Improving and extending recent results of the author, we conditionally estimate exponential sums with Dirichlet coefficients of L-functions, both over all integers and over all primes in an interval. In particular, we establish new…
In this paper, we combine calibration for population totals proposed by Deville and S\"arndal (1992) with calibration for population quantiles introduced by Harms and Duchesne (2006). We also extend the pseudo-empirical likelihood method…
In 2014, Chen and Singer solved the summability problem of bivariate rational functions. Later an algorithmic proof was presented by Hou and the author. In this paper, the algorithm will be simplified and adapted to the $q$-case.
We establish a pointwise convergence result for ergodic averages modeled along orbits of the form $(n\lfloor n\sqrt{k}\rfloor)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, where $k$ is an arbitrary positive rational number with $\sqrt{k}\not\in\mathbb{Q}$. Namely,…
In this paper, the formulas of some exponential sums over finite field, related to the Coulter's polynomial, are settled based on the Coulter's theorems on Weil sums, which may have potential application in the construction of linear codes…
We revisit the problem of extending quadrature formulas for general weight functions, and provide a generalization of Patterson's method for the constant weight function. The method can be used to compute a nested sequence of quadrature…
We estimate the average of any arithmetic function $k$ over the values of any smooth polynomial in many variables provided only that $k$ has a distribution in arithmetic progressions of fixed modulus. We give several applications of this…
In the first paper of this series we established new upper bounds for multi-variable exponential sums associated with a quadratic form. The present study shows that if one adds a linear term in the exponent, the estimates can be further…
We present a new method for approximating real-valued functions on ${\mathbb R}^+$ by linear combinations of exponential functions with complex coefficients. The approach is based on a multi-point Pad\'e approximation of the Laplace…
Multiple zeta values are real numbers defined by an infinite series generalizing values of the Riemann zeta function at positive integers. Finite truncations of this series are called multiple harmonic sums and are known to have interesting…
We study translation-invariant additive equations of the form $\sum_{i=1}^s \lambda_i \mathbf{P}(\mathbf{n}_i) = 0$ in variables $\mathbf{n}_i \in \mathbb{Z}^d$, where the $\lambda_i$ are nonzero integers summing to zero, and $\mathbf{P}$…
We use the resolution of singularities algorithm of [G4] to provide new estimates for exponential sums as well as new bounds on how often a function f(x) such as a polynomial with integer coefficients is divisible by various powers of a…
We show a necessary and sufficient condition on the existence of finite order entire solutions of linear differential equations $$ f^{(n)}+a_{n-1}f^{(n-1)}+\cdots+a_1f'+a_0f=0,\eqno(+) $$ where $a_i$ are exponential sums for…
Using the theory of metaplectic forms,we study the asymptotic behavior of cubic exponential sums over the ring of Eisenstein integers. In the first part of the paper, some non-trivial estimates on average over arithmetic progressions are…
We consider multiple orthogonal polynomials associated with the exponential cubic weight e^{-x^3} over two contours in the complex plane. We study the basic properties of these polynomials, including the Rodrigues formula and…
In the present paper, we derive a renormalization formula "\`a la Hardy-Littlewood" for the Gaussian exponential sums with an exact formula for the remainder term. We use this formula to describe the typical growth of the Gaussian…
Writing for a general mathematical audience, we provide elementary upper and lower bounds on the growth (as a function of N) of the sum \sum_{n=1}^N (-1)^{\floor{n x}} for various fixed x. For example, if x is a quadratic irrational, then…
We introduce a general class $F_0$ of additive functions $f$ such that $f(p) = 1$ and prove a tight bound for exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n \le x} f(n) e(\alpha n)$ where $f \in F_0$ and $e(\theta) = \exp(2\pi i \theta)$. Both…
We estimate short exponential sums weighted by the Fourier coefficients of a Maass form. This requires working out a certain transformation formula for non-linear exponential sums, which is of independent interest. We also discuss how the…
