Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis we obtain asymptotic estimates for the mean value of the number of representations of an integer as a sum of two primes. By proving a corresponding Omega-term, we prove that our result is essentially the best…
In this note we improve an algorithm from a recent paper by Bauer and Bennett for computing a function of Erd\"os that measures the minimal gap size $f(k)$ in the sequence of integers at least one of whose prime factors exceeds $k$. This…
For $k\geq 1$ an integer and $x\geq 1$ a real number, let $\pi_k(x)$ be the number of integers smaller than $x$ having exactly $k$ distinct prime divisors. Building on recent work of Matom\"aki and Radziwi\l\l, we investigate the asymptotic…
We investigate the continuous function $f$ defined by $$x\mapsto \sum_{\sigma\le_L x }2^{-K(\sigma)}$$ as a variant of Chaitin's Omega from the perspective of analysis, computability, and algorithmic randomness. Among other results, we…
As for the Fourier transforms of positive and integrable functions supported in the unit interval, we make a list of improvements for P\'olya's results on the distribution of their positive zeros and give new sufficient conditions under…
Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be an open set of finite measure and let $\Theta$ be a disjoint union of two balls of half measure. We study the stability of the full Dirichlet spectrum of $\Omega$ when its second eigenvalue is close to…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the sequence $\{\Omega(n) \}_{ n \in \mathbb{N} }$ from a dynamical point of view, where $\Omega(n)$ denotes the number of prime factors of $n$ counted with multiplicity. First, we show that for any…
Elliott and Halberstam proved that $\sum_{p<n} 2^{\omega(n-p)}$ is asymptotic to $\phi(n)$. In analogy to the Erd\H{o}s--Kac Theorem, Elliott conjectured that if one restricts the summation to primes $p$ such that $\omega(n-p)\le 2 \log…
We show that a subclass of infinite-state probabilistic programs that can be modeled by probabilistic one-counter automata (pOC) admits an efficient quantitative analysis. In particular, we show that the expected termination time can be…
Let omega(n) be the number of prime divisors of an integer n. Let n be an integer taken at random between 1 and N. What can be said about the value then taken by omega(n)? What is its expected value? What is its distribution in the limit?…
Let $\mathbb C$ be the complex plane, $E$ be a measurable subset in a segment $[0, R]$ of the positive semiaxis $\mathbb R^+$, $u\not\equiv -\infty$ be a subharmonic function on $\mathbb C$. The main result of this article is an upper…
The well-known Hardy--Ramanujan inequality states that if $\omega(n)$ denotes the number of distinct prime factors of a positive integer $n$, then there is an absolute constant $C>0$ such that uniformly for $x\ge2$ and $k\in\mathbb{N}$,…
We show that for any ergodic Lebesgue measure preserving transformation $f: [0,1) \rightarrow [0,1)$ and any decreasing sequence $\{b_i\}_{i=1}^{\infty}$ of positive real numbers with divergent sum, the set…
Meta-analyses of correlation coefficients are an important technique to integrate results from many cross-sectional and longitudinal research designs. Uncertainty in pooled estimates is typically assessed with the help of confidence…
This paper proposes a statistically optimal approach for learning a function value using a confidence interval in a wide range of models, including general non-parametric estimation of an expected loss described as a stochastic programming…
We establish two ergodic theorems which have among their corollaries numerous classical results from multiplicative number theory, including the Prime Number Theorem, a theorem of Pillai-Selberg, a theorem of Erd\H{o}s-Delange, the mean…
The Omega-preprocessing was introduced to improve phase noise rejection by using a least square algorithm. The associated variance is the PVAR which is more efficient than MVAR to separate the different noise types. However, unlike AVAR and…
We show that $ { \omega }(n)$ and $ { \Omega }(n)$, the number of distinct prime factors of $n$ and the number of distinct prime factors of $n$ counted according to multiplicity are good weighting functions for the pointwise ergodic theorem…
The Erdos-Straus conjecture (ESC) concerns the representation of the fraction 4/P, where P is a prime number, as a sum of three positive unit fractions. The focus here is on the case when P is congruent to 1 modulo 4. Two constructive…
Let $a,b\in\mathbb{Z}\setminus\{0\}$. For every $n\in\mathbb{N}$, denote by $\omega_a^*(n)$ the number of shifted-prime divisors $p-a$ of $n$, where $p>a$ is prime. In this paper, we study the moments of $\omega_a^*$ over shifted primes…
