A boolean function of $n$ boolean variables is {correlation-immune} of order $k$ if the function value is uncorrelated with the values of any $k$ of the arguments. Such functions are of considerable interest due to their cryptographic…

Let $\beta>1$ be fixed. We consider the $(\frak{b, d})$ numeration system, where the base ${\frak b}=(b_k)_{k\geq 0}$ is a sequence of positive real numbers satisfying $\lim_{k\rightarrow \infty}b_{k+1}/b_k=\beta$, and the set of digits…

Let $a_k(n)$ denotes the number of representations of a non-negative integer $n$ as sum of $k$ quadratic forms of the type $x^2+xy+y^2$ and $a_{\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\lambda_3\dots\lambda_k}(n)$ denotes the number of representations $n$ as a…

A representation number is a function which expresses the number of ways an integer can be written as a sum of elements of chosen sets. One of the oldest number-theoretic results on representation numbers is Fermat's theorem which says that…

How many $k$-SAT functions on $n$ boolean variables are there? What does a typical such function look like? Bollob\'as, Brightwell, and Leader conjectured that, for each fixed $k \ge 2$, the number of $k$-SAT functions on $n$ variables is…

Let $p(n)$ denote the partition function. In this paper our main goal is to derive an asymptotic expansion up to order $N$ (for any fixed positive integer $N$) along with estimates for error bounds for the shifted quotient of the partition…

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 show conditions on $k$ such that any number $x$ in the interval $[0, k/2]$ can be represented in the form $x_1^{a_1} x_2^{a_2} + x_3^{a_3} x_4^{a_4} + \cdots + x_{k-1}^{a_{k-1}} x_k^{a_k}$, where the exponents $a_{2i-1}$ and $a_{2i}$ are…

We analyze the representation of $A^{n}$ as a linear combination of $A^{j},\ 0\leq j\leq k-1,$ where $A$ is a $k\times k$ matrix. We obtain a first order asymptotic approximation of $A^{n}$ as $n\to\infty,$ without imposing any special…

Let X = S \oplus G, where S is a countable abelian semigroup and G is a countably infinite abelian group such that {2g : g in G} is infinite. Let pi: X \to G be the projection map defined by pi(s,g) = g for all x =(s,g) in X. Let f:X \to…

Let~$A$ be a set of nonnegative integers. Let~$(h A)^{(t)}$ be the set of all integers in the sumset~$hA$ that have at least~$t$ representations as a sum of~$h$ elements of~$A$. In this paper, we prove that, if~$k \geq 2$,…

We show two results. First, a refinement of Freiman's theorem: if A is a finite set of integers and |A+A| < K|A|, then A is contained in a multidimensional progression of dimension at most O(K^{7/4} log^3K) and size at most exp(O(K^{7/4}…

Let $A$ be a commutative unital $\mathbb{R}$-algebra and let $\rho$ be a seminorm on $A$ which satisfies $\rho(ab)\leq\rho(a)\rho(b)$. We apply T. Jacobi's representation theorem to determine the closure of a $\sum A^{2d}$-module $S$ of $A$…

Let A and M be nonempty sets of positive integers. A partition of the positive integer n with parts in A and multiplicities in M is a representation of n in the form n = \sum_{a\in A} m_a a, where m_a is in M U {0} for all a in A, and m_a…

In the Frobenius problem we are given a set of coprime, positive integers $a_1, a_2,...,a_k$, and are interested in the set of positive numbers NR that have no representation by the linear form $\sum_i a_ix_i$ in nonnegative integers $x_1,…

Let P be a finite set of at least two prime numbers, and A the set of positive integers that are products of powers of primes from P. Let F(k) denote the smallest positive integer which cannot be presented as sum of less than k terms of A.…

The objective of this paper is to obtain asymptotic results for shifted sums of multiplicative functions of the form $g \ast 1$, where the function $g$ satisfies the Ramanujan conjecture and has conjectured upper bounds on square moments of…

We give an asymptotic formula for correlations \[ \sum_{n\le x}f_1(P_1(n))f_2(P_2(n))\cdot \dots \cdot f_m(P_m(n))\] where $f\dots,f_m$ are bounded "pretentious" multiplicative functions, under certain natural hypotheses. We then deduce…

Let $\{f_n\}$ be the Fibonacci sequence. For any positive integer $n$, let $r(n)$ be the number of solutions of $n=p+f_{k_1^{2}} +f_{k_{2}^{2}}$, where $p$ is a prime and $k_1, k_2$ are nonnegative integers with $k_1\le k_2$. In this paper,…

We study the representation theory of the increasing monoid. Our results provide a fairly comprehensive picture of the representation category: for example, we describe the Grothendieck group (including the effective cone), classify…
