We study the condition on expanding an analytic several variables function in terms of products of the homogeneous generalized Al-Salam-Carlitz polynomials. As applications, we deduce bilinear generating functions for the homogeneous generalized Al-Salam-Carlitz polynomials. We also gain multilinear generating functions for the homogeneous generalized Al-Salam-Carlitz polynomials. Moreover, we obtain generalizations of Andrews-Askey integrals and Ramanujan $q$-beta integrals. At last, we derive $U(n+1)$...

For any positive integer k and any set A of nonnegative integers, let $r_{1,k}(A,n)$ denote the number of solutions (a₁,a₂) of the equation n = a₁ + ka₂ with a₁,a₂ ∈ A. Let k,l ≥ 2 be two distinct integers. We prove that there exists a set A ⊆ ℕ such that both $r_{1,k}(A,n)=r_{1,k}(\mathbb{N}\setminus A,n)$ and $r_{1,l}(A,n)=r_{1,l}(\mathbb{N}\setminus A,n)$ hold for all n ≥ n₀ if and only if log k/log l = a/b for some odd positive integers a,b, disproving a conjecture of Yang. We also show that for any set A ⊆ ℕ satisfying $r_{1,k}(A,n)=r_{1,k}(\mathbb{N}\setminus A,n)$ for all n ≥ n₀, we have $r_{1,k}(A,n)\to \infty$ as n → ∞.

We show that the system of equations $t_x+t_y=t_p,t_y+t_z=t_q,t_x+t_z=t_r$, where $t_x=x(x+1)/2$ is a triangular number, has infinitely many solutions in integers. Moreover, we show that this system has a rational three-parameter solution. Using this result we show that the system $t_x+t_y=t_p,t_y+t_z=t_q,t_x+t_z=t_r,t_x+t_y+t_z=t_s$ has infinitely many rational two-parameter solutions.

We prove that the sign of Kloosterman sums $Kl(1,1;n)$ changes infinitely often as $n$ runs through the square-free numbers with at most $15$ prime factors. This improves on a previous result by Sivak-Fischler who obtained 18 instead of 15. Our improvement comes from introducing an elementary inequality which gives lower and upper bounds for the dot product of two sequences whose individual distributions are known.

Let k be an (imaginary or real) abelian number field whose conductor has two distinct prime divisors. We shall construct a basis for the group C of circular units in k and compute the index of C in the group E of units in k. This result is a generalization of Theorem 3.3 in a previous paper [1].

We implement the Maynard-Tao method of detecting primes in tuples to investigate small gaps between primes in arithmetic progressions, with bounds that are uniform over a range of moduli.

The paper studies the structure of the ring A of arithmetical functions, where the multiplication is defined as the Dirichlet convolution. It is proven that A itself is not a discrete valuation ring, but a certain extension of it is constructed,this extension being a discrete valuation ring. Finally, the metric structure of the ring A is examined.

Introduction. Recently J. Rutkowski (see [3]) has defined the p-adic analogue of the Walsh system, which we shall denote by ${\left(\varphi ₘ\right)}_{m\in \mathbb{N}₀}$. The system ${\left(\varphi ₘ\right)}_{m\in \mathbb{N}₀}$ is defined in the space C(ℤₚ,ℂₚ) of ℂₚ-valued continuous functions on ℤₚ. J. Rutkowski has also considered some questions concerning expansions of functions from C(ℤₚ,ℂₚ) with respect to ${\left(\varphi ₘ\right)}_{m\in \mathbb{N}₀}$. This paper is a remark to Rutkowski’s paper. We define another system ${\left(hₙ\right)}_{n\in \mathbb{N}₀}$ in C(ℤₚ,ℂₚ), investigate its properties and compare it to the system defined by Rutkowski. The system...

We show that the number of squares in an arithmetic progression of length $N$ is at most $c_1{N}^{3/5}{\left(\log N\right)}^{c_2}$, for certain absolute positive constants $c_1$, $c_2$. This improves the previous result of Bombieri, Granville and Pintz [1], where one had the exponent $\frac{2}{3}$ in place of our $\frac{3}{5}$. The proof uses the same ideas as in [1], but introduces a substantial simplification by working only with elliptic curves rather than curves of genus $5$ as in [1].
