In this paper, we shall establish a rather general asymptotic formula in short intervals for a classe of arithmetic functions and announce two applications about the distribution of divisors of square-full numbers and integers representable…
We consider the motion of a particle on a surface which is a small perturbation of the standard sphere. One may qualitatively describe the motion by means of a precessing great circle of the sphere. The observation is employed to derive a…

Let N(n, t) be the minimal number of points in a spherical t-design on the unit sphere S^n in R^{n+1}. For each n >= 3, we prove a new asymptotic upper bound N(n, t) <= C(n)t^{a_n}, where C(n) is a constant depending only on n, a_3 <= 4,…

A spherical $t$-design is a finite subset $X$ of the unit sphere such that every polynomial of degree at most $t$ has the same average over $X$ as it does over the entire sphere. Determining the minimum possible size of spherical designs,…

Let $k\ge 2$ be a fixed integer. We consider sums of type $\sum_{n_1^2+\cdots+ n_k^2\le x} F(n_1,\ldots,n_k)$, taken over the $k$-dimensional spherical region $\{(n_1,\ldots,n_k)\in {\Bbb Z}^k: n_1^2+\cdots+ n_k^2\le x\}$, where $F:{\Bbb…
In Euclidean space condensers with variable potential levels and the presence of a free part at the boundary are studied. The asymptotic formula of the modulus of such condenser is obtained when the plates are pulled into points. The…
We begin by studying the surface area of an ellipsoid in n-dimensional Euclidean space as the function of the lengths of the semi-axes. We write down an explicit formula as an integral over the unit sphere in n-dimensions and use this…
We consider the Neumann version of the spherical mean value operator and its variants in the space of smooth functions, distributions and compactly supported ones. Surjectivity and range characterization issues are addressed from the…

Spherical symmetry arguments are used to produce a general device to convert identities and inequalities for the $p$th absolute moments of real-valued random variables into the corresponding identities and inequalities for the $p$th moments…
Given an m-dimensional compact submanifold $\mathbf{M}$ of Euclidean space $\mathbf{R}^s$, the concept of mean location of a distribution, related to mean or expected vector, is generalized to more general $\mathbf{R}^s$-valued functionals…
It was shown by E. Gluskin and V.D. Milman in [GAFA Lecture Notes in Math. 1807, 2003] that the classical arithmetic-geometric mean inequality can be reversed (up to a multiplicative constant) with high probability, when applied to…
We propose a formula for finding the horizontal, oblique or curvilinear asymptote of any rational polynomial function of any positive degree, as a sum of matrix determinants formed directly from the coefficients of the terms in the given…
