In this paper we investigate the asymptotic distribution of the zeros of polynomials $P_{n}(x)$ satisfying a first order differential-difference equation. We give several examples of orthogonal and non-orthogonal families.

Let D be the open unit disc in C. The paper deals with the following conjecture: If f is a continuous function on bD such that the change of argument of Pf+1 around bD is nonnegative for every polynomial P such that Pf+1 has no zero on bD…

Let f(n)= Sum binomial(n,k)^(-1). First, we show that f:N to Q_p is nowhere continuous in the p-adic topology. If x is a p-adic integer, we say that f(x) is p-definable if lim f(x_j) exists in Q_p, where x_j denotes the jth partial sum for…

An asymptotic formula which holds almost everywhere is obtained for the number of solutions to the Diophantine inequalities |qA-p|<\psi(|q|), where A is an n by m matrix (m>1) over the field of formal Laurent series with coefficients from a…

In this paper, we study the following complex Schr\"{o}dinger equation with a $q$-difference term: \begin{align}\tag{{\dag}}\label{dagger} f'(z) = a(z)f(qz) + R(z, f(z)), \quad R(z, f(z)) = \frac{P(z, f(z))}{Q(z, f(z))}, \end{align} where…

A remarkable result of Bergelson, Tao and Ziegler implies that if $c>0$, $k$ is a positive integer, $p\geq k$ is a prime, $n$ is sufficiently large, and $f:\mathbb F_p^n\to\mathbb C$ is a function with $\|f\|_\infty\leq 1$ and…

We consider absolutely irreducible polynomials $f \in Z[x,y]$ with $\deg_x(f)=m$, $\deg_y(f)=n$ and height $H$. We show that for any prime $p$ with $p>c_{mn} H^{2mn+n-1}$ the reduction $f \bmod p$ is also absolutely irreducible. Furthermore…

For an odd prime $p$ and an integer $w\ge 1$, polynomial quotients $q_{p,w}(u)$ are defined by $$ q_{p,w}(u)\equiv \frac{u^w-u^{wp}}{p} \bmod p ~~ \mathrm{with}~~ 0 \le q_{p,w}(u) \le p-1, ~~u\ge 0, $$ which are generalizations of Fermat…

We provide examples of multiplicative functions $f$ supported on the $k$-free integers such that at primes $f(p)=\pm 1$ and such that the partial sums of $f$ up to $x$ are $o(x^{1/k})$. Further, if we assume the Generalized Riemann…

We establish the existence of infinitely many \emph{polynomial} progressions in the primes; more precisely, given any integer-valued polynomials $P_1, >..., P_k \in \Z[\m]$ in one unknown $\m$ with $P_1(0) = ... = P_k(0) = 0$ and any $\eps…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number. We prove that for $m\equiv1\mod p$, $x^m$ is perfectly nonlinear over $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ for infinitely many $n$ if and only if $m$ is of the form $p^l+1$, $l\in\mathbb{N}$. First, we study singularities of…

For $q$ a prime power, the discrete logarithm problem (DLP) in $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ consists in finding, for any $g \in \mathbb{F}_{q}^{\times}$ and $h \in \langle g \rangle$, an integer $x$ such that $g^x = h$. We present an algorithm for…
