We study the best uniform approximation by polynomials of fixed degree of the function sgn(x) on the union of two intervals symmetric with respect to the origin. We obtain precise asymptotics, with explicit constants, for the error of the…

We introduce approximation functions of $li(x)$ for all $x\ge e$: (1) $\displaystyle li_{\underline{\omega},\alpha}(x) = \frac{x}{\log(x)}\left( \alpha\frac{\underline{m}!}{\log^{\underline{m}}(x)} +…

Consider the problem of estimating the Shannon entropy of a distribution over $k$ elements from $n$ independent samples. We show that the minimax mean-square error is within universal multiplicative constant factors of $$\Big(\frac{k }{n…

In this paper, we present a very accurate approximation for gamma function: \begin{equation*} \Gamma \left( x+1\right) \thicksim \sqrt{2\pi x}\left( \dfrac{x}{e}\right) ^{x}\left( x\sinh \frac{1}{x}\right) ^{x/2}\exp \left(…

We provide a lower bound for the ratio between the ordinary and uniform exponent of both simultaneous Diophantine approximation and Diophantine approximation by linear forms in any dimension. This lower bound was conjectured by Schmidt and…

We establish asymptotic estimates for exact upper bounds of uniform approximations by Fourier sums on the classes of $2\pi$-periodic functions, which are represented by convolutions of functions $\varphi (\varphi\bot 1)$ from unit ball of…

We develop Stein's method for $\alpha$-stable approximation with $\alpha\in(0,1]$, continuing the recent line of research by Xu \cite{lihu} and Chen, Nourdin and Xu \cite{C-N-X} in the case $\alpha\in(1,2).$ The main results include an…

Euclidean norm calculations arise frequently in scientific and engineering applications. Several approximations for this norm with differing complexity and accuracy have been proposed in the literature. Earlier approaches were based on…

Let $\alpha$ be a Pisot number. Let $L(\alpha)$ be the largest positive number such that for some $\xi=\xi(\alpha)\in \mathbb R$ the limit points of the sequence of fractional parts $\{\xi \alpha^n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ all lie in the interval…

We give elementary proof of stronger versions of several recent results on intrinsic Diophantine approximation on rational quadric hypersurfaces $X\subset \mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{R})$. The main tool is a refinement of the simplex lemma, which…

Unitary best approximation to the exponential function on an interval on the imaginary axis has been introduced recently. In the present work two algorithms are considered to compute this best approximant: an algorithm based on rational…

Two topics of the number theory are discussed in this paper. First, we prove that given each natural number $x\geq10^{3}$, we have \[ |{\rm Li}(x)-\pi(x)|\leq c\sqrt{x}\log x\texttt{ and } \pi(x)={\rm Li}(x)+O(\sqrt{x}\log x) \] where $c$…

We provide very effective methods to convert both asymptotic and explicit numeric bounds on the prime counting function $\psi(x)$ to bounds of the same type on both $\theta(x)$ and $\pi(x)$. This follows up our previous work on $\psi(x)$ in…

We find two-sides estimates for the best uniform approximations of classes of convolutions of $2\pi$-periodic functions from unit ball of the space $L_p, 1 \le p <\infty,$ with fixed kernels, modules of Fourier coefficients of which satisfy…

Let \beta be a real number. Then for almost all irrational \alpha>0 (in the sense of Lebesgue measure) \limsup_{x\to\infty}\pi_{\alpha,\beta}^*(x)(\log x)^2/x>=1, where \pi_{\alpha,\beta}^*(x)={p<=x: both p and [\alpha p+\beta] are primes}.

It is well known that if a function $f$ satisfies $$\|f(x) e^{\pi \alpha |x|^2}\|_p + \| \widehat{f}(\xi) e^{\pi \alpha |\xi|^2} \|_q<\infty \qquad\qquad\qquad(*)$$ with $\alpha=1$ and $1\le p,q<\infty$, then $f\equiv 0.$ We prove that if…

We obtain a uniform $L^{\infty}(\Omega)$ a priori bound, for any positive weak solutions to elliptic problem with a nonlinearity $f$ slightly subcritical, slightly superlinear, and regularly varying. To achieve our result, we first obtain a…

We consider upper exponential bounds for the probability of the event that an absolute deviation of sample mean from mathematical expectation p is bigger comparing with some ordered level epsilon. These bounds include 2 coefficients {alpha,…

We show that for a nonnegative monotone sequence $\{c_k\}$ the condition $c_kk\to 0$ is sufficient for uniform convergence of the series $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}c_k\sin k^{\alpha} x$ on any bounded set for $\alpha\in (0,2)$, and for an odd…

The matrix $p \rightarrow q$ norm is a fundamental quantity appearing in a variety of areas of mathematics. This quantity is known to be efficiently computable in only a few special cases. The best known algorithms for approximately…
