Symmetry is a cornerstone of much of mathematics, and many probability distributions possess symmetries characterized by their invariance to a collection of group actions. Thus, many mathematical and statistical methods rely on such…

Carnevale and Voll conjectured that j (--1) j $\lambda$ 1 j $\lambda$ 2 j = 0 when $\lambda$ 1 and $\lambda$ 2 are two distinct integers. We check the conjecture when either $\lambda$ 2 or $\lambda$ 1 -- $\lambda$ 2 is small. We investigate…

In a 1916 paper, Ramanujan studied the additive convolution $S_{a, b}(n)$ of sum-of-divisors functions $\sigma_a(n)$ and $\sigma_b(n)$, and proved an asymptotic formula for it when $a$ and $b$ are positive odd integers. He also conjectured…

We establish asymptotic estimates of Mathieu-type series defined by sequences with power-logarithmic or factorial behavior. By taking the Mellin transform, the problem is mapped to the singular behavior of certain Dirichlet series, which is…

We obtain asymptotic for the quantity $\int_0^1 \bigg|\sum_{n\le X}\tau_k(n)e(n\alpha)\bigg|d\alpha$ where $\tau_k(n) = \sum_{d_1\dots d_k = n} 1$. This follows from a quick application of the circle method. Along the way, we find minor arc…

Let $a_1,a_2,\dots,a_k$ be positive integers with $\gcd(a_1,a_2,\dots,a_k)=1$. The concept of the weighted sum $\sum_{n\in{\rm NR}}\lambda^{n}$ is introduced in \cite{KZ0,KZ}, where ${\rm NR}={\rm NR}(a_1,a_2,\dots,a_k)$ denotes the set of…

This paper deals with differential equations of the form $$ \tau(y)- \lambda ^{2m} \varrho(x) y = 0, \quad \tau(y) =\sum_{k,\,s=0}^m(\tau_{k,\,s}(x)y^{(m-k)}(x))^{(m-s)}, $$ where $n=2m\geqslant 2$, $\lambda$ is the large complex parameter,…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a non-normal algebraic number field of cubic degree given by the polynomial $x^{3}+ax^{2}+bx+c$ of discriminant $D_{\mathbb{K}}<0$. For sufficiently large $x$, we establish an asymptotic formula for the hybrid sum…

We study the variance of sums of the $k$-fold divisor function $d_k(n)$ over sparse arithmetic progressions, with averaging over both residue classes and moduli. In a restricted range, we confirm an averaged version of a recent conjecture…

We derive asymptotic formulae for the coefficients of bivariate generating functions with algebraic and logarithmic factors. Logarithms appear when encoding cycles of combinatorial objects, and also implicitly when objects can be broken…

We show that the expected asymptotic for the sums $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} \Lambda(n) \Lambda(n+h)$, $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} d_k(n) d_l(n+h)$, and $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} \Lambda(n) d_k(n+h)$ hold for almost all $h \in [-H,H]$, provided that…

Using a variational approach, two new series representations for the incomplete Gamma function are derived: the first is an asymptotic series, which contains and improves over the standard asymptotic expansion; the second is a uniformly…

We study maximum-likelihood-type estimation for diffusion processes when the coefficients are nonrandom and observation occurs in nonsynchronous manner. The problem of nonsynchronous observations is important when we consider the analysis…

A semiprime is a natural number which can be written as the product of two primes. The asymptotic behaviour of the function $\pi_2(x)$, the number of semiprimes less than or equal to $x$, is studied. Using a combinatorial argument,…

Let $r_{k}(n)$ denote the number of representations of the integer $n$ as a sum of $k$ squares. In this paper, we give an asymptotic for $r_{k}(n)$ when $n$ grows linearly with $k$. As a special case, we find that \[ r_{n}(n) \sim \frac{B…

We propose a new method for obtaining complete asymptotic expansions in a systematic manner, which is suitable for counting sequences of various graph families in dense regime. The core idea is to encode the two-dimensional array of…

We establish asymptotic formulas for sums of reciprocals of primes in arithmetic progressions, generalizing recent results on multiple Mertens evaluations by Tenenbaum, Qi, and Hu. Specifically, for any fixed constant $K>0$, we derive…

Let $k\ge 2$ be an integer and let $A$ be a set of nonnegative integers. The representation function $R_{A,k}(n)$ for the set $A$ is the number of representations of a nonnegative integer $n$ as the sum of $k$ terms from $A$. Let $A(n)$…

The paper proves a generalization of Wintner's theorem on the asymptotics of summation functions to the case of summation functions with nonlinear asymptotics. The class of arithmetic functions that have a logarithmic asymptotic mean is…
