The classical multivariate extreme-value theory concerns the modeling of extremes in a multivariate random sample, suggesting the use of max-stable distributions. In this work, the classical theory is extended to the case where aggregated…

We look for pointwise bounds on a plurisubharmonic function near its singularity point, given the value of its generalized Lelong number with respect to a plurisubharmonic weight. To this end, an extremal problem is considered. In certain…

We study the concept of universal sets from the additive--combinatorial point of view. Among other results we obtain some applications of this type of uniformity to sets avoiding solutions to linear equations, and get an optimal upper bound…

We perform certain alternating binomial summations with parameters that occur in the analysis of algorithms. A combination of integral and special function and special number representations is used. The results are sufficiently general to…

Sumsets are central objects in additive combinatorics. In 2007, Granville asked whether one can efficiently recognize whether a given set $S$ is a sumset, i.e. whether there is a set $A$ such that $A+A=S$. Granville suggested an algorithm…

We solve an elementary number theory problem on sums of fractional parts, using methods from group theory. We apply our result to deduce the finiteness of certain monodromy representations.

Our paper is devoted to several problems from the field of modified divisors: namely exponential and infinitary divisors. We study the behaviour of modified divisors, sum-of-divisors and totient functions. Main results concern with the…
