A systematic study of $\frac{\partial F_2(x,Q^2)}{\partial \ln Q^2}$ and $\frac{\partial \ln F_2(x,Q^2)}{\partial \ln (1/x)}$ is carried out in pQCD taking screening corrections into account. The result of calculations, which are different…
In this letter we show that the behaviour of $F_{2}$, at very small $x_B$, agrees with the behaviour expected from the BFKL evolution equation, when screening corrections are included. We obtain a description which is consistent with the…
Recent HERA low $Q^2$ data show that the logarithmic slope of the protonstructure function ($\frac{\partial F_2}{\partial \ln Q^2}$) is significantly different from perturbative QCD expectations for smallvalues of $Q^2$ at exeedingly small…
The HERA data on the proton structure function, $F_2(x,Q^2)$, at very small $x$ and $Q^2$ show the dramatic departure of the logarithmic slope, $\partial F_2/\partial\log Q^2$, from theoretical predictions based on the DGLAP evolution. We…
Evolution equations for multiplicities in QCD cascades can, both in the parton and dipole picture, be used to estimate corrections beyond the formal accuracy of the modified leading log approximation (MLLA). The differences between the two…
We analyze the second order QCD corrections to the fragmentation functions F_^H_k(x,Q^2) (k=T,L,A) which are measured in e^+~e^- annihilation From these fragmentation functions one can derive the integrated transverse (sigma_T),…
We perform a numerical study of the QCD corrections to the structure function $F_L(x,Q^2)$ in the HERA energy range. The $K$--factors are of $O(30%)$ and larger in parts of the kinematic range. The relative corrections to…

I explicitly calculate the anomalous dimensions and splitting functions governing the Q^2 evolution of the parton densities and structure functions which result from the running coupling BFKL equation at LO, i.e. I perform a resummation in…
QCD corrections to the QED formula for parton distribution functions of the longitudinal virtual photon are derived in the leading--logarithmic approximation. It is shown that the resulting PDF satisfy the same homogeneous evolution…
We present the calculation of the order $\alpha_s^2$ corrections to the coefficient functions contributing to the longitudinal ($F_L(x,Q^2)$) and transverse fragmentation functions ($F_T(x,Q^2)$) measured in electron-positron annihilation.…
The screened QED corrections to the g factor of Li-like ions are evaluated utilizing an effective potential approach. The evaluation is performed within the range of nuclear charge numbers Z=32-92. The results obtained serve for improving…
The parton content of the electron is analyzed within perturbative QCD. It is shown that electron acquires an anomalous component from QCD, analogously to photon. The evolution equations for the `exclusive' and `inclusive' electron…
We critically examine the QCD predictions for the $Q^2$ dependence of the electron-proton deep-inelastic structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$ in the small $x$ region, which is being probed at HERA. The standard results based on next-to-leading…
We estimate the deviation of the number of solutions of the congruence $$ m^2-n^2 \equiv c \pmod q, \qquad 1 \le m \le M, \ 1\le n \le N, $$ from its expected value on average over $c=1, ..., q$. This estimate is motivated by the recently…
Conformal prediction is often calibrated with a single pooled threshold, but this can hide cross-group heterogeneity in score distributions and distort group-wise coverage. We study this phenomenon through the population score distributions…
Consider the representation of a rational number as a continued fraction, associated with "odd" Euclidean algorithm. In this paper we prove certain properties for the limit distribution function for sequences of rationals with bounded sum…
A method is demonstrated for representing the false discovery rate (FDR) in a set of p-values on a quantile-quantile (Q-Q) plot of the p-values. Recognition of this connection between the FDR and the Q-Q plot facilitates both understanding…
We discuss the combined effect of QED and QCD corrections to the evolution of parton distributions. We extend the available knowledge of the Altarelli-Parisi splitting functions to one order higher in QED, and provide explicit expressions…
