unit square $0<\lambda,k<1$.…

We prove that the size of the product set of any finite arithmetic progression $\mathcal{A}\subset \mathbb{Z}$ satisfies \[|\mathcal A \cdot \mathcal A| \ge \frac{|\mathcal A|^2}{(\log |\mathcal A|)^{2\theta +o(1)} } ,\] where…
