A route to evaluate exact sums represented by Dirichlet eta and beta functions, both of which are alternating and divergent at negative integer arguments, is advocated. It rests on precise polynomial extrapolations and stands as a…

The second Hardy-Littlewood conjecture asserts that the prime counting function $\pi(x)$ satisfies the subadditive inequality \begin{align*} \pi(x+y)\leqslant \pi(x)+\pi (y) \end{align*} for all integers $x,y\geqslant 2$. By linking the…

Extending results of Linial (1984) and Aigner (1985), we prove a uniform lower bound on the balance constant of a poset $P$ of width $2$. This constant is defined as $\delta(P) = \max_{(x, y)\in P^2}\min\{\mathbb{P}(x\prec y),…

The celebrated Heinz inequality asserts that $ 2|||A^{1/2}XB^{1/2}|||\leq |||A^{\nu}XB^{1-\nu}+A^{1-\nu}XB^{\nu}|||\leq |||AX+XB|||$ for $X \in \mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H})$, $A,B\in \+$, every unitarily invariant norm $|||\cdot|||$ and $\nu \in…

Let $\mu(n)$ be the M\"{o}bius function and $e(\alpha)=e^{2\pi i\alpha}$. In this paper, we study upper bounds of the classical sum $$S(x,\alpha):=\sum_{1\leq n\leq x}\mu(n)e(\alpha n).$$ We can improve some classical results of Baker and…

For the real number $\alpha>1$, we use a technique due to Nehari and Netanyahu and an application of certain integral iteration of Caratheodory functions to find the best-possible upper bounds on the coefficients of functions of the class…

Chang's lemma (Duke Mathematical Journal, 2002) is a classical result with applications across several areas in mathematics and computer science. For a Boolean function $f$ that takes values in {-1,1} let $r(f)$ denote its Fourier rank. For…

Consider the differential equation $y'=F(x,y)$. We determine the weakest possible upper bound on $|F(x,y)-F(x,z)|$ which guarantees that this equation has for all initial values a unique solution, which exists globally.

Let $F(x,y)$ be an irreducible form of degree $r\geq 3$ and having $s+1$ non-zero coefficients. Let $h\geq 1$ be an integer and consider the Thue inequality $$|F(x,y)|\leq h.$$ Following the seminal work of Thue in 1909, several papers were…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. We prove that $$\sum_{X \leq x < 2X} \sup_{\alpha \in \mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}} \bigg\lvert\!\sum_{x \leq n < x+H} \lambda(n) e(n\alpha)\bigg\rvert = o(HX)$$ as $X\to \infty$, in the regime $H =…

Consider any Dirichlet series sum a_n/n^z with nonnegative coefficients a_n and finite sum function f(z)=f(x+iy) when x is greater than 1. Denoting the partial sum a_1+...+a_N by s_N, the paper gives the following necessary and sufficient…

We consider upper exponential bounds for the probability of the event that an absolute deviation of sample mean from mathematical expectation p is bigger comparing with some ordered level epsilon. These bounds include 2 coefficients {alpha,…

A Boolean function $f:\{0,1\}^d \mapsto \{0,1\}$ is unate if, along each coordinate, the function is either nondecreasing or nonincreasing. In this note, we prove that any nonadaptive, one-sided error unateness tester must make…

We investigate properties of ($\alpha,\beta$)-harmonic functions. First, we discuss the coefficient estimates for ($\alpha,\beta$)-harmonic functions. In particular, we obtain Heinz's inequality for ($\alpha,\beta$)-harmonic functions,…

Here is one of the results of this paper (with the convention ${{1}\over {0}}=+\infty$): Let $X$ be a real Hilbert space and let $J:X\to {\bf R}$ be a $C^1$ functional, with compact derivative, such that $$\alpha^*:=\max\left…

This paper establishes a bivariate Hardy-Sobolev inequality. Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ ($N \geq 3$) be an open domain, $s \in (0,2)$, $\alpha > 1$, $\beta > 1$ with $\alpha + \beta = 2^*(s)$, and $\kappa \in \mathbb{R}$. For any…

Let $\zeta(s)$ and $Z(t)$ be the Riemann zeta function and Hardy's function respectively. We show asymptotic formulas for $\int_0^T Z(t)\zeta(1/2+it)dt$ and $\int_0^T Z^2(t) \zeta(1/2+it)dt$. Furthermore we derive an upper bound for…

In this paper we provide an explicit bound for $|\zeta(1+it)|$ in the form of $|\zeta(1+it)|\leq \min\left(\log t, \frac{1}{2}\log t+1.93, \frac{1}{5}\log t+44.02 \right)$. This improves on the current best-known explicit bound of…
