In this paper, we propose a new primal-dual algorithm for minimizing $f(x) + g(x) + h(Ax)$, where $f$, $g$, and $h$ are proper lower semi-continuous convex functions, $f$ is differentiable with a Lipschitz continuous gradient, and $A$ is a…

For a finite set $A\subseteq \mathbb{Z}$, the $h$-fold sumset is $hA :=\{x_1+\dots+x_h:x_i\in A\}$. We interpret the beginning of the sequence of sumset sizes $(|hA|)_{h=1}^\infty$ in terms of the successive $L^1$-minima of a lattice…

In \cite{HRW15}, Haglund, Remmel, Wilson state a conjecture which predicts a purely combinatorial way of obtaining the symmetric function $\Delta_{e_k}e_n$. It is called the Delta Conjecture. It was recently proved in \cite{GHRY} that the…

We evaluate explicitly, in terms of the Cauchy data, the constant pre-factor in the large $x$ asymptotics of the Painlev\'e III tau-function. Our result proves the conjectural formula for this pre-factor obtained recently by O. Lisovyy, Y.…

In the paper we obtain new estimates for binary and ternary sums of multiplicative characters with additive convolutions of characteristic functions of sets, having small additive doubling. In particular, we improve a result of M.-C. Chang.…

Let X_1,X_2,... be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables, and put S_n=X_1+...+X_n. Under some conditions on the positive sequence tau_n and the positive increasing sequence a_n, we give necessary and…

The asymptotic study of class numbers of binary quadratic forms is a foundational problem in arithmetic statistics. Here, we investigate finer statistics of class numbers by studying their self-correlations under additive shifts.…

This paper proposes a novel preconditioned implicit-explicit algorithm enhanced with the extrapolation technique for non-convex optimization problems. The algorithm employs a third-order Adams-Bashforth scheme for the nonlinear and explicit…

Binomial coefficients and central trinomial coefficients play important roles in combinatorics. Let $p>3$ be a prime. We show that $$T_{p-1}\equiv\left(\frac p3\right)3^{p-1}\ \pmod{p^2},$$ where the central trinomial coefficient $T_n$ is…

Addition theorems can be constructed by doing three-dimensional Taylor expansions according to $f (\mathbf{r} + \mathbf{r}') = \exp (\mathbf{r}' \cdot \mathbf{\nabla}) f (\mathbf{r})$. Since, however, one is normally interested in addition…

We discuss an elementary method for the evaluation of the convolution sums $\underset{\substack{ {(l,m)\in\mathbb{N}_{0}^{2}} \\ {\alpha\,l+\beta\,m=n} } }{\sum}\sigma(l)\sigma(m)$ for those $\alpha,\beta\in\mathbb{N}$ for which…

We consider the problem of computing the Boolean convolution (with wraparound) of $n$~vectors of dimension $m$, or, equivalently, the problem of computing the sumset $A_1+A_2+\ldots+A_n$ for $A_1,\ldots,A_n \subseteq \mathbb{Z}_m$. Boolean…

Let $\Lambda(1,n)$ be the $(1,n)$-th Fourier coefficients of $SL(3,\mathbb{Z})$ Hecke-Maass cusp form and $d_3(n)$ denotes the triple divisor function. This paper establishes non-trivial bounds for the averages of these arithmetic functions…

Let A be a finite subset of an abelian group (G, +). Let h $\ge$ 2 be an integer. If |A| $\ge$ 2 and the cardinality |hA| of the h-fold iterated sumset hA = A + $\times$ $\times$ $\times$ + A is known, what can one say about |(h -- 1)A| and…

We present a closed-form solution for n-th term of a general three-term recurrence relation with arbitrary given n-dependent coefficients. The derivation and corresponding proof are based on two approaches, which we develop and describe in…

We establish a connection between the ratios conjecture for the Riemann zeta-function and a conjecture concerning correlations of convolutions of M\"{o}bius and divisor functions. Specifically, we prove that the ratios conjecture and an…

We prove an exact formula for the variance of the divisor function over short intervals in $\mathcal{A} := \mathbb{F}_q [T]$, where $q$ is a prime power. A slight adaption of the proof allows us to obtain an exact formula for correlations…

The Tu--Deng Conjecture is concerned with the sum of digits $w(n)$ of $n$ in base~$2$ (the Hamming weight of the binary expansion of $n$) and states the following: assume that $k$ is a positive integer and $1\leq t<2^k-1$. Then \[\Bigl…

In this work, we study the generalized k-th power symbol (a/n)_k and present a comprehensive collection of its algebraic properties. The results are classified according to their dependence on the three main parameters a, n, and k. In…

In the paper we consider the partial sum process $\sum_{k=1}^{[nt]}X_k^{(n)}$, where $\{X_k^{(n)}=\sum_{j=0}^{\infty} a_{j}^{(n)}\xi_{k-j}(b(n)), \ k\in \bz\},\ n\ge 1,$ is a series of linear processes with tapered filter…
