Let $R_{k,\ell}(N)$ be the representation function for the sum of the $k$-th power of a prime and the $\ell$-th power of a positive integer. Languasco and Zaccagnini (2017) proved an asymptotic formula for the average of $R_{1,2}(N)$ over…

We study the general fragmentation process starting from one element of size unity (E=1). At each elementary step, each existing element of size $E$ can be fragmented into $k\,(\ge 2)$ elements with probability $p_k$. From the continuous…

We discuss in detail the asymptotic distribution of sample expectiles. First, we show uniform consistency under the assumption of a finite mean. In case of a finite second moment, we show that for expectiles other then the mean, only the…

The problem of sums of independent, identically distributed random variables with stretched-exponential tails exhibits a dynamical phase transition and has recently reemerged in the context of active transport and condensation phenomena. We…

For irrational $\alpha$, $\{n\alpha\}$ is uniformly distributed mod 1 in the Weyl sense, and the asymptotic behavior of its discrepancy is completely known. In contrast, very few precise results exist for the discrepancy of subsequences…

Let $m$ be a natural number, and let $\mathcal{Q}$ be a set containing at least $\exp(C m)$ primes. We show that one can find infinitely many strings of $m$ consecutive primes each of which has some $q\in\mathcal{Q}$ as a primitive root,…

Let $p_n$ denote the $n$-th prime. In 2000, Panaitopol established the inequality $p_1 \cdots p_n > p_{n+1}^{n - \pi(n)}$ for all $n \geq 2$, where $\pi(x)$ is the prime counting function. In 2021, Yang and Liao refined this by introducing…

We study the order statistics of a random walk (RW) of $n$ steps whose jumps are distributed according to symmetric Erlang densities $f_p(\eta)\sim |\eta|^p \,e^{-|\eta|}$, parametrized by a non-negative integer $p$. Our main focus is on…

Let $q>r\ge1$ be coprime integers. Let $R(n,q,r)$ be the $n$th record gap between primes in the arithmetic progression $r$, $r+q$, $r+2q,\ldots,$ and denote by $N_{q,r}(x)$ the number of such records observed below $x$. For $x\to\infty$, we…

In this paper we establish a general asymptotic formula for the sum of the first $n$ prime numbers, which leads to a generalization of the most accurate asymptotic formula given by Massias and Robin. Further we prove a series of results…

We prove that a positive proportion of the gaps between consecutive primes are short gaps of length less than any fixed fraction of the average spacing between primes.

Let $s_1, s_2, s_3, \cdots$ be the set of squarefree numbers in ascending order. In this paper, we prove that the following asymptotic on moments of gaps between squarefree numbers \[ \sum_{s_{k+1} \le x} (s_{k+1} - s_k)^\gamma \sim…

This work gives a general approach to the determination of the asymptotic behavior of the sums of functions of primes based on the distribution of primes. It refines the estimate of the remainder term of the asymptotic expansion of the sums…

We establish a new asymptotic formula for the number of polynomials of degree $n$ with $k$ prime factors over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. The error term tends to $0$ uniformly in $n$ and in $q$, and $k$ can grow beyond $\log n$.…
