We discuss various forms of the classical van der Corput's difference theorem and explore applications to and connections with the theory of uniform distribution, ergodic theory, topological dynamics and combinatorics.
Let $\Lambda(n)$ be the von Mangoldt function, and let $[t]$ be the integral part of real number $t$. In this note, we prove that for any $\varepsilon>0$ the asymptotic formula $$ \sum_{n\le x} \Lambda\Big(\Big[\frac{x}{n}\Big]\Big) =…
We describe a new method for finding analytic solutions to some initial-boundary problems for partial differential equations with constant coefficients. The method is based on expanding the denominator of the Laplace transformed Green's…
We establish a new bound for the exponential sum \begin{eqnarray*} \sum_{x\in\mathcal{X}}\Big|\sum_{y\in \mathcal{Y}}\gamma(y)\exp(2\pi i a \lambda^{xy}/p)\Big|, \end{eqnarray*} where $\lambda$ is an element of the residue ring modulo a…
Explicit estimates for the Riemann zeta-function on the $1$-line are derived using various methods, in particular van der Corput lemmas of high order and a theorem of Borel and Carath\'{e}odory.
Improving and extending recent results of the author, we conditionally estimate exponential sums with Dirichlet coefficients of L-functions, both over all integers and over all primes in an interval. In particular, we establish new…
Distorted sums of models were introduced and discussed in [Sh:463]. This notion generalizes the notion of disjoint (or direct) sums of models by letting the summands overlap. In the first section we investigate types in distorted sums and…
The paper applies the theory developed in Part I to the discrete normal approximation in total variation of random vectors in ${\mathbb Z}^d$. We illustrate the use of the method for sums of independent integer valued random vectors, and…
An integer is said to be $y$-friable if its greatest prime factor is less than $y$. In this paper, we obtain estimates for exponential sums over $y$-friable numbers up to $x$ which are non-trivial when $y \geq \exp\{c \sqrt{\log x} \log…
In this paper, we investigate a weighted divisor problem involving the exponential sum of $D_{(1)}(n)$, the $n$th coefficient in the Dirichlet series expansion of $\zeta'(s)^2$. We establish a truncated Vorono\"{i} type formula for the…
We improve the Modified Winitzki's Approximation of the error function $erf(x)\cong \sqrt{1-e^{-x^2\frac{\frac{4}{\pi}+0.147x^2}{1+0.147x^2}}}$ which has error $|\varepsilon (x)| < 1.25 \cdot 10^{-4}$ $\forall x \ge 0$ till reaching 4…
A new derivation is given for the representation, under certain conditions, of the integral dispersion relations of scattering theory through local forms. The resulting expressions have been obtained through an independent procedure to…
Theoretical estimates for the cutoff errors in the Ewald summation method for dipolar systems are derived. Absolute errors in the total energy, forces and torques, both for the real and reciprocal space parts, are considered. The…
This paper introduces DD calculus and describes the basic calculus concepts of derivative and integral in a direct and non-traditional way, without limit definition: Derivative is computed from the point-slope equation of a tangent line and…
We consider a sum of the derivatives of Dirichlet $L$-functions over the zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions. We give an asymptotic formula for the sum.
We generalize Dirichlet's diophantine approximation theorem to approximating any real number $\alpha$ by a sum of two rational numbers $\frac{a_1}{q_1} + \frac{a_2}{q_2}$ with denominators $1 \leq q_1, q_2 \leq N$. This turns out to be…
We present a new method for approximating real-valued functions on ${\mathbb R}^+$ by linear combinations of exponential functions with complex coefficients. The approach is based on a multi-point Pad\'e approximation of the Laplace…
It is proved that as $T \to \infty$, uniformly for all positive integers $\ell \leqslant (\log_3 T) / (\log_4 T)$, we have \begin{equation*} \max_{T\leqslant t\leqslant 2T}\left|\zeta^{(\ell)}\Big(1+it\Big)\right| \geqslant \big(\mathbf…
Motivated by applications to prediction and forecasting, we suggest methods for approximating the conditional distribution function of a random variable Y given a dependent random d-vector X. The idea is to estimate not the distribution of…
Following Schmidt, Thurnheer and Bugeaud-Kristensen, we study how Dirichlet's theorem on linear forms needs to be modified when one requires that the vectors of coefficients of the linear forms make a bounded acute angle with respect to a…
