In this note, we give the explicit formula for the number of multisubsets of a finite abelian group $G$ with any given size such that the sum is equal to a given element $g\in G$. This also gives the number of partitions of $g$ into a given…
The Menon-Sury's identity is as follows: \begin{equation*} \sum_{\substack{1 \leq a, b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_r \leq n\\\mathrm{gcd}(a,n)=1}} \mathrm{gcd}(a-1,b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_r,n)=\varphi(n) \sigma_r(n), \end{equation*} where $\varphi$ is…
We propose a greedy variational method for decomposing a non-negative multivariate signal as a weighted sum of Gaussians, which, borrowing the terminology from statistics, we refer to as a Gaussian mixture model. Notably, our method has the…
We formulate some refinements of Goldbach's conjectures based on heuristic arguments and numerical data. For instance, any even number greater than 4 is conjectured to be a sum of two primes with one prime being 3 mod 4. In general, for…
We study the multiplicity of positive solutions for a two-point boundary value problem associated to the nonlinear second order equation $u''+f(x,u)=0$. We allow $x \mapsto f(x,s)$ to change its sign in order to cover the case of scalar…
We prove a general independent equidistribution result for Gauss sums associated to $n$ monomials in $r$ variable multiplicative characters over a finite field, which generalizes several previous equidistribution results for Gauss and…
We prove new results on the additive theory of reversed primes $\overleftarrow{p}$; that is, primes $p$ which are written backwards in a fixed base $b\geq 2$. In particular, we study a variant of Goldbach's conjecture, looking at…
A multivariate Gauss-Lucas theorem is proved, sharpening and generalizing previous results on this topic. The theorem is stated in terms of a seemingly new notion of convexity. Applications to multivariate stable polynomials are given.
The ternary Goldbach conjecture, or three-primes problem, states that every odd number $n$ greater than $5$ can be written as the sum of three primes. The conjecture, posed in 1742, remained unsolved until now, in spite of great progress in…
We prove a new bound to the exponential sum of the form $$ \sum_{h \sim H}\delta_h \mathop{\sum_{m\sim M}\sum_{n\sim N}}_{mn\sim x}a_{m}b_{n}\e\big(\alpha mn + h(mn + u)^{\gamma}\big), $$ by a new approach to the Type I sum. The sum can be…
We prove new upper bounds for the number of representations of an arbitrary rational number as a sum of three unit fractions. In particular, for fixed $m$ there are at most $\mathcal{O}_{\epsilon}(n^{3/5+\epsilon})$ solutions of…
We study the Goldbach problem for primes represented by the polynomial $x^2+y^2+1$. The set of such primes is sparse in the set of all primes, but the infinitude of such primes was established by Linnik. We prove that almost all even…
Let $A(s) = \sum_n a_n n^{-s}$ be a Dirichlet series admitting meromorphic continuation to the complex plane. Assume we know the location of the poles of $A(s)$ with $|\Im s| \leq T$, and their residues, for some large constant $T$. It is…
In this paper I introduce a model which allows one to prove Goldbachs hypothesis. The model is produced by studying Goldbach partitions as displayed by an inverted mirror image of all the primes up to some even number equal to the last…
This work is motivated by the long-standing open problem of designing asymptotically order-optimal aperiodic polyphase sequence sets with respect to the celebrated Welch bound. Attempts were made by Mow over 30 years ago, but a…
A multigraph G is said to be an (s,q)-graph if every s-set of vertices in G supports at most q edges (counting multiplicities). In this paper we consider the maximal sum and product of edge multiplicities in an (s,q)-graph on n vertices.…
We prove upper bounds for the Hilbert-Samuel multiplicity of standard graded Gorenstein algebras. The main tool that we use is Boij-S\"oderberg theory to obtain a decomposition of the Betti table of a Gorenstein algebra as the sum of…
An effective upper bound is established for the least non-trivial integer solution to the system of cubic forms \[ \begin{cases} F = c_{1}x_1^3 + c_{2}x_2^3 + \cdots + c_{n}x_n^3 = 0, \\ G = d_{1}x_1^3 + d_{2}x_2^3 + \cdots + d_{n}x_n^3 =…
We give a new expression of the multiple harmonic sum, which serves as a refinement of the iterated integral expression of the multiple zeta value, and prove it using the so-called connected sum method. Based on this fact, by taking two…
Given a group $G$, we say that a set $A \subseteq G$ has more sums than differences (MSTD) if $|A+A| > |A-A|$, has more differences than sums (MDTS) if $|A+A| < |A-A|$, or is sum-difference balanced if $|A+A| = |A-A|$. A problem of recent…
