Let ${\bf u}$ be a nonzero linear functional acting on the space of polynomials. Let $\mathbf{D}_{q,\omega}$ be a Hahn operator acting on the dual space of polynomials. Suppose that there exist polynomials $\phi$ and $\psi$, with…

This paper studies the problem of which sequences of non-negative integers arise as the functions $\operatorname{reg} I^{n-1}/I^n$, $\operatorname{reg} R/I^n$, $\operatorname{reg} I^n$ for an ideal $I$ generated by forms of degree $d$ in a…

Examples of discontinuous functions already appear in the work of Euler, Abel, Dirichlet, Fourier, and Bolzano. A ground-breaking discovery due to Baire was that many discontinuous functions are well-behaved in that they are the pointwise…

The goal of this expository article is a fairly self-contained account of some averaging processes of functions along sequences of the form $(\alpha^n x)^{}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, where $\alpha$ is a fixed real number with $| \alpha | > 1$ and…

Let $\varphi(x_1,\ldots,x_h,y) = u_1x_1 + \cdots + u_hx_h+vy$ be a linear form with nonzero integer coefficients $u_1,\ldots, u_h, v.$ Let $\mathcal{A} = (A_1,\ldots, A_h)$ be an $h$-tuple of finite sets of integers and let $B$ be an…

A sequence $\Big(u_n\Big)_{n=0}^{\infty}$ is said to be convex if it satisfies the following inequality $$ 2u_n\leq u_{n-1}+u_{n+1}\qquad \mbox{for all}\qquad n\in\mathbb{N}. $$ We present several characterizations of convex sequences and…

We prove some properties of the sequence $\{a_n\}_{n\ge1}$ defined by $a_n=\pi(n)-\pi\bigl(\textstyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}a_k\bigr).$

The Bessel-Neumann expansion (of integer order) of a function $g:\mathbb{C}\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$ corresponds to representing $g$ as a linear combination of basis functions $\phi_0,\phi_1,\ldots$, i.e., $g(z)=\sum_{\ell = 0}^\infty w_\ell…

We present a construction of non-rectifiable, repetitive Delone sets in every Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ with $d \geq 2$. We further obtain a close to optimal repetitivity function for such sets. The proof is based on the process of…

We prove that every sufficiently large integer $n$ can be written as the sum of a prime and an integer that is not square-free. In addition, we expect this result holds for every $n > 24$ and prove two results to support this claim. First,…

We show that integrals of the form \[ \dint_{0}^{1} x^{m}{\rm Li}_{p}(x){\rm Li}_{q}(x)dx, (m\geq -2, p,q\geq 1) \] and \[ \dint_{0}^{1} \frac{\ds \log^{r}(x){\rm Li}_{p}(x){\rm Li}_{q}(x)}{\ds x}dx, (p,q,r\geq 1) \] satisfy certain…

Let E_n={x_i=1, x_i+x_j=x_k, x_i \cdot x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}}. For a positive integer n, let f(n) denote the greatest finite total number of solutions of a subsystem of E_n in integers x_1,...,x_n. We prove: (1) the function f is…

Let $p,p_1,\ldots,p_m$ be positive integers with $p_1\leq p_2\leq\cdots\leq p_m$ and $x\in [-1,1)$, define the so-called Euler type sums ${S_{{p_1}{p_2} \cdots {p_m},p}}\left( x \right)$, which are the infinite sums whose general term is a…

We define the $k$-dimensional generalized Euler function $\varphi_k(n)$ as the number of ordered $k$-tuples $(a_1,\ldots,a_k)\in {\Bbb N}^k$ such that $1\le a_1,\ldots,a_k\le n$ and both the product $a_1\cdots a_k$ and the sum $a_1+\cdots…

We introduce a new generalization of Euler's $\varphi$-function associated with a system of polynomials of several variables. We reprove by a short direct approach certain known related identities, and study some other special cases that do…

We show that for any nonprincipal ultrafilter $U$ on the positive integers, then probability measure induced by the $U$-limit of asymptotic density is not a universally measurable function.

For a holomorphic function $f$ in the open unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ and $\zeta\in\mathbb{D}$, $S_n(f,\zeta)$ denotes the $n$-th partial sum of the Taylor development of $f$ at $\zeta$. Given an increasing sequence of positive integers…

We generalize the classical Olivier's theorem which says that for any convergent series $\sum_n a_n$ with positive nonincreasing real terms the sequence $(n a_n)$ tends to zero. Our results encompass many known generalizations of Olivier's…

We prove that the set of all integrable functions whose sequences of negative (resp. nonnegative) Fourier coefficients belong to $\ell^1\cap\ell^\Phi_{\phi,w}$ (resp. to $\ell^1\cap\ell^\Psi_{\psi,\varrho}$), where $\ell^\Phi_{\phi,w}$ and…

We propose a definition of an Euler characteristic for unbounded chain complexes by taking the (usual) Euler characteristics of successively longer parts of the complex, weighted inversely proportional to the length, and passing to the…
