Let $\varphi$ be the H\"ormander--Bernhardsson extremal function, and let $(\pm\tau_n)_{n\ge1}$ be its real zeros. Using the recent analytic description of the zero set ${\tau_n}$, we prove that the squared zeros $\lambda_n=\tau_n^{2}$ form…

We prove a general statement about the integrality of the sequences generated by a recursion of the following form: $nu_n$ equals a linear combination of $u_{n-1},u_{n-2},\dots,u_0$ with polynomial coefficients in $n$ of special form. This…

Brlek and Reutenauer conjectured that any infinite word u with language closed under reversal satisfies the equality 2D(u) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}T_u(n) in which D(u) denotes the defect of u and T_u(n) denotes C_u(n+1)-C_u(n) +2 - P_U(n+1) -…

Brlek and Reutenauer conjectured that any infinite word u with language closed under reversal satisfies the equality 2D(u)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} T(n) in which D(u) denotes the defect of u and T(n) denotes C(n+1)-C(n)+2-P(n+1)-P(n), where C…

The orthorecursive expansion of unity with respect to the system $\{x, x^2, x^3, \ldots\}$ in $L^2([0,1])$ produces a sequence of rational coefficients $(c_n)$ defined by an explicit recurrence. Kalmynin and Kosenko established the bounds…

Let $\lambda_{\phi}(n)$ be the Fourier coefficients of a Hecke holomorphic or Hecke--Maass cusp form on ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$, and $f$ be any multiplicative function that satisfies two mild hypotheses. We establish a non-trivial upper…

In this paper, we show that if we have a sequence of Hadamard triples $\{(N_n,B_n,L_n)\}$ with $B_n\subset \{0,1,..,N_n-1\}$ for $n=1,2,...$, except an extreme case, then the associated Cantor-Moran measure $$ \begin{aligned} \mu =…

Let $(X,T,\mu,d)$ be a metric measure-preserving system for which $3$-fold correlations decay exponentially for Lipschitz continuous observables. Suppose that $(M_k)$ is a sequence satisfying some weak decay conditions and suppose there…

We study the asymptotic expansion for the Landau constants $G_n$, \begin{equation*} \pi G_{n}\sim \ln(16N)+\gamma+\sum^{\infty}_{k=1}\frac{\alpha_k}{N^k} ~~\mbox{as} ~ n\rightarrow\infty, \end{equation*} where $N=n+1$, and $\gamma$ is…

Every classical orthogonal polynomial system $p_n(x)$ satisfies a three-term recurrence relation of the type \[ p_{n+1}(x)=(A_nx+B_n)p_n(x)-C_np_{n-1}(x)~ (n=0,1,2,\ldots, p_{-1}\equiv 0), \] with $C_nA_nA_{n-1}>0$. Moreover, Favard's…

A closed-form formula is derived for the generalized Clebsch-Gordan integral $ \int_{-1}^1 {[}P_{\nu}(x){]}^2P_{\nu}(-x)\D x$, with $ P_\nu$ being the Legendre function of arbitrary complex degree $ \nu\in\mathbb C$. The finite Hilbert…

We use the recent findings of Cohl [arXiv:1105.2735] and evaluate two integrals involving the Gegenbauer polynomials: $\int_{-1}^{x}\mathrm{d}t\:(1-t^{2})^{\lambda-1/2}(x-t)^{-\kappa-1/2}C_{n}^{\lambda}(t)$ and…

Persson and Strang (2003) evaluated the integral over [-1,1] of a squared odd degree Legendre polynomial divided by x^2 as being equal to 2. We consider a similar integral for orthogonal polynomials with respect to a general even…

We show that certain monotone functionals on the Hardy spaces and convex functionals on the Bergman spaces are maximized at the normalized reproducing kernels among the functions of norm $1$, thus proving the contractivity conjecture of…

We give a proof of the Universality Conjecture for orthogonal (beta=1) and symplectic (beta=4) random matrix ensembles of Laguerre-type in the bulk of the spectrum as well as at the hard and soft spectral edges. Our results are stated…

We study a version of the Vitali covering theorem, which we call $\textsf{WHBU}$ and which is a direct weakening of the Heine-Borel theorem for uncountable coverings, called $\textsf{HBU}$. We show that $\textsf{WHBU}$ is central to measure…

We study the function $\varphi_1$ of minimal $L^1$ norm among all functions $f$ of exponential type at most $\pi$ for which $f(0)=1$. This function, first studied by H\"{o}rmander and Bernhardsson in 1993, has only real zeros $\pm \tau_n$,…

Let $A$ be a complex square matrix, and write its polar decomposition as $A=U|A|$. For $0<\lambda<1$, the $\lambda$-Aluthge transform of $A$ is defined by $$ \Delta_\lambda(A)=|A|^\lambda U|A|^{1-\lambda}. $$ In 2007, Huang and Tam…
