The location of zeros of the basic double sum over the square lattice is studied. This sum can be represented in terms of the product of the Riemann zeta function and the Dirichlet beta function, so that the assertion that all its…

We consider the uniform asymptotic expansion for the Gauss hypergeometric function \[{}_2F_1(a+\epsilon\lambda,b;c+\lambda;x),\qquad 0<x<1\] as $\lambda\to+\infty$ in the neigbourhood of $\epsilon x=1$ when the parameter $\epsilon>1$ and…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. We show that as $X \rightarrow \infty$, $$ \int_{X}^{2X} \sup_{\alpha} \left | \sum_{x < n \leq x + H} \lambda(n) e(-\alpha n) \right | dx = o ( X H) $$ for all $H \geq X^{\theta}$ with $\theta >…

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…

We show that there is a positive constant $c_0$ such that \[\sum_{n\le x}\mu^2(n^2+1)c_0x+O_{\varepsilon}(x^{7/12+\varepsilon})\] for any fixed $\varepsilon>0$. This improves a result of Estermann [3] from 1931, in which the error term had…

In this paper we study correlation measures introduced in \cite{emme_asymptotic_2017}. Denote by $\mu_a(d)$ the asymptotic density of the set $\mathcal{E}_{a,d}=\{n \in \mathbb{N}, \ s_2(n+a)-s_2(n)=d\}$ (where $s_2$ is the sum-of-digits…

The binary sum-of-digits function $s$ counts the number of ones in the binary expansion of a nonnegative integer. For any nonnegative integer $t$, T.~W.~Cusick defined the asymptotic density $c_t$ of integers $n\geq 0$ such that…

Given a rational number $x$ and a bound $\varepsilon$, we exhibit $m,n$ such that $|x-12 s(m,n)|<\varepsilon$. Here $s(m,n)$ is the classical Dedekind sum and the parameters $m$ and $n$ are completely explicit in terms of $x$ and…

Let $d(n)$ be the number of divisors of $n$, let $$ \Delta(x) := \sum_{n\le x}d(n) - x(\log x + 2\gamma -1) $$ denote the error term in the classical Dirichlet divisor problem, and let $\zeta(s)$ denote the Riemann zeta-function. Several…

We provide examples of multiplicative functions $f$ supported on the squarefree integers, such that on primes $f(p)=\pm1$ and such that $M_f(x):=\sum_{n\leq x} f(n)=o(\sqrt{x})$. Further, by assuming the Riemann hypothesis (RH) we can go…

We study the sum of divisors of the quadratic form $m_1^2+m_2^2+m_3^2$. Let $$S_3(X)=\sum_{1\le m_1,m_2,m_3\le X}\tau(m_1^2+m_2^2+m_3^2).$$ We obtain the asymptotic formula $$S_3(X)=C_1X^3\log X+ C_2X^3+O(X^2\log^7 X),$$ where $C_1,C_2$ are…

In this paper we solve a selection problem for multidimensional SDE $d X^\varepsilon(t)=a(X^\varepsilon(t)) d t+\varepsilon \sigma(X^\varepsilon(t))\, d W(t)$, where the drift and diffusion are locally Lipschitz continuous outside of a…

An elementary recursive relation for M$\ddot{\mathrm{o}}$bius function $\mu (n)$ is introduced by two simple ways. With this recursive relation, $\mu (n)$ can be calculated without directly knowing the factorization of the $n$. $\mu (1)…

In this paper we study the following nonlinear Maxwell's equations \\ $\varepsilon \E_{t}+\sigma(x,|\E|)\E= \g \vh +\F,\, \vh_{t}+\g \E=0$, where $\sigma(x,s)$ is a monotone graph of $s$. It is shown that the system has a unique weak…

In this paper, we study the sum of additive characters over finite fields, with a focus on those of specified \(\mathbb{F}_q\)-Order. We establish a general formula for these character sums, providing an additive analogue to classical…

We obtain asymptotic formulas for the $2k$th moments of partially smoothed divisor sums of the M\"obius function. When $2k$ is small compared with $A$, the level of smoothing, then the main contribution to the moments come from integers…

In the study of order estimation of the Riemann zeta-function $ \zeta(s) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty n^{-s} $, solving Lindel\"{o}f hypothesis is an important theme. As one of the relationships, asymptotic behavior of mean values has been studied.…

In our previous work we introduced, for a Riemannian surface $S$, the quantity $ \Lambda(S):=\inf_F\lambda_0(F)$, where $\lambda_0(F)$ denotes the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of $F$ and the infimum is taken over all compact subsurfaces $F$…

The Dirichlet lambda function $\lambda(s)$ is defined for $\mathrm{Re}(s) > 1$ by \[ \lambda(s) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{(2n+1)^s}. \] This function was initially studied by Euler on the real line, where he denoted it by $N(s)$. In…
