We continue our investigations of the analytic properties of nonlinear twists of L-functions developed in [4],[5] and [7]. Given an L-function of degree d, we first extend the transformation formula in [5], relating a twist with leading…

From mostly a measure-theoretic consideration, we show that for every nonnegative, finite, and $L^{1}$ function on a given finite measure space there is some nontrivial sequence of real numbers such that the series, obtained from summing…

We prove that if $f(x) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty a_k x^k,$ $a_k >0, $ is an entire function such that the sequence $Q := \left( \frac{a_k^2}{a_{k-1}a_{k+1}} \right)_{k=1}^\infty$ is non-decreasing and $\frac{a_1^2}{a_{0}a_{2}} \geq 2\sqrt[3]{2},$…

It is well known that Sturmian sequences are the aperiodic sequences that are balanced over a 2-letter alphabet. They are also characterized by their complexity: they have exactly $(n+1)$ factors of length $n$. One possible generalization…

Recently, a concept of forward continuity and a concept of forward compactness are introduced in the senses that a function $f$ is forward continuous if $\lim_{n\to\infty} \Delta f(x_{n})=0$ whenever $\lim_{n\to\infty} \Delta x_{n}=0$,\;…

We describe algebraic curves $ X : F(x, y) = 0 $ defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ that satisfy the following property: there exist a number field $k$ and an infinite set $S \subset k$ such that, for every $y \in S$, the roots of the…

The results of [1,2] on linear homogeneous two-weight codes over finite Frobenius rings are exended in two ways: It is shown that certain non-projective two-weight codes give rise to strongly regular graphs in the way described in [1,2].…

We consider one-dimensional systems in the presence of a quasi-periodic perturbation, in the analytical setting, and study the problem of existence of quasi-periodic solutions which are resonant with the frequency vector of the…

In this paper we consider the fractional parts of a general sequence, for example the sequence $\alpha \sqrt{n}$ or $\alpha n^2$. We give a general method, which allows one to show that long-range correlations (correlations where the…

In this article, we characterize completely alternating functions on an abelian semigroup $S$ in terms of completely monotone functions on the product semigroup $S\times \mathbb Z_+$. We also discuss completely alternating sequences induced…

We give an alternative proof of a conjecture of Bollob\'as, Brightwell and Leader, first proved by Peter Allen, stating that the number of boolean functions definable by 2-SAT formulae is $(1+o(1))2^{\binom{n+1}{2}}$. One step in the proof…

We study trace functions on the form $ t\to\tr f(A+tB) $ where $ f $ is a real function defined on the positive half-line, and $ A $ and $ B $ are matrices such that $ A $ is positive definite and $ B $ is positive semi-definite. If $ f $…

In this article, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the asymptotic behavior of Bell numbers, enhancing and unifying various results previously dispersed in the literature. We establish several explicit lower and upper bounds. The main…

This paper is about certain string-to-string functions, called the polyregular functions. These are like the regular string-to-string functions, except that they can have polynomial (and not just linear) growth. The class has four…

A bracket polynomial on the integers is a function formed using the operations of addition, multiplication and taking fractional parts. For a fairly large class of bracket polynomials we show that if p is a bracket polynomial of degree k-1…

The binomial convolution of two sequences $\{a_n\}$ and $\{b_n\}$ is the sequence whose $n$th term is $\sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} a_k b_{n-k}$. If $\{a_n\}$ and $\{b_n\}$ have rational generating functions then so does their binomial…

A sequence $(x_{n})$ of points in a topological group is called $\Delta$-quasi-slowly oscillating if $(\Delta x_{n})$ is quasi-slowly oscillating, and is called quasi-slowly oscillating if $(\Delta x_{n})$ is slowly oscillating. A function…

For the Stirling numbers of the second kind $S(n,k)$ and the ordered Bell numbers $B(n)$, we prove the identity $\sum_{k=1}^{n/2} S(n,2k)(2k-1)! = B(n-1)$. An analogous identity holds for the sum over odd $k$'s.

The real monomial representations of Clifford algebras give rise to two sequences of bent functions. For each of these sequences, the corresponding Cayley graphs are strongly regular graphs, and the corresponding sequences of strongly…

In the simple case of a Bernoulli shift on two symbols, zero and one, by permuting the symbols, it is obvious that any two equal entropy shifts are isomorphic. We show that the isomorphism can be realized by a factor that maps a binary…
