We consider lattice walks in $\R^k$ confined to the region $0<x_1<x_2...<x_k$ with fixed (but arbitrary) starting and end points. The walks are required to be "reflectable", that is, we assume that the number of paths can be counted using…
We give an asymptotic formula for correlations \[ \sum_{n\le x}f_1(P_1(n))f_2(P_2(n))\cdot \dots \cdot f_m(P_m(n))\] where $f\dots,f_m$ are bounded "pretentious" multiplicative functions, under certain natural hypotheses. We then deduce…
In this paper we consider a discrete-time dynamical system on the real line by random iteration of two functions. These functions are assumed to satisfy appropriate monotonicity conditions; optionally, a symmetry condition may be imposed.…

Asymptotic expansions are obtained for contour integrals of the form \[ \int_a^b \exp \left( - zp(t) + z^{\nu /\mu } r(t) \right)q(t)dt, \] in which $z$ is a large real or complex parameter, $p(t)$, $q(t)$ and $r(t)$ are analytic functions…
The paper proves a generalization of Wintner's theorem on the asymptotics of summation functions to the case of summation functions with nonlinear asymptotics. The class of arithmetic functions that have a logarithmic asymptotic mean is…
The asymptotic expansion of digamma function is a starting point for the derivation of approximants for harmonic sums or Euler-Mascheroni constant. It is usual to derive such approximations as values of logarithmic function, which leads to…
We derive an asymptotic error formula for Gauss--Legendre quadrature applied to functions with limited regularity, using the contour-integral representation of the remainder term. To address the absence of uniformly valid approximations of…
The variance of the number of lattice points inside the dilated bounded set rD with random position in R^d has asymptotics r^(d-1) if the rotational quadratic average of the modulus of the Fourier transform of the set is O(r^(-d-1)). The…
We develop a new approach to recurrence and the existence of non-constant harmonic functions on infinite weighted graphs. The approach is based on the capacity of subsets of metric boundaries with respect to intrinsic metrics. The main tool…
We give precise asymptotics to the number of first time returning random walks in the standard orthogonal lattice in $\mathbb{R}$ and we prove that these numbers do not form a $P$-recursive sequence. In the process, the known asymptotics of…
In this work we construct uniform asymptotic expansion of $\sn(t|m)$ - Jacobi when $m\to1-0$. The constructed expansion is valid over more than a half of period. The turning point is included into the interval of validity for the…
The asymptotic behavior of solutions to the second-order linear differential equation $d^{2}w/dz^{2}=\{u^{2}f(\alpha,z)+g(z)\}w$ is analyzed for a large real parameter $u$ and $\alpha\in[0,\alpha_{0}]$, where $\alpha_{0}>0$ is fixed. The…
