T. Erd\'{e}lyi, A.P. Magnus and P. Nevai conjectured that for $\alpha, \beta \ge - {1/2} ,$ the orthonormal Jacobi polynomials ${\bf P}_k^{(\alpha, \beta)} (x)$ satisfy the inequality \begin{equation*} \max_{x \in…
In this paper, Thue's Fundamentaltheorem is analysed. We show that it includes, and often strengthens, known effective irrationality measures obtained via the so-called hypergeometric method as well as showing that it can be applied to…
In this paper we generalize Nesterenko's criterion to the case where the small linear forms have an oscillating behaviour (for instance given by the saddle point method). This criterion provides both a lower bound for the dimension of the…
We study the asymptotic behavior of Sudler products $P_N(\alpha)= \prod_{r=1}^{N}2|\sin \pi r\alpha|$ for quadratic irrationals $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$. In particular, we verify the convergence of certain perturbed Sudler products along…
Given an irrational number $\alpha\in(0,1)$, the Sudler product is defined by $P_N(\alpha) = \prod_{r=1}^{N}2|\sin\pi r\alpha|$. Answering a question of Grepstad, Kaltenb\"ock and Neum\"uller we prove an asymptotic formula for distorted…
Linear independence testing is a fundamental information-theoretic and statistical problem that can be posed as follows: given $n$ points $\{(X_i,Y_i)\}^n_{i=1}$ from a $p+q$ dimensional multivariate distribution where $X_i \in…
We improve the upper bound of the following inequalities for the gamma function $\Gamma$ due to H. Alzer and the author. \begin{equation*}…
Let $(p_n)$ denote the sequence of prime numbers, with $2=p_1<p_2<\ldots$. We demonstrate the existence of an irrational number $\alpha$ having the property that the sequence $(\alpha p_n)$ is not well-distributed modulo $1$.
In this paper we present an analytic altorithm which calculates almost sharp bounds for the normalized error term $(t-\psi(t))/\sqrt{t}$ for $t\leq x$ in expected run time $O(x^{1/2+\varepsilon})$ for every $\varepsilon>0$. The method has…
A fundamental problem of statistical data analysis, distribution density estimation by experimental data, is considered. A new method with optimal asymptotic behavior, the root density estimator, is developed. The method proposed may be…
A well known theorem of Lagrange states that the simple continued fraction of a real number $\alpha$ is periodic if and only if $\alpha$ is a quadratic irrational. We examine non-periodic and non-simple continued fractions formed by two…
By means of Peres-Schlag's method we prove the existence of real numbers $\alpha, \beta$ such that $$ \liminf_{q\to \infty} (q\log^2 q)||\alpha q|| ||\beta q|| > 0.
We shall present effective approximations measures for certain infinite products related to $q$-exponential function. There are two main targets. First we shall prove an explicit irrationality measure result for the values of…
We consider irrational fixed points of the Minkowski question mark function $? (x)$, that is irrational solutions of the equation $? (x)=x$. It is easy to see that there exist at least two such points. Although it is not known if there are…
Let $S= (s_1<s_2<\dots)$ be a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers and denote $\mathbf{e}(\beta)=\mathrm{e}^{2\pi i \beta}$. We say $S$ is good if for every real $\alpha$ the limit $\lim_N \frac1N\sum_{n\le N}…
If alpha is an irrational number, we define Yoccoz's Brjuno function Phi by Phi(alpha)=sum_{n geq 0} alpha_0*alpha_1*...*alpha_{n-1}*log(1/alpha_n), where alpha_0 is the fractional part of alpha and alpha_{n+1} is the fractional part of…
Let $F_{n}$ be the $n$-th Fibonacci number. Put $\varphi=\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2}$. We prove that the following inequalities hold for any real $\alpha$: 1) $\inf_{n \in \mathbb N} ||F_n\alpha||\le\frac{\varphi-1}{\varphi+2}$, 2) $\liminf_{n\to…
For an infinite word $\mathbf{x}$, Bugeaud and Kim introduced a new complexity function $\text{rep}(\mathbf{x})$ which is called the exponent of repetition of $\mathbf{x}$. They showed $1\le \text{rep}(\mathbf{x}) \le \sqrt{10}-\frac{3}{2}$…
In a recent work [JNT \textbf{129}, 2154 (2009)], Gun and co-workers have claimed that the number $\,\log{\Gamma(x)} + \log{\Gamma(1-x)}\,$, $x$ being a rational number between $0$ and $1$, is transcendental with at most \emph{one} possible…
Bell nonlocality is a fundamental phenomenon of quantum physics as well as an essential resource for various tasks in quantum information processing. It is known that for the observation of nonlocality the measurements on a quantum system…
