In 1959 Fejes T\'oth posed a conjecture that the sum of pairwise non-obtuse angles between $N$ unit vectors in $\mathbb S^d$ is maximized by periodically repeated elements of the standard orthonormal basis. We obtain new improved upper…

Let $d, r \in \N$, $\|\cdot\|$ any norm on $\R^d$ and $B$ denote the unit ball with respect to this norm. We show that any sequence $v_1,v_2,...$ of vectors in $B$ can be partitioned into $r$ subsequences $V_1, ..., V_r$ in a balanced…

In 1970, Erd\H{o}s and S\'ark\"ozy wrote a joint paper studying sequences of integers $a_1<a_2<\dots$ having what they called property P, meaning that no $a_i$ divides the sum of two larger $a_j,a_k$. In the paper, it was stated that the…

Hindman's finite sums theorem states that in any finite coloring of the naturals, there is an infinite sequence all of whose finite subset sums are the same color. In 1979, Hindman showed that there is a finite coloring of the naturals so…

Erd\H{o}s considered the second moment of the gap-counting function of prime divisors in 1946 and proved an upper bound that is not of the right order of magnitude. We prove asymptotics for all moments. Furthermore, we prove a…

We discuss analogues of Newman and Rivlin's formula concerning the ratio of a partial sum of a power series to its limit function and present a new general result of this type for entire functions with a certain asymptotic character. The…

Let $f(n)$ be an arithmetic function with $f(n) \ll n^\alpha$ for some $\alpha\in[0,1)$ and let $\lfloor .\rfloor $ denote the integer part function. In this paper, we evaluate asymptotically the sums $$\sum_{n_{1}n_{2}\leq x}f \left(…

A subset of the integers larger than 1 is $primitive$ if no member divides another. Erdos proved in 1935 that the sum of $1/(a\log a)$ for $a$ running over a primitive set $A$ is universally bounded over all choices for $A$. In 1988 he…

Wiegerinck has shown that a separately subharmonic function need not be subharmonic. Improving previous results of Lelong, of Avanissian, of Arsove and of us, Armitage and Gardiner gave an almost sharp integrability condition which ensures…

Under various conditions, we establish Schauder estimates for both divergence and non-divergence form second-order elliptic and parabolic equations involving H\"older semi-norms not with respect to all, but only with respect to some of the…

Let $G$ be a group and $H_1$,\ldots,$H_s$ be subgroups of $G$ of indices $d_1,\ldots,d_s$ respectively. In 1974, M. Herzog and J. Sch\"onheim conjectured that if $\{H_i\alpha_i\}_{i=1}^{i=s}$, $\alpha_i\in G$, is a coset partition of $G$,…

We present a number of results about (finite) multiple harmonic sums modulo a prime, which provide interesting parallels to known results about multiple zeta values (i.e., infinite multiple harmonic series). In particular, we prove a…

Euler showed that if an odd perfect number exists, it must be of the form $N = p^\alpha q_{1}^{2\beta_{1}}$ $\ldots$ $q_{k}^{2\beta_{k}}$, where $p, q_{1}, \ldots, q_k$ are distinct odd primes, $\alpha$, $\beta_{i} \geq 1$, for $1 \leq i…

Recently, Bradley studied partial sums of multiple q-zeta values and proved a duality result. In this paper, we present a generalization of his result.

It is proved that for any non-empty finite subset $Q$ of the square numbers, $ |Q+Q|\geq C'|Q|(\log |Q|)^{1/3+o(1)} $. This result essentially is proved -- with the same tools -- by Mei-Chu Chang. See in J. Funct. Anal. 207 (2004), no 2,…

In 1988 P. Erd\"os asked if the prime divisors of $x^n -1$ for all $n=1,2, >...$ determine the given integer $x$; the problem was affirmatively answered by Corrales-Rodorig\'a\~nez and R. Schoof in 1997 together with its elliptic version.…

In this paper, we consider three families of numerical series with general terms containing the harmonic numbers, and we use simple methods from classical and complex analysis to find explicit formulas for their respective sums.

In 1914, Kempner proved that the series 1/1 + 1/2 + ... + 1/8 + 1/10 + 1/11 + ... + 1/18 + 1/20 + 1/21 + ... where the denominators are the positive integers that do not contain the digit 9, converges to a sum less than 90. The actual sum…

Schur's inequality states that the sum of three special terms is always nonnegative. This note is a short review of inequalities for the sum of the reciprocals of these terms and of extensions of the latter inequalities to an arbitrary…

The partial sums of integer sequences that count the occurrences of a specific pattern in the binary expansion of positive integers have been investigated by different authors since the 1950s. In this note, we introduce generalized pattern…
