To minimize or upper-bound the value of a function "robustly", we might instead minimize or upper-bound the "epsilon-robust regularization", defined as the map from a point to the maximum value of the function within an epsilon-radius. This…

Let $\mu(n)$ be the M\"{o}bius function. Let $P^-(n)$ denote the smallest prime factor of an integer $n$. In 1977, Alladi established the following formula related to the prime number theorem for arithmetic progressions \[…

Using the link between mod $p$ Galois representations of $\qu$ and mod $p$ modular forms established by Serre's Conjecture, we compute, for every prime $p\leq 1999$, a lower bound for the number of isomorphism classes of continuous Galois…

We study the complexity of optimizing highly smooth convex functions. For a positive integer $p$, we want to find an $\epsilon$-approximate minimum of a convex function $f$, given oracle access to the function and its first $p$ derivatives,…

Let $p>3$ be a prime, and let $(\frac{\cdot}p)$ be the Legendre symbol. Let $b\in\mathbb Z$ and $\varepsilon\in\{\pm 1\}$. We mainly prove that $$\left|\left\{N_p(a,b):\ 1<a<p\ \text{and}\ \left(\frac…

In this note, we introduce the notion of modulus of $p$-variation for a function of a real variable, and show that it serves in at least two important problems, namely, the uniform convergence of Fourier series and computation of certain…

Consider a quadratic polynomial $f\left(\xi_{1},\dots,\xi_{n}\right)$ of independent Bernoulli random variables. What can be said about the concentration of $f$ on any single value? This generalises the classical Littlewood--Offord problem,…

In a seminal paper of Charikar et al. on the smallest grammar problem, the authors derive upper and lower bounds on the approximation ratios for several grammar-based compressors, but in all cases there is a gap between the lower and upper…

Let $s$ be a fixed positive integer constant, $\varepsilon$ be a fixed small positive number. Then, provided that a prime $p$ is large enough, we prove that for any set $\{{\mathcal M}\subseteq \mathbb F_p^*$ of size $|{\mathcal M}|=…

The classic example of a low-discrepancy sequence in $\mathbb{Z}_p$ is $(x_n) = an+b$ with $a \in \mathbb{Z}_p^x$ and $b \in \mathbb{Z}_p$. Here we address the non-linear case and show that a polynomial $f$ generates a low-discrepancy…

We formulate some special conditions for the integrable functions and moduli of continuity. We give the results on rate of approximation of such functions by matrix means of their Fourier series, where the entries of the rows of the matrix…

We study $p$-harmonic functions, $ 1 < p\neq 2 < \infty$, in $ \mathbb{R}^{2}_+ = \{ z = x + i y : y > 0, - \infty < x < \infty \} $ and $B( 0, 1 ) = \{ z : |z| < 1 \}$. We first show for fixed $ p$, $1 < p\neq 2 < \infty$, and for all…

We consider the problem of minimizing a polynomial function over the integer lattice. Though impossible in general, we use a known sufficient condition for the existence of continuous minimizers to guarantee the existence of integer…

Primitive roots of 1 mod p^k (k>2 and odd prime p) are sought, in cyclic units group G_k = A_k B_k mod p^k, coprime to p, of order (p-1)p^{k-1}. 'Core' subgroup A_k has order p-1 independent of k, and p+1 generates 'extension' subgroup B_k…

The classical inequality of Bohr asserts that if a power series converges in the unit disk and its sum has modulus less than or equal to $1$, then the sum of absolute values of its terms is less than or equal to $1$ for the subdisk…

We give upper bounds on the size of the gap between the constant term and the next non-zero Fourier coefficient of an entire modular form of given weight for \Gamma_0(2). Numerical evidence indicates that a sharper bound holds for the…

We study nominal anti-unification, which is concerned with computing least general generalizations for given terms-in-context. In general, the problem does not have a least general solution, but if the set of atoms permitted in…

The main result of the paper is a lower estimate for the moduli of imaginary parts of the poles of a simple partial fraction (i.e. the logarithmic derivative of an algebraic polynomial) under the condition that the…

In this paper, we study the regularity of the solutions of Maxwell's equations in a bounded domain. We consider several different types of low regularity assumptions to the coefficients which are all less than Lipschitz. We first develop a…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, and let $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_{n}X^{n}\in\mathbb{F}_p[[X]]$ be the reduction modulo $p$ of the Artin-Hasse exponential. We obtain a polynomial expression for $a_{kp}$ in terms of those $a_{rp}$ with $r<k$, for even…
