In this paper we show how one can obtain simultaneous rational approximants for $\zeta_q(1)$ and $\zeta_q(2)$ with a common denominator by means of Hermite-Pade approximation using multiple little q-Jacobi polynomials and we show that…

This note investigates the prime values of the polynomial $f(t)=qt^2+a$ for any fixed pair of relatively prime integers $ a\geq 1$ and $ q\geq 1$ of opposite parity. For a large number $x\geq1$, an asymptotic result of the form $\sum_{n\leq…

Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be irrational real numbers and $0<\F<1/30$. We prove a precise estimate for the number of positive integers $q\leq Q$ that satisfy $\|q\alpha\|\cdot\|q\beta\|<\F$. If we choose $\F$ as a function of $Q$ we get…

Let \beta be a real number. Then for almost all irrational \alpha>0 (in the sense of Lebesgue measure) \limsup_{x\to\infty}\pi_{\alpha,\beta}^*(x)(\log x)^2/x>=1, where \pi_{\alpha,\beta}^*(x)={p<=x: both p and [\alpha p+\beta] are primes}.

A study of certain Hamiltonian systems has lead Y. Long to conjecture the existence of infinitely many primes of the form $p=2[\alpha n]+1$, where $1<\alpha<2$ is a fixed irrational number. An argument of P. Ribenboim coupled with classical…

We show that, if a sequence of non-zero polynomials in $\mathbb{Z}[X_1,X_2]$ take small values at translates of a fixed point $(\xi,\eta)$ by multiples of a fixed rational point within the group $\mathbb{C}\times\mathbb{C}^*$, then $\xi$…
