In this work we consider sums of primes that converging very slow. We set as a base, a reformulation of analytic prime number theorem and we use the values of Riemann Zeta function for the approximation. We also give the truncation error of…

Based on continued fractions with subtractions, we identify the set of real numbers with the set of infinite integer sequences with all terms but the first one greater or equal to two. Each such sequence produces in a canonical way a unique…

Using recently developed algorithms, we compute and compare best $L^2$ and $L^\infty$ rational approximations of analytic functions on the unit disk. Although there is some theory for these problems going back decades, this may be the first…

In this article, for a certain subset $\mathcal{X}$ of the extended set of rational numbers, we introduce the notion of {\it best $\mathcal{X}$-approximations} of a real number. The notion of best $\mathcal{X}$-approximation is analogous to…

This paper is devoted to a systematic study of a class of binary trees encoding the structure of rational numbers both from arithmetic and dynamical point of view. The paper is divided into two parts. The first one is a critical review of…

In general, approximating classes of functions defined over high-dimensional input spaces by linear combinations of a fixed set of basis functions or ``features'' is known to be hard. Typically, the worst-case error of the best basis set…

Let $I\subseteq{\mathbb{R_+}}$ be a non empty and non singleton interval where ${\mathbb{R_+}}$ denotes the set of all non negative numbers. A function $\Phi: I\to {\mathbb{R_+}}$ is said to be subadditive if for any $x,y$ and $x+y\in I$,…

A landmark result from rational approximation theory states that $x^{1/p}$ on $[0,1]$ can be approximated by a type-$(n,n)$ rational function with root-exponential accuracy. Motivated by the recursive optimality property of Zolotarev…

Any function can be constructed using a hierarchy of simpler functions through compositions. Such a hierarchy can be characterized by a binary rooted tree. Each node of this tree is associated with a function which takes as inputs two…

We review neural network architectures which were motivated by Fourier series and integrals and which are referred to as Fourier neural networks. These networks are empirically evaluated in synthetic and real-world tasks. Neither of them…

Recently Greg Martin derived an interesting formula for the least common multiple of {1,2,...,n}. Here, we give an exposition of a concise proof in terms of the sine function.

We seek random versions of some classical theorems on complex approximation by polynomials and rational functions, as well as investigate properties of random compact sets in connection to complex approximation.

The goal of this expository article is a fairly self-contained account of some averaging processes of functions along sequences of the form $(\alpha^n x)^{}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, where $\alpha$ is a fixed real number with $| \alpha | > 1$ and…

Fractional parts of the first $N$ natural numbers fill the unit interval with asymptotically uniform density. However, the gaps around rational points shrink at an asymptotically lower rate $N^{-1/2}$, and their widths scale with the Thomae…

Computing rational minimax approximations can be very challenging when there are singularities on or near the interval of approximation - precisely the case where rational functions outperform polynomials by a landslide. We show that far…

Abstrct: In this note, by considering fractionally linear functions over a finite field and consequently developing an abstract sequence, we study some of its properties.

We present a random walk approximation to fractional Brownian motion where the increments of the fractional random walk are defined as a weighted sum of the past increments of a Bernoulli random walk.

This paper presents a new approach in application of the Fourier transform to the complex error function resulting in an efficient rational approximation. Specifically, the computational test shows that with only $17$ summation terms the…

We investigate harmonic functions and the convergence of the sequence of ratios $(P_x(\tau_\vartheta {>} n)/P_e(\tau_\vartheta {>} n))$ for a random walk on a countable group killed up on the time $\tau_\vartheta$ of the first exit from…

We investigate fractional sums of arithmetic functions over products of two or three integers, with emphasis on fixed greatest common divisors and multiplicative weights. Let $f$ be an arithmetic function satisfying $f(n) \ll n^\alpha$ for…
