On the distribution of sparse sequences in prime fields and applications

Víctor Cuauhtemoc García (2013)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

In the present paper we investigate distributional properties of sparse sequences modulo almost all prime numbers. We obtain new results for a wide class of sparse sequences which in particular find applications on additive problems and the discrete Littlewood problem related to lower bound estimates of the L 1 -norm of trigonometric sums.

On the distribution of the Euler function of shifted smooth numbers

Stefanie S. Loiperdinger, Igor E. Shparlinski (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We give asymptotic formulas for some average values of the Euler function on shifted smooth numbers. The result is based on various estimates on the distribution of smooth numbers in arithmetic progressions which are due to A. Granville and É. Fouvry & G. Tenenbaum.

On the distribution of the free path length of the linear flow in a honeycomb

Florin P. Boca, Radu N. Gologan (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Consider the region obtained by removing from 2 the discs of radius ε , centered at the points of integer coordinates ( a , b ) with b a ( mod ) . We are interested in the distribution of the free path length (exit time) τ , ε ( ω ) of a point particle, moving from ( 0 , 0 ) along a linear trajectory of direction ω , as ε 0 + . For every integer number 2 , we prove the weak convergence of the probability measures associated with the random variables ε τ , ε , explicitly computing the limiting distribution. For = 3 , respectively = 2 , this result leads...

On the distribution of the partial sum of Euler's totient function in residue classes

Youness Lamzouri, M. Tip Phaovibul, Alexandru Zaharescu (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We investigate the distribution of Φ ( n ) = 1 + i = 1 φ ( i ) (which counts the number of Farey fractions of order n) in residue classes. While numerical computations suggest that Φ(n) is equidistributed modulo q if q is odd, and is equidistributed modulo the odd residue classes modulo q when q is even, we prove that the set of integers n such that Φ(n) lies in these residue classes has a positive lower density when q = 3,4. We also provide a simple proof, based on the Selberg-Delange method, of a result of T. Dence and...
