Let $\mathcal{T}_n$ be the cover time of two-dimensional discrete torus $\mathbb{Z}^2_n=\mathbb{Z}^2/n\mathbb{Z}^2$. We prove that $\mathbb{P}[\mathcal{T}_n\leq \frac{4}{\pi}\gamma n^2\ln^2 n]=\exp(-n^{2(1-\sqrt{\gamma})+o(1)})$ for…

In this paper we give a precise estimate of the discrepancy of a class of uniformly distributed sequences of partitions. Among them we found a large class having low discrepancy (which means of order 1/N. One of them is the…

In this article we establish error bound for linear complementarity problem with $P$-matrix using plus function. We introduce a fundamental quantity associated with a $P$-matrix and show how this quantity is useful in deriving error bounds…

Let $A$ be an $n \times n$ random matrix with independent identically distributed non-constant subgaussian entries. Then for any $k \le c \sqrt{n}$, \[ \text{rank}(A) \ge n-k \] with probability at least $1-\exp(-c'kn)$.

We investigate error orders for integral limit approximations to traces of products of Toeplitz matrices generated by integrable functions on $[-\pi,\pi]$ having some singularities at the origin. Even though a sharp error order of the above…

Many problems in computer science and applied mathematics require rounding a vector $\mathbf{w}$ of fractional values lying in the interval $[0,1]$ to a binary vector $\mathbf{x}$ so that, for a given matrix $\mathbf{A}$,…

Consider critical bond percolation on a large 2n by 2n box on the square lattice. It is well-known that the size (i.e. number of vertices) of the largest open cluster is, with high probability, of order n^2 \pi(n), where \pi(n) denotes the…

The discrepancy of a binary string is the maximum (absolute) difference between the number of ones and the number of zeroes over all possible substrings of the given binary string. In this note we determine the minimal discrepancy that a…

Motivated by the Koml\'os conjecture in combinatorial discrepancy, we study the discrepancy of random matrices with $m$ rows and $n$ independent columns drawn from a bounded lattice random variable. It is known that for $n$ tending to…

We study the $l^p$ norms of a class of weighted mean matrices whose diagonal terms are given by $n^{\alpha}/\sum^{n}_{i=1}i^{\alpha}$ with $\alpha > -1$. The $l^p$ norms of such matrices are known for $p \geq 2, (\alpha+1)p >1$ and $1<p…

An effective estimate for the lattice point discrepancy of ellipsoids of rotation. This paper provides an explicit bound, with numerical constants, for the lattice point discrepancy (= number of integer points minus volume) of an ellipsoid…

In 1975 Walter Philipp proved the law of the iterated logarithm (LIL) for the discrepancy of lacunary sequences: for any sequence $(n_k)_{k \geq 1}$ satisfying the Hadamard gap condition $n_{k+1} / n_k \geq q > 1,~k \geq 1,$ we have $$…

For different values of $\gamma \geq 0$, analysis of the end behavior of the sequence $a_n = \cos (n)^{n^\gamma}$ yields a strong connection to the irrationality measure of $\pi$. We show that if $\limsup |\cos n|^{n^2} \neq 1$, then the…

Let $A \subset \mathbb{F}_p$ with $|A| > 1$. We show there is a $d \in \mathbb{F}_p^{\times}$ such that $d \cdot A$ contains a gap of size at least $2p/ |A| - 2 $.

Results of research of possibility of transformation of a difference equation into a system of the first-order difference equation are presented. In contrast to the method used previously, an unknown grid function is split into two new…

The function $ \tan(\pi x / 2) / (\pi x / 2) $ is expanded into a Laurent series of $ 1 - x^2 $, where the coefficients are given explicitly as combinations of zeta function of even integers. This is used to achieve a sequence of upper and…

For $n$ positive numbers ($a_k$, $1\leq k \leq n$), enhanced inequalities about the arithmetic mean ($A_n \equiv \frac{\sum_ka_k}{n}$) and the geometric mean ($G_n\equiv \sqrt[n]{\Pi_ka_k}$) are found if some numbers are known, namely,…

Given positive integers $h, N$ satisfying $1 \leqslant h \leqslant 2N^2$, we define $T(h,N)$ to be the number of $2\times 2$ integer matrices with determinant equal to $h$ whose entries lie in $[-N,N]$. Our main result states that for any…

We show that the isotropic discrepancy of a lattice point set can be bounded from below and from above in terms of the spectral test of the corresponding integration lattice. From this we deduce that the isotropic discrepancy of any…

This is the major revision. The main purpose of this paper is to prove that minimal discrepancies of $n$-dimensional toric singularities can accumulate only from above and only to minimal discrepancies of toric singularities of dimension…
