We prove the Dirichlet problem for second-order iterated Vekua equations, a natural generalization of the Bitsadze equation, is well-posed when the boundary condition is defined as a product of an exponential function and a polynomial on a…

In this paper we study the Dirichlet problem corresponding to an open bounded set $D\subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$ and the operator \begin{equation*} A=\sum_{i=1}^{d}a\frac{\partial ^{2}}{\partial x_{i}^{2}} +\sum_{i=1}^{d}b_{i}\frac{\partial…

We study the extent to which divisors of a typical integer $n$ are concentrated. In particular, defining the Erd\H{o}s-Hooley $\Delta$-function by $\Delta(n) := \max_t \# \{d | n, \log d \in [t,t+1]\}$, we show that $\Delta(n) \geq (\log…

The Erd\H{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv theorem states that for any sequence of $2n-1$ integers, there exists a subsequence of $n$ elements whose sum is divisible by $n$. In this article, we provide a simple, practical $O(n\log\log n)$ algorithm and a…

In this paper we obtain new parametric ideal solutions of the Tarry-Escott problem of degrees 2, 3 and 5, that is, of the diophantine systems $\sum_{i=1}^{k+1}x_i^j=\sum_{i=1}^{k+1}y_i^j,\;j=1,\,2,\,\dots,\,k$, when $k$ is 2, 3 or 5. When…

The discrete acyclic convolution computes the 2n-1 sums sum_{i+j=k; (i,j) in [0,1,2,...,n-1]^2} (a_i b_j) in O(n log n) time. By using suitable offsets and setting some of the variables to zero, this method provides a tool to calculate all…

We deeply appreciate the papers of Ivi\'c on the links between the $2k-$th moments of the Riemann zeta function and, say, $d_k$, the $k-$divisor function. More specifically, both the one bounding the $2k-$th moment with a simple average of…

We consider the generalization error associated with stochastic gradient descent on a smooth convex function over a compact set. We show the first bound on the generalization error that vanishes when the number of iterations $T$ and the…

This paper is concerned with solving the Helmholtz exterior Dirichlet and Neumann problems with large wavenumber $k$ and smooth obstacles using the standard second-kind boundary integral equations. We consider Galerkin and collocation…

We present a new way to factor the dirichlet convolution for completely multiplicative functions whitch led us to constructing a ring that arise from the operations involved in the factorisation. We will conclude by some identities that was…

We study the convolution function $$ C[f(x)] := \int_1^x f(y)f({x\over y}) {{\rm d} y\over y} $$ when $f(x)$ is a suitable number-theoretic error term. Asymptotics and upper bounds for $C[f(x)]$ are derived from mean square bounds for…

We use a weight-preserving, sign-reversing involution to find a combinatorial expansion of $\Delta_{e_k} e_n$ at $q=1$ in terms of the elementary symmetric function basis. We then use a weight-preserving bijection to prove the Delta…

Let $$ T(q)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty d(k) q^k, \quad |q|<1, $$ where $d(k)$ denotes the number of positive divisors of the natural number $k$. We present monotonicity properties of functions defined in terms of $T$. More specifically, we proved…

We study extremal problems for tuples of integers chosen from sets $A_i \subset [X_i,2X_i]$ for $1\le i\le k$, under large GCD and small LCM conditions. For the GCD problem, we extend the work of Green and Walker to higher dimensions.…

We obtain, for $T^\epsilon \le U=U(T)\le T^{1/2-\epsilon}$, asymptotic formulas for $$ \int_T^{2T}(E(t+U) - E(t))^2 dt,\quad \int_T^{2T}(\Delta(t+U) - \Delta(t))^2 dt, $$ where $\Delta(x)$ is the error term in the classical divisor problem,…

We improve the error term in the van der Corput transform for exponential sums \sum_{a \le n \le b} g(n) exp(2\pi i f(n)). For many functions g and f, we can extract the next term in the asymptotic, showing that previous results, such as…

Dirichlet's $L$-functions are natural extensions of the Riemann zeta function. In this paper we first give a brief survey of Ap\'ery-like series for some special values of the zeta function and certain $L$-functions. Then, we establish two…

We consider the initial/boundary value problem for a diffusion equation involving multiple time-fractional derivatives on a bounded convex polyhedral domain. We analyze a space semidiscrete scheme based on the standard Galerkin finite…

Write $f_k({\boldsymbol \alpha};X)=\sum_{x\le X}e(\alpha_1x+\ldots +\alpha_kx^k)$ $(k\ge 3)$. We show that there is a set ${\mathfrak B}\subseteq [0,1)^{k-2}$ of full measure with the property that whenever $(\alpha_2,\ldots…

In this article, we study the Piltz divisor problem, which is sometimes called the generalized Dirichlet divisor problem, over number fields. We establish an identity akin to Vorono\"i's formula concerning the error term in the Dirichlet…
