For the space of functions that can be approximated by linear chirps, we prove a reconstruction theorem by random sampling at arbitrary rates.
We cosider the number of r-tuples of squarefree numbers in a short interval. We prove that it cannot be much bigger than the expected value and we also estabish an asymptotic formula if the interval is not very short.
We provide a sufficient characterization for subsets $\mathcal{A}$ of the polynomial ring $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ for which partial sums of Steinhaus random multiplicative functions approach a complex standard normal distribution. This extends…
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 show that the contact process on a random $d$-regular graph initiated by a single infected vertex obeys the "cutoff phenomenon" in its supercritical phase. In particular, we prove that when the infection rate is larger than the critical…
We obtain a new bound on certain double sums of multiplicative characters improving the range of several previous results. This improvement comes from new bounds on the number of collinear triples in finite fields, which is a classical…
In this paper, we discuss some numerical realizations of Shannon's sampling theorem. First we show the poor convergence of classical Shannon sampling sums by presenting sharp upper and lower bounds of the norm of the Shannon sampling…
Sequential estimation of the success probability $p$ in inverse binomial sampling is considered in this paper. For any estimator $\hat p$, its quality is measured by the risk associated with normalized loss functions of linear-linear or…
Constructing a Pseudo Random Function (PRF) is a fundamental problem in cryptology. Such a construction, implemented by truncating the last $m$ bits of permutations of $\{0, 1\}^{n}$ was suggested by Hall et al. (1998). They conjectured…
We consider moments of higher powers of quadratic Dirichlet character sums. In a restricted region, we give their asymptotic behavior by using de la Bret\`{e}che's multivariable Tauberian theorem. We also give the lower bound of the…
Let $ k,l \geq 2$ be natural numbers, and let $d_k,d_l$ denote the $k$-fold and $l$-fold divisor functions, respectively. We analyse the asymptotic behavior of the sum $\sum_{x<n\leq x+H_1}d_k(n)d_l(n+h)$. More precisely, let…
We use the replica method of statistical mechanics to examine a typical performance of correctly reconstructing $N$-dimensional sparse vector $bx=(x_i)$ from its linear transformation $by=bF bx$ of $P$ dimensions on the basis of…
We construct sequences $\{a_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\in\{-1,1\}^{\mathbb{N}}$ with small values of signed harmonic sums \[ \sum_{n\in\mathcal{A}\cap[1,N]}\frac{a_n}{n}, \] for any reasonably dense subsets $\mathcal{A}\subset\mathbb{N}.$ We…
We introduce the notion of a random matrix-valued multiplicative function, generalizing Rademacher random multiplicative functions to matrices. We provide an asymptotic for the second moment based on a linear recurrence property for…
Recently, several bounds have been obtained on the number of solutions to congruences of the type $$ (x_1+s)...(x_{\nu}+s)\equiv (y_1+s)...(y_{\nu}+s)\not\equiv0 \pmod p $$ modulo a prime $p$ with variables from some short intervals. Here,…
In this paper, we study the rate distortion function of the i.i.d sequence of multiplications of a Bernoulli $p$ random variable and a gaussian random variable $\sim N(0,1)$. We use a new technique in the derivation of the lower bound in…
We show that the exponent in the inverse power law of word frequencies for the monkey-at-the-typewriter model of Zipf's law will tend towards -1 under broad conditions as the alphabet size increases to infinity and the letter probabilities…
Random multiplicative processes $w_t =\lambda_1 \lambda_2 ... \lambda_t$ (with < \lambda_j > 0 ) lead, in the presence of a boundary constraint, to a distribution $P(w_t)$ in the form of a power law $w_t^{-(1+\mu)}$. We provide a simple and…
Suppose a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ that satisfies a certain regularity instance (that is, there is a partition of $H$ given by the hypergraph regularity lemma into a bounded number of quasirandom subhypergraphs of prescribed densities).…
Let $k \in \mathbb{N}$ and suppose we are given $k$ integers $1 \leq a_1, \dots, a_k \leq n$. If $\sqrt{a_1} + \dots + \sqrt{a_k}$ is not an integer, how close can it be to one? When $k=1$, the distance to the nearest integer is $\gtrsim…
