By using the related results in the WZ theory, a new (as far as I know) formula for the values of Dirichlet beta function $\beta (s) = \sum\limits_{n = 1}^{+ \infty} {\frac{(-1)^{n - 1}}{(2n - 1)^s}} $ (where $Re(s) > 0$) at odd positive…

In this note we give a short and self-contained proof that, for any $\delta > 0$, $\sum_{x \leq n \leq x+x^\delta} \lambda(n) = o(x^\delta)$ for almost all $x \in [X, 2X]$. We also sketch a proof of a generalization of such a result to…

A classical result of Erd\H{o}s and Gallai determines the maximum size $m(n,\nu)$ of a graph $G$ of order $n$ and matching number $\nu n$. We show that $G$ has factorially many maximum matchings provided that its size is sufficiently close…

We consider the problem -\Delta u - g(u) = \lambda u, u \in H^1(\R^N), \int_{\R^N} u^2 = 1, \lambda\in\R, in dimension $N\ge2$. Here $g$ is a superlinear, subcritical, possibly nonhomogeneous, odd nonlinearity. We deal with the case where…

It is proved that as $T \to \infty$, uniformly for all positive integers $\ell \leqslant (\log_3 T) / (\log_4 T)$, we have \begin{equation*} \max_{T\leqslant t\leqslant 2T}\left|\zeta^{(\ell)}\Big(1+it\Big)\right| \geqslant \big(\mathbf…

Let $\Delta(x)$ denote the error term in the Dirichlet divisor problem, and $E(T)$ the error term in the asymptotic formula for the mean square of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$. If $E^*(t) = E(t) - 2\pi\Delta^*(t/(2\pi))$ with $\Delta^*(x) = -\Delta(x)…

Let $f$ be an arithmetic function, $V\geqslant 1$ a real number and $$\Delta_V(n,f) := \sup\limits_{\substack{u \in \mathbb{R}\\ v \in [0,V]}}{\Big|\sum\limits_{\substack{d\mid n \\ {\rm e}^{u}<d\leqslant {\rm e}^{u+v}}}{f(d)}\Big|}{\rm…

A scaling and renormalization approach to the Riemann zeta function, $\zeta$, evaluated at $-1$ is presented in two ways. In the first, one takes the difference between $U_{n}:=\sum_{q=1}^{n}q$ and $4U_{\left\lfloor \frac{n}{2}\right\rfloor…

Finding a good bound on the maximal edge diameter $\Delta(d,n)$ of a polytope in terms of its dimension $d$ and the number of its facets $n$ is one of the basic open questions in polytope theory \cite{BG}. Although some bounds are known,…

We show that under minimal assumptions on a class of functions $\mathcal{H}$ defined on a probability space $(\mathcal{X},\mu)$, there is a threshold $\Delta_0$ satisfying the following: for every $\Delta\geq\Delta_0$, with probability at…

For $0\neq x>-1$ let $$\Delta(x)={{\ln \Gamma(x+1)} \over x}.$$ Recently Adell and Alzer proved the complete monotonicity of $\Delta'$ on $(-1,\infty)$ by giving an integral representation of $(-1)^n \Delta^{(n+1)}(x)$ in terms of the…

Let $\Delta(x)$ denote the error term in the Dirichlet divisor problem, and $E(T)$ the error term in the asymptotic formula for the mean square of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$. If $E^*(t) = E(t) - 2\pi\Delta^*(t/2\pi)$ with $\Delta^*(x) = -\Delta(x) +…

The Erd\H{o}s-Rogers function $f_{s,t}$ measures how large a $K_s$-free induced subgraph there must be in a $K_t$-free graph on $n$ vertices. While good estimates for $f_{s,t}$ are known for some pairs $(s,t)$, notably when $t=s+1$, in…

We present a new lower bound for Euler's beta function, $B(x,y)$, which states that the inequality \begin{equation*} B(x,y)>\frac{x+y}{xy}\left(1-\frac{2xy}{x+y+1}\right) \end{equation*} holds on $(0,1]\times(0,1]$, which improves a lower…

We consider the fractional mean-field equation on the interval $I=(-1,1)$ $$(-\Delta)^\frac{1}{2} u=\rho\frac{e^{u}}{\int_{I}e^{u}dx},$$ subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions, and prove that existence holds if and only if $\rho <2\pi$.…

Let $ x\geq 1 $ be a large number, let $ [x]=x-\{x\} $ be the largest integer function, and let $ \varphi(n)$ be the Euler totient function. The asymptotic formula for the new finite sum over the primes $ \sum_{p\leq…

We use the delta method and Stein's method to derive, under regularity conditions, explicit upper bounds for the distributional distance between the distribution of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of a $d$-dimensional parameter and…

We investigate the large values of the derivatives of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ on the 1-line. We give a larger lower bound for $\max_{t\in[T,2T]}|\zeta^{(\ell)}(1+{\rm i} t)|$, which improves the previous result established by…

We introduce an algorithm to compute the functions belonging to a suitable set ${\mathscr F}$ defined as follows: $f\in {\mathscr F}$ means that $f(s,x)$, $s\in A\subset {\mathbb R}$ being fixed and $x>0$, has a power series expansion…

Under the Riemann hypothesis, we use the distribution of zeros of the zeta function to get a lower bound for the maximum of some derivative of Hardy's function.
