In this paper, we improve the usual relative error bound for the computation of x^n through iterated multiplications by x in binary floating-point arithmetic. The obtained error bound is only slightly better than the usual one, but it is…

Fix a field $k$. When $\Delta$ is a simplicial complex on $n$ vertices with Stanley-Reisner ideal $I_\Delta$, we define and study an invariant called the $\textit{type defect}$ of $\Delta$. Except when $\Delta$ is of a single simplex, the…

In a compound decision problem, consisting of $n$ statistically independent copies of the same problem to be solved under the sum of the individual losses, any reasonable compound decision rule $\delta$ satisfies a natural symmetry…

An improved estimate is given for $|\theta(x) -x|$, where $\theta(x) = \sum_{p\leq x} \log p$. Three applications are given: the first to arithmetic progressions that have points in common, the second to primes in short intervals, and the…

Define $r_4(N)$ to be the largest cardinality of a set $A$ in $\{1,\dots,N\}$ which does not contain four elements in arithmetic progression. In 1998 Gowers proved that $r_4(N) \ll N(\log \log N)^{-c}$ for some absolute constant $c> 0$. In…

For an irrational real $\alpha$ and $\gamma\not \in \mathbb Z + \mathbb Z\alpha$ it is well known that $$ \liminf_{|n|\rightarrow \infty} |n| ||n\alpha -\gamma || \leq \frac{1}{4}. $$ If the partial quotients, $a_i,$ in the negative…

Let $\varepsilon >0$. Let $f$ be a Steinhaus or Rademacher random multiplicative function. We prove that we have almost surely, as $x \to +\infty$, $$ \sum_{n \leqslant x} f(n) \ll \sqrt{x} (\log_2 x)^{\frac{3}{4}+ \varepsilon}. $$

Let $X$ be a centered random vector taking values in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and let $\Sigma= \mathbb{E}(X\otimes X)$ be its covariance matrix. We show that if $X$ satisfies an $L_4-L_2$ norm equivalence, there is a covariance estimator…

This paper is concerned with the rank constrained optimization problem whose feasible set is the intersection of the rank constraint set $\mathcal{R}=\!\big\{X\in\mathbb{X}\ |\ {\rm rank}(X)\le \kappa\big\}$ and a closed convex set…

The main task of this work is to give an improvement for the upper bounds of the Laplace transform $$\int_0^{+\infty}\Bigl|\zeta\left(\frac{1}{2}+it\right)\Bigr|^{2\beta}e^{-\delta t}dt \ll_{\beta,\varepsilon}…

In this note we establish a uniform bound for the distribution of a sum $S_n=X_1+\cdots+X_n$ of independent non-homogeneous Bernoulli trials. Specifically, we prove that $\sigma_n \mathbb{P}(S_n\!=\!j)\leq\eta$ where $\sigma_n$ denotes the…

This paper develops a quantitative version of de Jong's central limit theorem for homogeneous sums in a high-dimensional setting. More precisely, under appropriate moment assumptions, we establish an upper bound for the Kolmogorov distance…

Randomized approximation algorithms for many #P-complete problems (such as the partition function of a Gibbs distribution, the volume of a convex body, the permanent of a $\{0,1\}$-matrix, and many others) reduce to creating random…

Let $\Delta(x)$ and $E(x)$ be error terms of the sum of divisor function and the mean square of the Riemann zeta function, respectively. In this paper their fourth power moments for short intervals of Jutila's type are considered. We get an…

Let $R_k(x)$ denote the error incurred by approximating the number of $k$-free integers less than $x$ by $x/\zeta(k)$. It is well known that $R_k(x)=\Omega(x^{\frac{1}{2k}})$, and widely conjectured that…

Let $d \geq 4$ be a natural number and let $A$ be a finite, non-empty subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ such that $A$ is not contained in a translate of a hyperplane. In this setting, we show that \[ |A-A| \geq \bigg(2d - 2 + \frac{1}{d-1} \bigg)…

In his Classical approximation to the Twin prime problem, Selberg proved that for $x$ sufficiently large, there is an $n \in (x,2x)$ such that $2^{\Omega(n)}+2^{\Omega(n+2)} \leq \lambda$ with $\lambda=14$, where $\Omega(n)$ is the number…

We consider radially symmetric solutions for a class of resonant problems on a unit ball $B \subset R^n$ around the origin \[ \Delta u+\la _1 u +g(u)=f(r) \s \mbox{for $x \in B$}, \s u=0 \s \mbox{on $\partial B$} \,. \] Here the function…

Let $\Omega_1, \ldots, \Omega_m$ be probability spaces, let $\Omega=\Omega_1 \times \cdots \times \Omega_m$ be their product and let $A_1, \ldots, A_n \subset \Omega$ be events. Suppose that each event $A_i$ depends on $r_i$ coordinates of…

In this paper, we present convergence theorems for numerical solutions of the incompressible Euler equations. The first result is the Lax-Wendroff-type theorem, while the second can be formulated in the framework of the Lax equivalence…
