Infinite series of the type Sum{n=1,infinity}(alpha/2)_n_2F_1(-n, b; gamma; y)/(n n!) are investigated. Closed-form sums are obtained for alpha a positive integer alpha=1,2,3, ... The limiting case of b --> infinity, after y is replaced…

Let $A,B \subset \mathbb{R}$ be closed Ahlfors-regular sets with dimensions $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} A =: \alpha$ and $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} B =: \beta$. I prove that $$\dim_{\mathrm{H}} [A + \theta B] \geq \alpha + \beta \cdot \tfrac{1 - \alpha}{2 -…

In this note we show, roughly speaking, that if $\mathcal{B}$ is a Boolean algebra included in the natural way in the collection $\mathcal{D}/_\sim$ of all equivalence classes of natural density sets of the natural numbers, modulo null…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a finite set of integers, and let $h\mathcal{A}$ denote the $h$-fold sumset of $\mathcal{A}$. Let $(h\mathcal{A})^{(t)}$ be subset of $h\mathcal{A}$ consisting of all integers that have at least $t$ representations as a…

Let G be an arbitrary Abelian group and let A be a finite subset of G. A has small additive doubling if |A+A| < K|A| for some K>0. These sets were studied in papers of G.A. Freiman, Y. Bilu, I. Ruzsa, M.C.--Chang, B. Green and T.Tao. In the…

We show that if $A=\{a_1 < a_2 < \ldots < a_k\}$ is a set of real numbers such that the differences of the consecutive elements are distinct, then for and finite $B \subset \mathbb{R}$, $$|A+B|\gg |A|^{1/2}|B|.$$ The bound is tight up to…

The Erd\H{o}s primitive set conjecture states that the sum $f(A) = \sum_{a\in A}\frac{1}{a\log a}$, ranging over any primitive set $A$ of positive integers, is maximized by the set of prime numbers. Recently Laib, Derbal, and Mechik proved…

Let $d\geq 2$ and $k\geq 1$ be fixed. We prove that, for every $\epsilon>0$ and every real $\beta$, there exist integers $1\leq b_1,\ldots,b_k\leq N$ such that \[ \left\|\sum_{j=1}^k b_j^{1/d}-\beta\right\| \ll_{d,k,\epsilon}…

Suppose that A is a set of n real numbers, each at least 1 apart. Define the ``perturbed sum and product sets'' S and P to be the sums a + b + f(a,b) and products (a+g(a,b))(b+h(a,b)), where f, g, and h satisfy certain upper bounds in terms…

Given a frequency $\lambda=(\lambda_n)$, we study when almost all vertical limits of a $\mathcal{H}_1$-Dirichlet series $\sum a_n e^{-\lambda_ns}$ are Riesz-summable almost everywhere on the imaginary axis. Equivalently, this means to…

Let $A, B\subseteq \mathbb{Z}$ be finite, nonempty subsets with $\min A=\min B=0$, and let $$\delta(A,B)={\begin{array}{ll} 1 & \hbox{if} A\subseteq B, 0 & \hbox{otherwise.} If $\max B\leq \max A\leq |A|+|B|-3$ and \label{one}|A+B|\leq…

Let $G$ be a $\sigma$-finite abelian group, i.e. $G=\bigcup_{n\geq 1} G_n$ where $(G_n)_{n\geq 1}$ is a non decreasing sequence of finite subgroups. For any $A\subset G$, let $\underline{\mathrm{d}}(A):=\liminf_{n\to\infty}\frac{|A\cap…

We prove that the problem of deciding the consequence relation of the full Lambek calculus with weakening is complete for the class HAck of hyper-Ackermannian problems (i.e., level F_{\omega}^{\omega} of the ordinal-indexed hierarchy of…

In the present article we study the following problem. Let G be a linear algebraic group over Q, $\Gamma$ be an arithmetic lattice and H be an observable Q-subgroup. There is a H-invariant measure $\mu_H$ supported on the closed submanifold…

Let ${\mathcal H}$ be a complex Hilbert space and let ${\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})$ be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on ${\mathcal H}$. For a positive integer $k$ less than the dimension of ${\mathcal H}$ and ${\mathbf A} =…

Let $\Sigma=\{a_1, \ldots , a_n\}$ be a set of positive integers with $a_1 < \ldots < a_n$ such that all $2^n$ subset sums are pairwise distinct. A famous conjecture of Erd\H{o}s states that $a_n>C\cdot 2^n$ for some constant $C$, while the…

Many problems in combinatorial linear algebra require upper bounds on the number of solutions to an underdetermined system of linear equations $Ax = b$, where the coordinates of the vector $x$ are restricted to take values in some small…

Consider a finite set of positive real numbers $S$. For any real number $\lambda > 1$, a Dyck word denoted $\langle\! \langle S \rangle\! \rangle_{\lambda} \in \{a,b\}^{\ast}$, was defined in [CaballeroWords2017] in order to compute…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group of order $n$, and for each $a\in G$ and integer $1\le h\le n$ let $\mathcal{F}_a(h)$ denote the family of all $h$-element subsets of $G$ whose sum is $a$. A problem posed by Katona and Makar-Limanov is to…

We provide a characterization of discrete sets $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}$ that admit a function whose $\Lambda$-translates are complete in the Hardy space $H^1(\mathbb{R})$. In particular, we show that such a set cannot be uniformly…
