In this article we further develop methods for representing integers as a sum of three cubes. In particular, a barrier to solving the case $k=3$, which was outlined in a previous paper of the second author, is overcome. A very recent…
The convolution sum, $\underset{\substack{ {(l,m)\in\mathbb{N}_{0}^{2}} {\alpha\,l+\beta\,m=n} } }{\sum}\sigma(l)\sigma(m)$, where $\alpha\beta=44,52$, is evaluated for all natural numbers $n$. We then use these convolution sums to…
In this paper, it is shown that if F(x , y) is an irreducible binary form with integral coefficients and degree $n \geq 3$, then provided that the absolute value of the discriminant of F is large enough, the equation |F(x , y)| = 1 has at…
For integer $n\geqslant 1$ and real number $z\geqslant 1$, define $M(n,z):=\sum_{d|n,\,d\leqslant z}\mu(d)$ where $\mu$ denotes the M\"obius function. Put ${\cal L}(y):=\exp\left\{(\log y)^{3/5}/(\log_2y)^{1/5}\right\}$ $(y\geqslant 3)$. We…
We prove new upper bounds for the number of representations of an arbitrary rational number as a sum of three unit fractions. In particular, for fixed $m$ there are at most $\mathcal{O}_{\epsilon}(n^{3/5+\epsilon})$ solutions of…
A subset $S$ of the Boolean hypercube $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ is a sumset if $S = \{a + b : a, b\in A\}$ for some $A \subseteq \mathbb{F}_2^n$. Sumsets are central objects of study in additive combinatorics, featuring in several influential…
The divisor function $\sigma(n)$ denotes the sum of the divisors of the positive integer $n$. For a prime $p$ and $m \in \mathbb{N}$, the $p$-adic valuation of $m$ is the highest power of $p$ which divides $m$. Formulas for…
A nonzero rational number is called a cube sum if it is of form $a^3+b^3$ with $a,b\in \mathbb{Q}^\times$. In this paper, we prove that for any odd integer $k\geq 1$, there exist infinitely many cube-free odd integers $n$ with exactly $k$…
By studying the n-dimensional cube, the author finds a new way, and use it to proves that the indefinite equation $x^n+y^n=z^n(n=>3)$ has no any solutions of positive integers.
We prove that there is a prime between $n^3$ and $(n+1)^3$ for all $n \geq \exp(\exp(33.217))$. Our new tool which we derive is a version of Landau's explicit formula for the Riemann zeta-function with explicit bounds on the error term. We…
We consider incomplete exponential sums in several variables of the form S(f,n,m) = \frac{1}{2^n} \sum_{x_1 \in \{-1,1\}} ... \sum_{x_n \in \{-1,1\}} x_1 ... x_n e^{2\pi i f(x)/p}, where m>1 is odd and f is a polynomial of degree d with…

We will give an explicit upper bound for the number of solutions to cubic inequality |F(x, y)| \leq h, where F(x, y) is a cubic binary form with integer coefficients and positive discriminant D. Our upper bound is independent of h, provided…
We provide an abstract estimate of the form \[ \|f-f_{Q,\mu}\|_{X \left(Q,\frac{\mathrm{d} \mu}{Y(Q)}\right)}\leq c(\mu,Y)\psi(X)\|f\|_{\mathrm{BMO}(\mathrm{d}\mu)} \] for all cubes $Q$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and every function $f\in…
Let $f(n)$ be a multiplicative function satisfying $|f(n)|\leq 1$, $q$ $(\leq N^2)$ be a positive integer and $a$ be an integer with $(a,\,q)=1$. In this paper, we shall prove that $$\sum_{\substack{n\leq N\\ (n,\,q)=1}}f(n)e({a\bar{n}\over…
For a given integer $m$ and any residue $a \pmod{m}$ that can be written as a sum of 3 squares modulo $m$, we show the existence of infinitely many integers $n \equiv a \pmod{m}$ such that the number of representations of $n$ as a sum of…
We give an upper bound for the exponential $\sum_{m=1}^M \exp( 2i\pi f (m))$ in terms of $M$ and $\lambda$, where $\lambda$ is a small positive number which denotes the size of the fourth derivative of the real valued function $f$. The…
Given a set of $m$ points and a set of $n$ lines in the plane, we consider the problem of computing the faces of the arrangement of the lines that contain at least one point. In this paper, we present an $O(m^{2/3}n^{2/3}+(n+m)\log n)$ time…
In this paper, it is proved that, for $\gamma\in(\frac{317}{320},1)$, every sufficiently large odd integer can be written as the sum of nine cubes of primes, each of which is of the form $[n^{1/\gamma}]$. This result constitutes an…
We prove that if $B$ is a set of $N$ positive integers such that $B\cdot B$ contains an arithmetic progression of length $M$, then for some absolute $C > 0$, $$ \pi(M) + C \frac {M^{2/3}}{\log^2 M} \leq N, $$ where $\pi$ is the prime…
