We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of primes of the shape $a^2 +p^4$, thereby refining the well known work of Friedlander and Iwaniec. Along the way, we prove a result on equidistribution of primes up to $x$, in which the moduli…

We consider a fractional Schr\"odinger-Poisson system in the whole space $\mathbb R^{N}$ in presence of a positive potential and depending on a small positive parameter $\varepsilon.$ We show that, for suitably small $\varepsilon$ (i.e. in…

Let $p>5$ be a fixed prime. We obtain an asymptotic formula related to small solutions of quadratic congruences of the form $x_1^2+x_2^2\equiv x_3^2\bmod{p^n}$ where $\max\{|x_1|,|x_2|,|x_3|\}\le p^{\nu n}$ with $\nu>1/2$.

In dimensions one to three, the fundamental solution to the free wave equation is positive. Therefore, there exists a simple positivity criterion for solutions. We use this to obtain large global solutions to two well-studied…

Can a smooth plane cubic be defined by the determinant of a square matrix with entries in linear forms in three variables? If we can, we say that it admits a linear determinantal representation. In this paper, we investigate linear…

Recently the author used certain quaternion orders to demonstrate the universality of some quaternary quadratic forms. Here a further study is done on one of these orders analogous to Hurwitz's proof of the formula for the number of…

A fundamental result in linear algebra states that if a homogenous linear equation system has only the trivial solution, then there are at most as many variables as equations. We prove the following generalisation of this phenomenon. If a…

We study the singular series associated to a cubic form with integer coefficients. If the number of variables is at least $10$, we prove the absolute convergence (and hence positivity) under the assumption of Davenport's Geometric…

Systems of the form $x = (A x^s)^{1/s} + b$ arise in a range of economic, financial and control problems, where $A$ is a linear operator acting on a space of real-valued functions (or vectors) and $s$ is a nonzero real value. In these…

We will prove that for every $m\geq 0$ there exists an $\varepsilon=\varepsilon(m)>0$ such that if $0<\lambda<\varepsilon$ and $x$ is sufficiently large in terms of $m$ and $\lambda$, then $$|\lbrace n\leq x: |[n,n+\lambda\log n]\cap…

We extend known results on the number of solutions to a linear equation in at least three prime numbers when the primes involved are required to lie in specified Chebotarev classes. We prove asymptotic results similar to previous ones only…

Systems of random linear equations may or may not have solutions with all components being non-negative. The question is, e.g., of relevance when the unknowns are concentrations or population sizes. In the present paper we show that if such…

In this note, we give an elementary proof of the following classical fact. Any positive definite ternary quadratic form over the rational numbers fails to represent infinitely many positive integers. For any ternary quadratic form (positive…

We consider polynomials of a few linear forms and show how exploit this type of sparsity for optimization on some particular domains like the Euclidean sphere or a polytope. Moreover, a simple procedure allows to detect this form of…

We estimate the number of principal ideals $ I $ of norm $ \mathrm{N}(I) \leq x $ in the family of the simplest cubic fields. The advantage of our result is that it provides the correct order of magnitude for arbitrary $ x \geq 1 $, even…

Let $\F$ be a family of $r$ integral forms of degree $k\geq 2$ and $\LL=(l_1,\ldots,l_m)$ be a family of pairwise linearly independent linear forms in $n$ variables $\x=(x_1,...,x_n)$. We study the number of solutions $\x\in[1,N]^n$ to the…

In this note we obtain the solutions of four $q$-functional equations and express the solutions in $q$-operator forms. These equations give sufficient conditions for $q$-operator methods.

We investigate the average distribution of primes represented by positive definite integral binary quadratic forms, the average being taken over negative fundamental discriminants in long ranges. In particular, we prove corresponding…

In this paper we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of solutions in prime numbers to systems of simultaneous linear inequalities with algebraic coefficients. For $m$ simultaneous inequalities we require at least $m+2$ variables,…

In this paper we consider certain quaternary quadratic forms and octonary quadratic forms and by using the theory of modular forms, we find formulae for the number of representations of a positive integer by these quadratic forms.
