We apply the theory of Lie symmetries in order to study a fourth-order $1+2$ evolutionary partial differential equation which has been proposed for the image processing noise reduction. In particular we determine the Lie point symmetries…

For each integer $b \geq 3$ and every $x \geq 1$, let $\mathcal{N}_{b,0}(x)$ be the set of positive integers $n \leq x$ which are divisible by the product of their nonzero base $b$ digits. We prove bounds of the form $x^{\rho_{b,0} + o(1)}…

We embark on a systematic study of the $(k+1)$-th derivative of $x^{k-r}H(x^r)$, where $H(x):=-x\log x-(1-x)\log(1-x)$ is the binary entropy and $k>r\geq 1$ are integers. Our motivation is the conjectural entropy inequality $\alpha_k…

We consider several old problems involving the number of prime divisors function $\omega(n)$, as well as the related functions $\Omega(n)$ and $\tau(n)$. Firstly, we show that there are infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that…

We prove mod-Gaussian convergence for a Dirichlet polynomial which approximates $\operatorname{Im}\log\zeta(1/2+it)$. This Dirichlet polynomial is sufficiently long to deduce Selberg's central limit theorem with an explicit error term.…

Let $t(N)$ denote the largest number such that $N!$ can be expressed as the product of $N$ integers greater than or equal to $t(N)$. The bound $t(N)/N = 1/e-o(1)$ was apparently established in unpublished work of Erd\H{o}s, Selfridge, and…

In this paper, we develop a novel analytic method to prove the prime number theorem in de la Vall\'ee Poussin's form: $$ \pi(x)=\operatorname{li}(x)+\mathcal O(xe^{-c\sqrt{\log x}}) $$ Instead of performing asymptotic expansion on Chebyshev…

We have proved in this paper that natural logarithm of consecutive number ratio, x/(x-1) approximates to 2/(2x - 1) where x is a real number except 1. Using this relation, we, then proved, x approximates to double the sum of odd harmonic…

The classical theorem of Birkhoff states that the $T^N f(x) = (1/N)\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} f(\sigma^k x)$ converges almost everywhere for $x\in X$ and $f\in L^{1}(X)$, where $\sigma$ is a measure preserving transformation of a probability measure…

Let $p_n$ denotes the $n$-th prime. We prove that $$\max_{p_{n+1} \leq X} (p_{n+1}-p_n) \gg \frac{\log X \log \log X\log\log\log\log X}{\log \log \log X}$$ for sufficiently large $X$, improving upon recent bounds of the first three and…

In this note we show that the Taylor series of a function in a weighted Dirichlet space is (generalized) N\"orlund summable, provided that the sequence determining the N\"orlund operator is non-decreasing and has finite upper growth rate.…

The results of Koml\'{o}s, Major and Tusn\'{a}dy give optimal Wiener approximation of partial sums of i.i.d. random variables and provide an extremely powerful tool in probability and statistical inference. Recently Wu [Ann. Probab. 35…

In this paper analyzes \textit{The Erd\H{o}s-Straus conjecture} asserts that $f$$(n)$ $>$ 0 for every $n$ $\geq$ 2, where $f(n)$ indicates the number of solutions to the Diophantine Equation…

Let $\mathbf{P} \subset [H_0,H]$ be a set of primes, where $\log H_0 \geq (\log H)^{2/3 + \epsilon}$. Let $\mathscr{L} = \sum_{p \in \mathbf{P}} 1/p$. Let $N$ be such that $\log H \leq (\log N)^{1/2-\epsilon}$. We show there exists a subset…

Writing for a general mathematical audience, we provide elementary upper and lower bounds on the growth (as a function of N) of the sum \sum_{n=1}^N (-1)^{\floor{n x}} for various fixed x. For example, if x is a quadratic irrational, then…

In this paper we study a family of polynomials $$S_n^{(m)}(x):=\sum_{i,j=0}^n\binom ni^m\binom nj^m\binom{i+j}ix^{i+j}\ \ (m,n=0,1,2,\ldots).$$ For example, we show that $$\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}S_k^{(0)}(x)\equiv\frac…

The simplex method for linear programming is known to be highly efficient in practice, and understanding its performance from a theoretical perspective is an active research topic. The framework of smoothed analysis, first introduced by…

We use the Petrow-Young [10] subconvexity bound for Dirichlet $L$-functions to show that $d_4(n)$ has exponent of distribution $4/7$ when we allow an average over $a$ mod $q$, thereby giving an equidistribution result for $d_4(n)$ which…

We give an asymptotic formula for the divisor sum $\sum_{c<n\leq N}\tau\left((n-b)(n-c)\right)$ for integers $b<c$ of the same parity. Interestingly, the coefficient of the main term does not depend on the discriminant as long as it is a…

Consider the first-order linear differential equation with several retarded arguments $$ x^{\prime}(t)+\sum\limits_{i=1}^{m}p_{i}(t)x(\tau_{i}(t))=0,\;\;\;t\geq t_{0}, $$ where the functions $p_{i},\tau_{i}\in…
