Let $S$ be a set of dominant rational self-maps on $\mathbb{P}^N$. We study the arithmetic and dynamical degrees of infinite sequences of $S$ obtained by sequentially composing elements of $S$ on the right and left. We then apply this insight to dynamical Galois theory.
Let $\left( g\left( x \right),xg\left( x \right) \right)$ be a Riordan matrix from the Bell subgroup. We denote ${{\left( g\left( x \right),xg\left( x \right) \right)}^{φ}}=\left( {{g}^{\left( φ\right)}}\left( x \right),x{{g}^{\left( φ\right)}}\left( x \right) \right)$, where a matrix power is defined in the standard way. The polynomials ${{c}_{n}}\left( x \right)$ such that ${{g}^{\left( φ\right)}}\left( x \right)=\sum\nolimits_{n=0}^{\infty }{{{c}_{n}}}\left( φ\right){{x}^{n}}$ will be called composition polynomials. We consider the composition polynomials of the RNA matrix. The construction…
An important result of H. Weyl states that for every sequence $\left(a_{n}\right)_{n \geq 1}$ of distinct positive integers the sequence of fractional parts of $\left(a_{n} α\right)_{n\geq 1}$ is uniformly distributed modulo one for almost all $α$. However, in general it is a very hard problem to calculate the precise order of convergence of the discrepancy of $\left(\left\{a_{n} α\right\}\right)_{n \geq 1}$ for almost all $α$. In particular it is very difficult to give sharp lower bounds for the speed of convergence. Until now this was only carried out for lacunary sequences $\left(a_{n}\righ…
We consider the group of the matrices $\left( 1,g\left( x \right) \right)$ isomorphic to the group of formal power series $g\left( x \right)=x+{{g}_{2}}{{x}^{2}}+...$ under composition: $\left( 1,{{g}_{2}}\left( x \right) \right)\left( 1,{{g}_{1}}\left( x \right) \right)=\left( 1,{{g}_{1}}\left( {{g}_{2}}\left( x \right) \right) \right)$. Denote $P_{k}^{α}=\left( 1,x{{\left( 1-kα{{x}^{k}} \right)}^{{-1}/{k}\;}} \right)$. Matrix $\left( 1,g\left( x \right) \right)$is decomposed into an infinite product of the matrices $P_{k}^{α}$ with suitable exponents in two ways: to left-handed and right-han…
For a nonempty finite set $A$ of positive integers, let $\gcd\left(A\right)$ denote the greatest common divisor of the elements of $A$. Let $f\left(n\right)$ and $Φ\left(n\right)$ denote, respectively, the number of subsets $A$ of $\left\{1, 2, \ldots, n\right\}$ such that $\gcd\left(A\right) = 1$ and the number of subsets $A$ of $\left\{1, 2, \ldots, n\right\}$ such that $\gcd\left(A\cup\left\{n\right\}\right) =1$. Let $D\left(n\right)$ be the divisor sum of $f\left(n\right)$. In this article, we obtain partial sums of $f\left(n\right)$, $Φ\left(n\right)$ and $D\left(n\right)$. We also obtain…
Each numerical sequence $\left( {{b}_{0}},{{b}_{1}},{{b}_{2}},... \right)$ with the generating function $B\left( x \right)$ defines the pseudo-involution in the Riordan group $\left( 1,xg\left( x \right) \right)$ such that $g\left( x \right)=1+xg\left( x \right)B\left( {{x}^{2}}g\left( x \right) \right)$. In the present paper we realize a simple idea: express the coefficients of the series ${{g}^{m}}\left( x \right)$ in terms of the coefficients of the series $B\left( x \right)$. Obtained expansion has a bright combinatorial character, sheds light on the connection of the pseudo-involution in …
Let $\left(a_{n}\right)_{n}$ be a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers, denote by $A_{N}=\left\{ a_{n}:\,n\leq N\right\} $ its truncations, and let $α\in\left[0,1\right]$. We prove that if the additive energy $E\left(A_{N}\right)$ of $A_{N}$ is in $Ω\left(N^{3}\right)$, then the sequence $\left(\left\langle αa_{n}\right\rangle \right)_{n}$ of fractional parts of $αa_{n}$ does not have Poissonian pair correlations (PPC) for almost every $α$ in the sense of Lebesgue measure. Conversely, it is known that $E\left(A_{N}\right)=\mathcal{O}\left(N^{3-\varepsilon}\right)$, for some fixed …
Let $Λ\left(n\right)$ be the von Mangoldt function and $r_{G}\left(n\right) := \sum_{m_1 + m_2=n} Λ\left(m_1 \right) Λ\left(m_2 \right)$ be the counting function for the numbers that can be written as sum of two primes (that we will call "Goldbach numbers", for brevity) and let $\widetilde{S }\left(z\right) := \sum_{n\geq1} Λ\left(n\right) e^{-nz}$, with $z\in\mathbb{C}$, $\mathrm{Re}\left(z\right)>0$. In this paper we will prove the identity $$\widetilde{S}\left(z\right) = \frac{e^{-2z}}{z}-\sum_ρz^{-ρ} Γ\left(ρ\right) + \sum_ρ \left(z^{-ρ} γ\left(ρ,2z\right) - \frac{2^ρe^{-z}}ρ \right) + G\l…
The fundamental objective of this paper is to obtain some interesting properties for $\left(h,q\right)$-Genocchi numbers and polynomials by using the fermionic $p$-adic $q$-integral on $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$ and mentioned in the paper $q$-Bernstein polynomials. By considering the $q$-Euler zeta function defined by T. Kim, which can also be obtained by applying the Mellin transformation to the generating function of $\left(h,q\right)$-Genocchi polynomials, we study $\left(h,q\right)$-Zeta-type function. We derive symmetric properties of $\left(h,q\right)$-Zeta function and from these properties we gi…
Let $Λ\left(n\right)$ be the von Mangoldt function and $r_{SP}\left(n\right)=\sum_{m_{1}+m_{2}^{2}+m_{3}^{2}=n}Λ\left(m_{1}\right)Λ\left(m_{2}\right)Λ\left(m_{3}\right)$ be the counting function for the numbers that can be written as sum of a prime and two squares of primes. Let $N$ a sufficiently large integer, let $k>3/2$ and let $M_{i}\left(N,k\right),\, i=1,\dots,4$ suitable parameters depending on $Γ(s)$. We prove that $$\sum_{n\leq N}r_{SP}\left(n\right)\frac{\left(N-n\right)^{k}}{Γ\left(k+1\right)}=M_{1}\left(N,k\right)+M_{2}\left(N,k\right)+M_{3}\left(N,k\right)+M_{4}\left(N,k\right)+O…
Riordan matrices are infinite lower triangular matrices corresponding to the certain operators in the space of formal power series. Generalized Euler polynomials ${{g}_{n}}\left( x \right)={{\left( 1-x \right)}^{n+1}}\sum\nolimits_{m=0}^{\infty }{{{p}_{n}}}\left( m \right){{x}^{m}}$, where ${{p}_{n}}\left( m \right)$ is the polynomial of degree $\le n$, are the numerator polynomials of the generating functions of diagonals of the ordinary Riordan matrices. Generalized Narayana polynomials ${{h}_{n}}\left( x \right)={{\left( 1-x \right)}^{2n+1}}\sum\nolimits_{m=0}^{\infty }{\left( m+1 \right)..…
Let $α$ be a complex number. We show that there is a finite subset $F$ of the ring of the rational integers $\mathbb{Z}$, such that $F\left[ α\right] =\mathbb{Z}\left[ α\right]$, if and only if $α$ is an algebraic number whose conjugates, over the field of the rationals, are all of modulus one, or all of modulus greater than one. This completes the answer to a question, on the numbers satisfying the height reducing property, posed in [3].
Let $Λ$ be the von Mangoldt function and $r_{Q}\left(n\right)=\sum_{m_{1}+m_{2}^{2}+m_{3}^{2}=n}Λ\left(m_{1}\right)$ be the counting function for the numbers that can be written as sum of a prime and two squares (that we will call Linnik numbers, for brevity). Let $N$ a sufficiently large integer, let $k>3/2$ and let $M_{i}\left(N,k\right),\, i=1,\dots,k$ suitable parameters depending on $J_{v}\left(u\right)$, where $J_{v}\left(u\right)$ denotes the Bessel function of complex order $v$ and real argument $u$. We prove that $$ \sum_{n\leq N}r_{Q}\left(n\right)\frac{\left(N-n\right)^{k}}{Γ\left(k…
Two theorems are demonstrated giving analytical expressions of the fundamental solutions of the Pell equation $X^{2}-DY^{2}=1$ found by the method of continued fractions for two squarefree polynomial expressions of radicands of Richaud-Degert type $D$ of the form $D=\left(f\left(u\right)\right)^{2}\pm2^αn$, where $D$, $n>0$, $α\geq0,\in\mathbb{Z}$, and $f\left(u\right)>0,\in\mathbb{Z}$, any polynomial function of $u\in\mathbb{Z}$ such that $f\left(u\right)\equiv0\left(mod\,\left(2^{α-1}n\right)\right)$ or $f\left(u\right)\equiv\left(2^{α-2}n\right)\left(mod\,\left(2^{α-1}n\right)\right)$.
Let $Λ\left(n\right)$ be the Von Mangoldt function, let \[ r_{G}\left(n\right)=\underset{{\scriptstyle m_{1}+m_{2}=n}}{\sum_{m_{1},m_{2}\leq n}}Λ\left(m_{1}\right)Λ\left(m_{2}\right), \] \[ r_{PT}\left(N,h\right)=\sum_{n=0}^{N}Λ\left(n\right)Λ\left(n+h\right),\,h\in\mathbb{N} \] be the counting function of the Goldbach numbers and the counting function of the prime tuples, respectively. Let $N>2$ be an integer. We will find the explicit formulae for the averages of $r_{G}\left(n\right)$ and $r_{PT}\left(N,h\right)$ in terms of elementary functions, the incomplete Beta function $B_{z}\left(a,b\…
Generalized Euler polynomials ${{α}_{n}}\left( x \right)={{\left( 1-x \right)}^{n+1}}\sum\nolimits_{m=0}^{\infty }{{{p}_{n}}}\left( m \right){{x}^{m}}$, where ${{p}_{n}}\left( x \right)$ is the polynomial of degree $n$, are the numerator polynomials of the generating functions of diagonals of the ordinary Riordan arrays. Generalized Narayana polynomials ${{φ}_{n}}\left( x \right)={{\left( 1-x \right)}^{2n+1}}\sum\nolimits_{m=0}^{\infty }{\left( m+1 \right)...\left( m+n \right){{p}_{n}}}\left( m \right){{x}^{m}}$ are the numerator polynomials of the generating functions of diagonals of the expo…
In this paper, we generalize the arithmetic functions $τ$ and $τ^{\left(e\right)}$ in algebraic number fields and we find some properties of these functions.
In this paper we study the Diophantine equation \begin{align*} b^k + \left(a+b\right)^k + &\left(2a+b\right)^k + \ldots + \left(a\left(x-1\right) + b\right)^k = \\ &y\left(y+c\right) \left(y+2c\right) \ldots \left(y+ \left(\ell-1\right)c\right), \end{align*} where $a,b,c,k,\ell$ are given integers under natural conditions. We prove some effective results for special values for $c,k$ and $\ell$ and obtain a general ineffective result based on Bilu-Tichy method.
We show the following bounds on the prime counting function $π(x)$ using principles from analytic number theory, giving an estimate: $$2 \log 2 \geq \limsup_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{π(x)}{x / \log x} \geq \liminf_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{π(x)}{x / \log x} \geq \log 2$$ for all $x$ sufficiently large. We also conjecture about the bounding of $π((x+1)^{2}) - π(x^{2})$, as is relevant to Legendre's conjecture about the number of primes in the aforementioned interval such that: $$ \left \lfloor\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\left(x+1\right)^{2}}{\log\left(x+1\right)}-\frac{x^{2}}{\log x}\right)-\f…
On the Gross-Prasad conjecture with its refinement for $\left(\mathrm{SO}\left(5\right),\mathrm{SO}\left(2\right)\right)$ and the generalized Böcherer conjecture
Let $S=\left\langle s_1,\ldots,s_n\right\rangle$ be a numerical semigroup generated by the relatively prime positive integers $s_1,\ldots,s_n$. Let $k\geqslant 2$ be an integer. In this paper, we consider the following $k$-power variant of the Frobenius number of $S$ defined as $${}^{k\!}r\!\left(S\right):= \text{ the largest } k \text{-power integer not belonging to } S.$$In this paper, we investigate the case $k=2$. We give an upper bound for ${}^{2\!}r\!\left(S_A\right)$ for an infinite family of semigroups $S_A$ generated by {\em arithmetic progressions}. The latter turns out to be the exa…
We construct an analytic approach to evaluate odd Euler sums, multiple zeta value $ζ(3,2,\ldots,2)$ and multiple $t$-value $t\left(3,2,\ldots,2\right)$. Moreover, we also conjecture a closed expression for multiple $t$-value $t\left(2,\ldots,2,1\right)$.
In this paper, we use Abel's summation formula to evaluate several quadratic and cubic sums of the form: \[{F_N}\left( {A,B;x} \right) := \sum\limits_{n = 1}^N {\left( {A - {A_n}} \right)\left( {B - {B_n}} \right){x^n}} ,\;x \in [ - 1,1]\] and \[F\left( {A,B,ζ(r)} \right): = \sum\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {\left( {A - {A_n}} \right)\left( {B - {B_n}} \right)\left( {ζ\left( r \right) - {ζ_n}\left( r \right)} \right)} ,\] where the sequences $A_n,B_n$ are defined by the finite sums ${A_n} := \sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {a_k} ,\ {B_n} := \sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {b_k}\ ( {a_k},{b_k} =o(n^{-p}),{\mathop{\Re}\n…
Given $n\in\mathbb{N}$, let $ω\left(n\right)$ denote the number of distinct prime factors of $n$, let $Z$ denote a standard normal variable, and let $P_{n}$ denote the uniform distribution on $\left\{ 1,\ldots,n\right\} $. The Erdős-Kac Theorem states that $$P_{n}\left(m\le n:ω\left(m\right)-\log\log n\le x\left(\log\log n\right)^{1/2}\right)\to\mathbb{P}\left(Z\le x\right)$$ as $n\to\infty$; i.e., if $N\left(n\right)$ is a uniformly distributed variable on $\lbrace 1,\ldots,n \rbrace$, then $ω\left(N\left(n\right)\right)$ is asymptotically normally distributed as $n\to \infty$ with both mean …
