Given an entire function $f$ of finite order $\rho$, let $L(z,f)=\sum_{j=0}^{m}b_{j}(z)f^{(k_{j})}(z+c_{j})$ be a linear delay-differential polynomial of $f$ with small coefficients in the sense of $O(r^{\lambda+\varepsilon})+S(r,f)$,…

Let f be a polynomial with irrational leading coefficient. We obtain inequalities for the distance from the nearest integer of f(p) that hold for infinitely many primes p. These results improve work of Harman in 1981 and 1983 and Wong in…

The purpose of this paper is to study a class of ill-posed differential equations. In some settings, these differential equations exhibit uniqueness but not existence, while in others they exhibit existence but not uniqueness. An example of…

Let $f$ be a transcendental meromorphic function in the complex plane $\mathbb{C}$, and $a$ be a nonzero complex number . We give quantitative estimates for the characteristic function $T(r,f)$ in terms of $N(r,1/(f^l(f^{(k)})^n-a))$, for…

For any sufficiently strong theory of arithmetic, the set of Diophantine equations provably unsolvable in the theory is algorithmically undecidable, as a consequence of the MRDP theorem. In contrast, we show decidability of Diophantine…
