The sequence of fractional parts of roots

Kevin O'Bryant — 2015

Acta Arithmetica

We study the function M θ ( n ) = 1 / θ 1 / n , where θ is a positive real number, ⌊·⌋ and · are the floor and fractional part functions, respectively. Nathanson proved, among other properties of M θ , that if log θ is rational, then for all but finitely many positive integers n, M θ ( n ) = n / l o g θ - 1 / 2 . We extend this by showing that, without any condition on θ, all but a zero-density set of integers n satisfy M θ ( n ) = n / l o g θ - 1 / 2 . Using a metric result of Schmidt, we show that almost all θ have asymptotically (log θ log x)/12 exceptional n ≤ x. Using continued...

A problem of Rankin on sets without geometric progressions

Melvyn B. NathansonKevin O'Bryant — 2015

Acta Arithmetica

A geometric progression of length k and integer ratio is a set of numbers of the form a , a r , . . . , a r k - 1 for some positive real number a and integer r ≥ 2. For each integer k ≥ 3, a greedy algorithm is used to construct a strictly decreasing sequence ( a i ) i = 1 of positive real numbers with a₁ = 1 such that the set G ( k ) = i = 1 ( a 2 i , a 2 i - 1 ] contains no geometric progression of length k and integer ratio. Moreover, G ( k ) is a maximal subset of (0,1] that contains no geometric progression of length k and integer ratio. It is also proved that there is...
