We study the distribution of squares in a Piatetski-Shapiro sequence $\left(\lfloor n^c\rfloor\right)_{n\in\mathbb N}$ with $c>1$ and $c\not\in\mathbb N$. We also study more general equations $\lfloor{n^c}\rfloor = sm^2$, $n,m\in \mathbb…

After the work of Bordell\`{e}s, Dai, Heyman, Pan and Shparlinki (2018) and Heyman (2019), several authors studied the averages of arithmetic functions over the sequence $[x/n]$ and the integers of the form $[x/n]$. In this paper, we give…

A tournament on a graph is an orientation of its edges. The score sequence lists the in-degrees in non-decreasing order. Works by Winston and Kleitman (1983) and Kim and Pittel (2000) showed that the number $S_n$ of score sequences on the…

The asymptotic variance is an important criterion to evaluate the performance of Markov chains, especially for the central limit theorems. We give the variational formulas for the asymptotic variance of discrete-time (non-reversible) Markov…

We evaluate the probabilities of various events under the uniform distribution on the set of 312-avoiding permutations of 1,...,N. We derive exact formulas for the probability that the ith element of a random permutation is a specific value…

Let $x$ be a real number satisfying $x \geq 2$. For any positive integer $n$, we define $s(n)$ as the smallest non-negative integer such that $n + s(n)$ is a perfect square. In this paper, we derive an asymptotic formula for the sum…

Let $R_{m, \mathrm{sq-full}}(N)$ be a representation function for the sum of a prime and a square-full number. In this article, we prove an asymptotic formula for the sum of $R_{m, \mathrm{sq-full}}(N)$ over positive integers $N$ in a short…

We prove asymptotic formulas for cyclicity of reductions of elliptic curves over the rationals in a family of curves having specified torsion. These results agree with established conditional results and with average results taken over…

Using a result of Gessel and Reutenauer, we find a simple formula for the number of cyclic permutations with a given descent set, by expressing it in terms of ordinary descent numbers (i.e., those counting all permutations with a given…

We improve some results about the asymptotic formulae in short intervals for the average number of representations of integers of the forms $n=p_{1}^{\ell_1}+p_{2}^{\ell_2}$ and $n=p^{\ell_1} + m^{\ell_2}$, where $\ell_1, \ell_2\ge 2$ are…

This paper defines an approximation scheme for a solution of the Poisson equation of a geometrically ergodic Metropolis-Hastings chain $\Phi$. The approximations give rise to a natural sequence of control variates for the ergodic average…

We give an asymptotic formula for the mean value of the number of representations of an integer as sum of two squares known as the Gauss circle problem.

In this paper we introduce the iterations $\phi^k_1(t)$ of the Jacob's ladder. It is proved, for example, that the mean-value of the product $$Z^2[\phi^n_1(t)]Z^2[\phi^{n-1}(t)]... Z^2[\phi^0_1(t)]$$ over the segment $[T,T+U]$ is…

Continuing the computations of the previous paper,[1], we calculate another approximation to the expectation value of the product of two permanents in the ensemble of 0-1 n x n matrices with like row and column sums equal r uniformly…

An asymptotic series in Ramanujan's second notebook (Entry 10, Chapter 3) is concerned with the behavior of the expected value of $\phi(X)$ for large $\lambda$ where $X$ is a Poisson random variable with mean $\lambda$ and $\phi$ is a…

The asymptotic critical exponent measures for a sequence the maximum repetition rate of factors of growing length. The infimum of asymptotic critical exponents of sequences of a certain class is called the asymptotic repetition threshold of…

In this paper, we study the abelian complexity of the Rudin-Shapiro sequence and a related sequence. We show that these two sequences share the same complexity function $\rho(n)$ which satisfies certain recurrence relations. As a…

For the Riesz and logarithmic potentials, we consider greedy energy sequences $(a_n)_{n=0}^\infty$ on the unit circle $S^1$, constructed in such a way that for every $n\geq 1$, the discrete potential generated by the first $n$ points…

We prove two estimates for the Barban--Davenport--Halberstam type variance of a general complex sequence in arithmetic progressions. The proofs are elementary, and our estimates are capable of yielding an asymptotic for the variance when…
