This paper presents results about the distribution of subsequences which are typical in the sense of Baire. The first part is concerned with sequences of the type x_k = n_k*alpha, n_1 < n_2 < n_3 < ..., mod 1. Improving a result of Salat we…
There has been interest during the last decade in properties of the sequence {gcd(a^n-1,b^n-1)}, n=1,2,3,..., where a,b are fixed (multiplicatively independent) elements in either the rational integers, the polynomials in one variable over…
This article presents a convenient approach to Fourier analysis for the investigation of functions and distributions defined in $\mathbb{T}^m \times \mathbb{R}^n$. Our approach involves the utilization of a mixed Fourier transform,…
Translation from the Latin original, "Inventio summae cuiusque seriei ex dato termino generali" (1735). E47 in the Enestrom index. In this paper Euler derives the Euler-Maclaurin summation formula, by expressing y(x-1) with the Taylor…
In [3], we have introduced a probability measure to study the power and exponential sums for a certain coding system. The distribution function of the probability measure gives explicit formulas for the power and exponential sums.…
This survey will appear in Vol. VII of the Hendbook of Teichm{\"u}ller theory (European Mathematical Society Publishing House, 2020). It is a commentary on Teichm{\"u}ller's paper "Einfache Beispiele zur Wertverteilungslehre", published in…
Introducing the discrete probability distribution by means of the Prabhakar (or the three--parameter Mittag--Leffler) function, we establish explicit expressions for raw and factorial moments and also general fractional order moments.…
We study properties of arithmetic sets coming from multiplicative number theory and obtain applications in the theory of uniform distribution and ergodic theory. Our main theorem is a generalization of K\'atai's orthogonality criterion.…
We present a new form and a short full proof of explicit two-sided estimates for the distribution function F_{n,p}(x) of the binomial law from the paper published by D.Alfers and H.Dinges in 1984. These inequalities are universal (valid for…
Erd\H{o}s first conjectured that infinitely often we have $\varphi(n) = \sigma(m)$, where $\varphi$ is the Euler totient function and $\sigma$ is the sum of divisor function. This was proven true by Ford, Luca and Pomerance in 2010. We ask…
We study random exponential sums of the form $\sum_{k=1}^nX_k\times\ex p\{i(\lambda_k^{(1)}t_1+...+\lambda_k^{(s)}t_s)\}$, where $\{X_n\}$ is a sequence of random variables and $\{\lambda_n^{(i)}:1\leq i\leq s\}$ are sequences of real…
Let $f_1,\dots,f_k\in\mathbb{R}[X]$ be polynomials of degree at most $d$ with $f_1(0)=\dots=f_k(0)=0$. We show that there is an integer $n<x$ such that the fractional parts $\|f_i(n)\|\ll x^{c/k}$ for all $1\le i\le k$ and for some constant…
We obtain an upper bound for the sum $\sum_{n\leq N} (a_{n}/\varphi (a_{n}))^{s}$, where $\varphi$ is Euler's totient function, $s\in \mathbb{N}$, and $a_{1},\ldots, a_{N}$ are positive integers (not necessarily distinct) with some…
Finding the mean square averages of the Dirichlet $L$-functions over Dirichlet characters $\chi$ of same parity is an active problem in number theory. Here we explicitly evaluate such averages of $L(3,\chi)$ and $L(4,\chi)$ using certain…
We show that there is a way to unify distribution functions that describe simultaneously a signal in space and (spatial) frequency. Probably the most known of them is the Wigner distribution function. Here we show how to unify functions of…
Let $(x_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be a sequence on the torus $\mathbb{T}$ (normalized to length 1). We show that if there exists a sequence of positive real numbers $(t_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ converging to 0 such that $$\lim_{N \rightarrow \infty}{…
We study analytic properties of the pair consisting of a rather general form of zeta-function with an Euler product and a periodic Hurwitz zeta-function with a transcendental parameter. We first survey briefly previous results, and then…
New unconditional estimates of the divisor and totient functions are contributed to the literature. These results are consistent with the Riemann hypothesis and seem to solve the Nicolas inequality for all sufficiently large integers.
A modified totient function ($\phi_2$) is seen to play a significant role in the study of the twin prime distribution. The function is defined as $\phi_2(n):=\#\{a\le n ~\vert ~\textrm{$a(a+2)$ is coprime to $n$}\}$ and is shown here to…
Let $\tau_k$ be the $k$-fold divisor function. By constructing an approximant of $\tau_k$, denoted as $\tau_k^*$, which is a normalized truncation of the $k$-fold divisor function, we prove that when $\exp\left(C\log^{1/2}X(\log\log…
