Fix an integer $h \geq 2$, and let $b_1, \ldots, b_h$ be (not necessarily distinct) positive integers with $\gcd(b_1, \ldots, b_h) = 1$. For any subset $A \subseteq \mathbb{N}$, let $r_A(n)$ denote the number of solutions $(k_1, \ldots,…

For a non-integral real number $c>1$, let $\mathbb{N}_{(c)}:=\{\lfloor n^c\rfloor ~|~ n\in\mathbb{N}\}$. We show that $\mathbb{N}_{(c)}$ contains thin subbases of every order $h\geq 5$ when $1<c<2$, and $h\geq (\lfloor 2c\rfloor+1)(\lfloor…

We prove some distribution results for the $k$-fold divisor function in arithmetic progressions to moduli that exceed the square-root of length $X$ of the sum, with appropriate constrains and averaging on the moduli, saving a power of $X$…

In this note we prove a sharp lower bound on the necessary number of nestings of nested absolute-value functions of generalized hinging hyperplanes (GHH) to represent arbitrary CPWL functions. Previous upper bound states that $n+1$ nestings…

We extend the Matom\"{a}ki-Radziwi\l\l{} theorem to a large collection of unbounded multiplicative functions that are uniformly bounded, but not necessarily bounded by 1, on the primes. Our result allows us to estimate averages of such a…

Let $\mathbb{N}$ denote the set of all nonnegative integers and $A$ be a subset of $\mathbb{N}$. Let $h\geq2$ and let $r_h(A,n)=\sharp \{ (a_1,\ldots,a_h)\in A^{h}: a_1+\cdots+a_h=n\}.$ The set $A$ is called an asymptotic basis of order $h$…
