We study Boolean functions of an arbitrary number of input variables that can be realized by simple iterative constructions based on constant-size primitives. This restricted type of construction needs little global coordination or control…

Let $f$ be a positive multiplicative function and let $k\geq 2$ be an integer. We prove that if the prime values $f(p)$ converge to $1$ sufficiently slowly as $p\rightarrow +\infty$, in the sense that $\sum_{p}|f(p)-1|=\infty$, there exists…

I. J. Good (1941) showed that the set of irrational numbers in $(0,1)$ whose partial quotients $a_n$ tend to infinity is of Hausdorff dimension $1/2$. A number of related results impose restrictions of the type $a_n\in B$ or $a_n\geq f(n)$,…

For a fixed positive integer $n$ consider continuous functions $ K_1,\dots$, $ K_n:[-1,1]\to \mathbb{R}\cup\{-\infty\}$ that are concave and real valued on $[-1,0)$ and on $(0,1]$, and satisfy $K_j(0)=-\infty$. Moreover, let $J:[0,1]\to…

Given a (known) function $f:[0,1] \to (0,1)$, we consider the problem of simulating a coin with probability of heads $f(p)$ by tossing a coin with unknown heads probability $p$, as well as a fair coin, $N$ times each, where $N$ may be…

We mainly establish a monotonicity property between some special Riemann sums of a convex function $f$ on $[a,b]$, which in particular yields that $\frac{b-a}{n+1}\sum_{i=0}^n f\left(a+i\frac{b-a}{n}\right)$ is decreasing while…

Consider a_1,a_2,...,a_n, arbitrary elements of R. We characterize those real functions f that decompose into the sum of a_j-periodic functions, i.e., f=f_1+...+f_n with D_{a_j}f(x):=f(x+a_j)-f(x)=0. We show that f has such a decomposition…

Building upon previous works of Andr{\'e} and Chudnovsky, we prove a general result concerning the approximations of values at rational points a/b of any G-function F with rational Taylor coefficients by fractions of the form n/(B…

For $0< \rho < 1/3$ and $\rho \le \lambda \le 1-2\rho$, let $E$ be the self-similar set generated by the iterated function system $$\Phi = \big\{ \varphi_1(x) = \rho x ,\; \varphi_2(x) = \rho x + \lambda, \; \varphi_3(x) = \rho x + 1- \rho…

Given a function f: [a,b] -> R, if f(a) < 0 and f(b)> 0 and f is continuous, the Intermediate Value Theorem implies that f has a root in [a,b]. Moreover, given a value-oracle for f, an approximate root of f can be computed using the…

Let $A$ and $B$ be almost commuting (i.e, $AB-BA\in\bS_1$) self-adjoint operators. We construct a functional calculus $\f\mapsto\f(A,B)$ for $\f$ in the Besov class $B_{\be,1}^1(\R^2)$. This functional calculus is linear, the operators…

For fixed natural numbers $r$ and $s$, where $2\leq s \leq r$, we consider a representation of numbers from the interval $[0;\frac{r}{s-1}]$ obtained by encoding numbers by means of the alphabet $A=\{0,1,...,r\}$ via the expansion…

We prove that the degenerate trilinear operator $C_3^{-1,1,1}$ given by the formula \begin{eqnarray*} C_3^{-1,1,1}(f_1, f_2, f_3)(x)=\int_{x_1 < x_2 < x_3} \hat{f_1}(x_1) \hat{f_2}(x_2) \hat{f_3}(x_3) e^{2\pi i x (-x_1 + x_2 + x_3)}…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a unital $\mathbf{C}^*$-algebra with unit $e$. We develop several inequalities for a positive linear functional $f$ on $\mathcal{A}$ and obtain several bounds for the numerical radius $v(a)$ of an element $a\in…

We introduce a simple sieve-theoretic approach to studying partial sums of multiplicative functions which are close to their mean value. This enables us to obtain various new results as well as strengthen existing results with new proofs.…

Let $K$ be a function field of a curve in characteristic zero or a number field over which the $abc$-conjecture holds, fix $\alpha\in K$, and let $f_{d,c}(x)=x^d+c$ for some $d\geq2$ and some $c\in K$. Then for many $c$ and $d$, we prove…

For a sequence of continuous, monotone functions $f_1,\dots,f_n \colon I \to \mathbb{R}$ ($I$ is an interval) we define the mapping $M \colon I^n \to I^n$ as a Cartesian product of quasi-arithmetic means generated by $f_j$-s. It is known…

If $Au=-div(a(x,Du))$ is a monotone operator defined on the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(R^n)$, $1<p<+\infty$, with $a(x,0)=0$ for a.e. $x\in R^n$, the capacity $C_A(E,F)$ relative to $A$ can be defined for every pair $(E,F)$ of bounded sets in…

We prove a strong simultaneous Diophantine approximation theorem for values of additive and multiplicative functions provided that the functions have certain regularity on the primes.

In this paper, we study inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation with rational numbers of reduced form. The central object to study is the set $W(f,\theta)$ as follows, \begin{eqnarray*} \left\{x\in [0,1]:\left…
