On a certain class of arithmetic functions

Antonio M. Oller-Marcén (2017)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

A homothetic arithmetic function of ratio $K$ is a function $f : ℕ \to R$ such that $f (K n) = f (n)$ for every $n \in ℕ$ . Periodic arithmetic funtions are always homothetic, while the converse is not true in general. In this paper we study homothetic and periodic arithmetic functions. In particular we give an upper bound for the number of elements of $f (ℕ)$ in terms of the period and the ratio of $f$ .

Lower and upper bounds for the provability of Herbrand consistency in weak arithmetics

Zofia Adamowicz, Konrad Zdanowski (2011)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove that for i ≥ 1, the arithmetic $I Δ ₀ + Ω_{i}$ does not prove a variant of its own Herbrand consistency restricted to the terms of depth in $(1 + ε) l o g^{i + 2}$ , where ε is an arbitrarily small constant greater than zero. On the other hand, the provability holds for the set of terms of depths in $l o g^{i + 3}$ .

Herbrand consistency and bounded arithmetic

Zofia Adamowicz (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove that the Gödel incompleteness theorem holds for a weak arithmetic Tₘ = IΔ₀ + Ωₘ, for m ≥ 2, in the form Tₘ ⊬ HCons(Tₘ), where HCons(Tₘ) is an arithmetic formula expressing the consistency of Tₘ with respect to the Herbrand notion of provability. Moreover, we prove $T ₘ ⊬ H C o n s^{I ₘ} (T ₘ)$ , where $H C o n s^{I ₘ}$ is HCons relativised to the definable cut Iₘ of (m-2)-times iterated logarithms. The proof is model-theoretic. We also prove a certain non-conservation result for Tₘ.

Numerical characterization of nef arithmetic divisors on arithmetic surfaces

Atsushi Moriwaki (2014)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

In this paper, we give a numerical characterization of nef arithmetic $ℝ$ -Cartier divisors of $C^{0}$ -type on an arithmetic surface. Namely an arithmetic $ℝ$ -Cartier divisor $\bar{D}$ of $C^{0}$ -type is nef if and only if $\bar{D}$ is pseudo-effective and $\hat{\deg} ({\bar{D}}^{2}) = \hat{vol} (\bar{D})$ .

On generalized square-full numbers in an arithmetic progression

Angkana Sripayap, Pattira Ruengsinsub, Teerapat Srichan (2022)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $a$ and $b \in ℕ$ . Denote by $R_{a, b}$ the set of all integers $n > 1$ whose canonical prime representation $n = p_{1}^{α_{1}} p_{2}^{α_{2}} \dots p_{r}^{α_{r}}$ has all exponents $α_{i}$ $(1 \leq i \leq r)$ being a multiple of $a$ or belonging to the arithmetic progression $a t + b$ , $t \in ℕ_{0} : = ℕ \cup {0}$ . All integers in $R_{a, b}$ are called generalized square-full integers. Using the exponent pair method, an upper bound for character sums over generalized square-full integers is derived. An application on the distribution of generalized square-full integers in an arithmetic progression is given. ...

Aposyndesis in $ℕ$

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We consider the Golomb and the Kirch topologies in the set of natural numbers. Among other results, we show that while with the Kirch topology every arithmetic progression is aposyndetic, in the Golomb topology only for those arithmetic progressions $P (a, b)$ with the property that every prime number that divides $a$ also divides $b$ , it follows that being connected, being Brown, being totally Brown, and being aposyndetic are all equivalent. This characterizes the arithmetic progressions which are...

On arithmetic progressions on Edwards curves

Enrique González-Jiménez (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

Let $m \in ℤ_{> 0}$ and a,q ∈ ℚ. Denote by $_{m} (a, q)$ the set of rational numbers d such that a, a + q, ..., a + (m-1)q form an arithmetic progression in the Edwards curve $E_{d} : x ² + y ² = 1 + d x ² y ²$ . We study the set $_{m} (a, q)$ and we parametrize it by the rational points of an algebraic curve.

A structure theorem for sets of small popular doubling

Przemysław Mazur (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We prove that every set A ⊂ ℤ satisfying $\sum_{x} m i n (1_{A} * 1_{A} (x), t) \leq (2 + δ) t | A |$ for t and δ in suitable ranges must be very close to an arithmetic progression. We use this result to improve the estimates of Green and Morris for the probability that a random subset A ⊂ ℕ satisfies |ℕ∖(A+A)| ≥ k; specifically, we show that $ℙ (| ℕ ∖ (A + A) | \geq k) = Θ (2^{- k / 2})$ .

Arithmetic of 0-cycles on varieties defined over number fields

Yongqi Liang (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Let $X$ be a rationally connected algebraic variety, defined over a number field $k .$ We find a relation between the arithmetic of rational points on $X$ and the arithmetic of zero-cycles. More precisely, we consider the following statements: (1) the Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only obstruction to weak approximation for $K$ -rational points on $X_{K}$ for all finite extensions $K / k;$ (2) the Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only obstruction to weak approximation in some sense that we define for zero-cycles...

A problem of Rankin on sets without geometric progressions

Melvyn B. Nathanson, Kevin O'Bryant (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

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 ${(a_{i})}_{i = 1}^{\infty}$ of positive real numbers with a₁ = 1 such that the set $G^{(k)} = ⋃_{i = 1}^{\infty} (a_{2 i}, a_{2 i - 1}]$ 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...

Generalized weighted quasi-arithmetic means and the Kolmogorov-Nagumo theorem

Janusz Matkowski (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

A generalization of the weighted quasi-arithmetic mean generated by continuous and increasing (decreasing) functions $f ₁, . . ., f_{k} : I \to ℝ$ , k ≥ 2, denoted by $A^{[f ₁, . . ., f_{k}]}$ , is considered. Some properties of $A^{[f ₁, . . ., f_{k}]}$ , including “associativity” assumed in the Kolmogorov-Nagumo theorem, are shown. Convex and affine functions involving this type of means are considered. Invariance of a quasi-arithmetic mean with respect to a special mean-type mapping built of generalized means is applied in solving a functional equation. For...

An inconsistency equation involving means

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We show that any quasi-arithmetic mean $A_{φ}$ and any non-quasi-arithmetic mean M (reasonably regular) are inconsistent in the sense that the only solutions f of both equations $f (M (x, y)) = A_{φ} (f (x), f (y))$ and $f (A_{φ} (x, y)) = M (f (x), f (y))$ are the constant ones.

On the least almost-prime in arithmetic progressions

Liuying Wu (2024)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $𝒫_{2}$ denote a positive integer with at most $2$ prime factors, counted according to multiplicity. For integers $a$ , $q$ such that $(a, q) = 1$ , let $𝒫_{2} (q, a)$ denote the least $𝒫_{2}$ in the arithmetic progression ${n q + a}_{n = 1}^{\infty}$ . It is proved that for sufficiently large $q$ , we have $𝒫_{2} (q, a) ≪ q^{1.825} .$ This result constitutes an improvement upon that of J. Li, M. Zhang and Y. Cai (2023), who obtained $𝒫_{2} (q, a) ≪ q^{1.8345} .$

The power set of ω Elementary submodels and weakenings of CH

István Juhász, Kenneth Kunen (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We define a new principle, SEP, which is true in all Cohen extensions of models of CH, and explore the relationship between SEP and other such principles. SEP is implied by each of CH*, the weak Freeze-Nation property of (ω), and the (ℵ₁,ℵ₀)-ideal property. SEP implies the principle $C ₂^{s} (ω ₂)$ , but does not follow from $C ₂^{s} (ω ₂)$ , or even $C^{s} (ω ₂)$ .

Algebraic and topological structures on the set of mean functions and generalization of the AGM mean

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We present new structures and results on the set of mean functions on a given symmetric domain in ℝ². First, we construct on a structure of abelian group in which the neutral element is the arithmetic mean; then we study some symmetries in that group. Next, we construct on a structure of metric space under which is the closed ball with center the arithmetic mean and radius 1/2. We show in particular that the geometric and harmonic means lie on the boundary of . Finally, we give...

We use the estimation of the number of integers $n$ such that $⌊ n^{c} ⌋$ belongs to an arithmetic progression to study the coprimality of integers in $ℕ^{c} = {⌊ n^{c} ⌋}_{n \in ℕ}$ , $c > 1$ , $c \notin ℕ$ .
