Bernstein polynomials provide a constructive proof for the Weierstrass approximation theorem, which states that every continuous function on a closed bounded interval can be uniformly approximated by polynomials with arbitrary accuracy.…

A set is primitive if no element of the set divides another. We consider primitive sets of monic polynomials over a finite field and find natural generalizations of many of the results known for primitive sets of integers. In particular we…

The previous paper [4] proved the existence of primitive polynomials and primitive normal polynomials of degree n with k prescribed coefficients in the finite field GF(q) for all sufficiently large q. This paper presents a loger versions of…

In this article, we study some new characterizations of primitive recursive functions based on restricted forms of primitive recursion, improving the pioneering work of R. M. Robinson and M. D. Gladstone in this area. We reduce certain…

We consider primitive divisors of terms of integer sequences defined by quadratic polynomials. Apart from some small counterexamples, when a term has a primitive divisor, that primitive divisor is unique. It seems likely that the number of…

We obtain approximation results for general positive linear operators satisfying mild conditions, when acting on discontinuous functions and absolutely continuous functions having discontinuous derivatives. The upper bounds, given in terms…

We give a new proof of Fitzgerald's criterion for primitive polynomials over a finite field. Existing proofs essentially use the theory of linear recurrences over finite fields. Here, we give a much shorter and self-contained proof which…

We present a notion of primitive which corresponds exactly with the Riemann integral. We obtain a characterization of the integrability in the sense of Riemann which produces a Fundamental Theorem of Calculus without special assumptions. We…

We generalize the classical Bernstein theorem concerning the constructive description of classes of functions uniformly continuous on the real line. The approximation of continuous bounded functions by entire functions of exponential type…

In this paper we establish a function field analogue of a conjecture in number theory which is a combination of several famous conjectures, including the Hardy-Littlewood prime tuple conjecture, conjectures on the number of primes in…

Building on the concept of pretentious multiplicative functions, we give a new and largely elementary proof of the best result known on the counting function of primes in arithmetic progressions.

We prove two identities for multivariate Bernstein polynomials on simplex, which are considered on a pointwise. In this paper, we study good approximations of Bernstein polynomials for every continuous functions on simplex and the higher…

In this paper we establish a number of new estimates concerning the prime counting function \pi(x), which improve the estimates proved in the literature. As an application, we deduce a new result concerning the existence of prime numbers in…

In this paper we establish the function field analogue of Bateman-Horn conjecture in short interval in the limit of a large finite field. Hence we start with counting prime polynomials generated by primitive quadratic functions in short…

We use an upper bound on Jacobsthal's function to complete a proof of a known density result. Apart from the bound on Jacobsthal's function used here, the proof we are completing uses only elementary methods and Dirichlet's theorem on the…

The evaluation of iterated primitives of powers of logarithms is expressed in closed form. The expressions contain polynomials with coefficients given in terms of the harmonic numbers and their generalizations. The logconcavity of these…

We introduce a sequence representation of a random variable $X$ supported on a compact interval $[a,b]$, which we call a primitive sequence. We construct this sequence by repeatedly antidifferentiating the associated cumulative distribution…

We prove an analogue of the classical Bernstein theorem concerning the rate of polynomial approximation of piecewise analytic functions on a compact subset of the real line.

We discuss the problem of constructing a small subset of a finite field containing primitive elements of the field. Given a finite field, $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$, small $q$ and large $n$, we show that the set of all low degree polynomials…

Let $x \geq 1$ be a large number, let $f(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a prime polynomial of degree $\text{deg}(f)=m$, and let $u\ne \pm 1, v^2$ be a fixed integer. Assuming the Bateman-Horn conjecture, an asymptotic counting function for the…
