The sequence of 1/2-discrepancy sums of $\{x + i \theta \bmod 1\}$ is realized through a sequence of substitutions on an alphabet of three symbols; particular attention is paid to $x=0$. The first application is to show that any asymptotic…

In this paper, we show some results about the gap between a prime number and its consecutive prime number for large enough prime numbers. We show that the gap between a prime number $p_n$ and its consecutive prime number is not larger than…

In this article, we present four issues and provide a creative and concise proof for each of them. The four issues are: 1- Inequality $\frac{1}{\sqrt{n\pi+\frac{\pi}{2}}}<\frac{\binom{2n}{n}}{2^{2n}}<\frac{1}{\sqrt{n\pi}}$ 2- A special case…

Let $\overline{p}(n)$ denote the overpartition funtion. Engel showed that for $n\geq2$, $\overline{p}(n)$ satisfied the Tur\'{a}n inequalities, that is, $\overline{p}(n)^2-\overline{p}(n-1)\overline{p}(n+1)>0$ for $n\geq2$. In this paper,…

We study the Lagarias inequality, an elementary criterion equivalent to the Riemann Hypothesis. Using a continuous extension of the harmonic numbers, we show that the sequence $B_n=\frac{H_n+e^{H_n}\log(H_n)}{n}$ is strictly increasing for…

In this paper, we introduce telescoping continued fractions to find lower bounds for the error term $r_n$ in Stirling's approximation $\displaystyle n! = \sqrt{2\pi}n^{n+1/2}e^{-n}e^{r_n}.$ This improves lower bounds given earlier by…

Let X be the random variable that counts the number of triangles in the random graph G(n,p). We show that for some absolute constant c, the probability that X deviates from its expectation by at least \lambda \var(X)^{1/2} is at most…

We study a sequence of differences related to the problem of finding the smallest factorial $n!$ greater than or equal to $a^n$, where $a > 1$, using the gamma function.

Statistical applications often involve the calculation of intractable multidimensional integrals. The Laplace formula is widely used to approximate such integrals. However, in high-dimensional or small sample size problems, the shape of the…

Nonlinearity in many systems is heavily dependent on component variation and environmental factors such as temperature. This is often overcome by keeping signals close enough to the device's operating point that it appears approximately…

Denote by $\lambda_1(A), \ldots, \lambda_n(A)$ the eigenvalues of an $(n\times n)$-matrix $A$. Let $Z_n$ be an $(n\times n)$-matrix chosen uniformly at random from the matrix analogue to the classical $\ell_ p^n$-ball, defined as the set of…

In this note, we extend the notion of minimal gaps to the higher dimensional sequences. We bound the minimal gap for $(\{\boldsymbol{a}_n\boldsymbol{\alpha}\}),$ $(\{a_n\boldsymbol{\alpha}\})$ and…

A theorem of Glasner says that if $X$ is an infinite subset of the torus $\mathbb{T}$, then for any $\epsilon>0$, there exists an integer $n$ such that the dilation $nX=\{nx: x \in \mathbb{T} \}$ is $\epsilon$-dense (i.e, it intersects any…

We determine the order of magnitude of the variance of the Fibonacci partition function. The answer is different to the most naive guess. The proof involves a diophantine system and an inhomogeneous linear recurrence.

We define a new numerical range of an n\timesn complex matrix in terms of correlation matrices and develop some of its properties. We also define a related numerical range that arises from Alain Connes' famous embedding problem.

For irrational $\alpha$, $\{n\alpha\}$ is uniformly distributed mod 1 in the Weyl sense, and the asymptotic behavior of its discrepancy is completely known. In contrast, very few precise results exist for the discrepancy of subsequences…

Any associative bilinear multiplication on the set of n-by-n matrices over some field of characteristic not two, that makes the same vectors orthogonal and has the same trace as ordinary matrix multiplication, must be ordinary matrix…

The paper compares the asymptotic of the expressions $\frac {1} {x} \sum\limits_{n \leq x} {f(n)}$ and $\sum\limits_{n \leq x} {\frac {f(n)} {n}}$, $\frac {1} {x} \sum\limits_{p \leq x} {f(p)}$ and $\sum\limits_{p \leq x} {\frac {f(p)}…

We provide very effective methods to convert both asymptotic and explicit numeric bounds on the prime counting function $\psi(x)$ to bounds of the same type on both $\theta(x)$ and $\pi(x)$. This follows up our previous work on $\psi(x)$ in…

We prove various estimates for the mean square lattice point discrepancy for dilates of a convex body.
