We consider the Vilenkin orthonormal system on a Vilenkin group $G$ and the Vilenkin-Fourier coefficients $\widehat{f}\left(n\right)$, $n\in \mathbb{N}$, of functions $f\in L^p\left(G\right)$ for some $1<p\le 2$. We obtain certain sufficient conditions for the finiteness of the series ${\sum }_{n=1}^{\infty }{a}_n{\left|\widehat{f}\left(n\right)\right|}^r$, where $\left\{a_n\right\}$ is a given sequence of positive real numbers satisfying a mild assumption and $0<r<2$. We also find analogous conditions for the double Vilenkin-Fourier series. These sufficient conditions are in terms of (either global or local) moduli of continuity of $f$ and give multiplicative...

Let $j\ge 2$ be a given integer. Let $H_k^{*}$ be the set of all normalized primitive holomorphic cusp forms of even integral weight $k\ge 2$ for the full modulo group $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$. For $f\in H_k^{*}$, denote by ${\lambda }_{{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f}\left(n\right)$ the $n$th normalized Fourier coefficient of $j$th symmetric power $L$-function ($L(s,{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f)$) attached to $f$. We are interested in the average behaviour of the sum $$\sum _{\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{n=a_1^2+a_2^2+a_3^2+a_4^2+a_5^2+a_6^2\le x}{(a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_5,a_6)\in {\mathbb{Z}}^6}}{\lambda }_{{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f}^2\left(n\right),$$ where $x$ is sufficiently large, which improves the recent work of A. Sharma and A. Sankaranarayanan (2023).

A famous theorem of Carleson says that, given any function $f\in L^p\left(𝕋\right)$, $p\in (1,+\infty )$, its Fourier series $\left(S_{n}f\left(x\right)\right)$ converges for almost every $x\in 𝕋$. Beside this property, the series may diverge at some point, without exceeding $O\left(n^{1/p}\right)$. We define the divergence index at $x$ as the infimum of the positive real numbers $\beta$ such that $S_{n}f\left(x\right)=O\left(n^{\beta }\right)$ and we are interested in the size of the exceptional sets $E_{\beta }$, namely the sets of $x\in 𝕋$ with divergence index equal to $\beta$. We show that quasi-all functions in $L^p\left(𝕋\right)$ have a multifractal behavior with respect to...

Let $f={\sum }_{n=1}^{\infty }a\left(n\right)q^n\in S_{k+1/2}(N,{\chi }_0)$ be a nonzero cuspidal Hecke eigenform of weight $k+\frac{1}{2}$ and the trivial nebentypus ${\chi }_0$, where the Fourier coefficients $a\left(n\right)$ are real. Bruinier and Kohnen conjectured that the signs of $a\left(n\right)$ are equidistributed. This conjecture was proved to be true by Inam, Wiese and Arias-de-Reyna for the subfamilies ${\left\{a\left(t{n}^2\right)\right\}}_n$, where $t$ is a squarefree integer such that $a\left(t\right)\ne 0$. Let $q$ and $d$ be natural numbers such that $(d,q)=1$. In this work, we show that ${\left\{a\left(t{n}^2\right)\right\}}_n$ is equidistributed over any arithmetic progression $n\equiv dmodq$.

Let $f_c(x,y)\equiv {\sum }_{j=1}^{\infty }{\sum }_{k=1}^{\infty }{a}_{jk}(1-cosjx)(1-cosky)$ with $a_{jk}\ge 0$ for all j,k ≥ 1. We estimate the integral ${\int }_0^{\pi }{\int }_0^{\pi }{x}^{\alpha -1}{y}^{\beta -1}\varphi \left(f_c(x,y)\right)dxdy$ in terms of the coefficients $a_{jk}$, where α, β ∈ ℝ and ϕ: [0,∞] → [0,∞]. Our results can be regarded as the trigonometric analogues of those of Mazhar and Móricz [MM]. They generalize and extend Boas [B, Theorem 6.7].

We prove that for a normed linear space $X$, if $f_1:X\to ℝ$ is continuous and semiconvex with modulus $\omega$, $f_2:X\to ℝ$ is continuous and semiconcave with modulus $\omega$ and $f_1\le f_2$, then there exists $f\in C^{1,\omega }\left(X\right)$ such that $f_1\le f\le f_2$. Using this result we prove a generalization of Ilmanen lemma (which deals with the case $\omega \left(t\right)=t$) to the case of an arbitrary nontrivial modulus $\omega$. This generalization (where a $C_{loc}^{1,\omega }$ function is inserted) gives a positive answer to a problem formulated by A. Fathi and M. Zavidovique in 2010.

Let $f$, $g$ and $h$ be three distinct primitive holomorphic cusp forms of even integral weights $k_1$, $k_2$ and $k_3$ for the full modular group $\Gamma =\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$, respectively, and let ${\lambda }_f\left(n\right)$, ${\lambda }_g\left(n\right)$ and ${\lambda }_h\left(n\right)$ denote the $n$th normalized Fourier coefficients of $f$, $g$ and $h$, respectively. We consider the cancellations of sums related to arithmetic functions ${\lambda }_g\left(n\right)$, ${\lambda }_h\left(n\right)$ twisted by ${\lambda }_f\left(n\right)$ and establish the following results: $$\sum _{n\le x}{\lambda }_f\left(n\right){\lambda }_g{\left(n\right)}^i{\lambda }_h{\left(n\right)}^j{\ll }_{f,g,h,\epsilon }{x}^{1-1/2^{i+j}+\epsilon }$$ for any $\epsilon >0$, where $1\le i\le 2$, $j\ge 5$ are any fixed positive integers.

For an integer $k\ge 2$, let ${\left(n\right)}_n$ be the $k-$generalized Pell sequence which starts with $0,...,0,1$ ($k$ terms) and each term afterwards is given by the linear recurrence $n=2n-1+n-2+\cdots +n-k$. In this paper, we find all $k$-generalized Pell numbers with only one distinct digit (the so-called repdigits). Some interesting estimations involving generalized Pell numbers, that we believe are of independent interest, are also deduced. This paper continues a previous work that searched for repdigits in the usual Pell sequence ${\left(P_n^{\left(2\right)}\right)}_n$. ...

We investigate the average behavior of the $n$th normalized Fourier coefficients of the $j$th ($j\ge 2$ be any fixed integer) symmetric power $L$-function (i.e., $L(s,{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f)$), attached to a primitive holomorphic cusp form $f$ of weight $k$ for the full modular group $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ over certain sequences of positive integers. Precisely, we prove an asymptotic formula with an error term for the sum $$S_j^{*}:=\sum _{a_1^2+a_2^2+a_3^2+a_4^2+a_5^2+a_6^2\le x(a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_5,a_6)\in {\mathbb{Z}}^6}{\lambda }_{{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f}^2(a_1^2+a_2^2+a_3^2+a_4^2+a_5^2+a_6^2),$$ where $x$ is sufficiently large, and $$L(s,{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f):=\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{{\lambda }_{{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f}\left(n\right)}{n^s}.$$ When $j=2$, the error term which we obtain improves the earlier known result.

The seminal theorem of Cobham has given rise during the last 40 years to a lot of work about non-standard numeration systems and has been extended to many contexts. In this paper, as a result of fifteen years of improvements, we obtain a complete and general version for the so-called substitutive sequences. Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be two multiplicatively independent Perron numbers. Then a sequence $x\in A^{\mathbb{N}}$, where $A$ is a finite alphabet, is both $\alpha$-substitutive and $\beta$-substitutive if and only if $x$ is ultimately...

We study the following nonlinear method of approximation by trigonometric polynomials. For a periodic function f we take as an approximant a trigonometric polynomial of the form $Gₘ\left(f\right):={\sum }_{k\in \Lambda }f̂\left(k\right)e^{i(k,x)}$, where $\Lambda \subset {\mathbb{Z}}^d$ is a set of cardinality m containing the indices of the m largest (in absolute value) Fourier coefficients f̂(k) of the function f. Note that Gₘ(f) gives the best m-term approximant in the L₂-norm, and therefore, for each f ∈ L₂, ||f-Gₘ(f)||₂ → 0 as m → ∞. It is known from previous results that in...

For any $\alpha ,\beta >0$ with $\alpha +\beta <1$ we provide a simple construction of an $\alpha$-Hölde function $f:[0,1]\to ℝ$ and a $\beta$-Hölder function $g:[0,1]\to ℝ$ such that the integral ${\int }_0^{1}f\mathrm{d}g$ fails to exist even in the Kurzweil-Stieltjes sense.

A natural number $n$ is said to be a $(k,r)$-integer if $n=a^{k}b$, where $k>r>1$ and $b$ is not divisible by the $r$th power of any prime. We study the distribution of such $(k,r)$-integers in the Piatetski-Shapiro sequence $\left\{\lfloor n^c\rfloor \right\}$ with $c>1$. As a corollary, we also obtain similar results for semi-$r$-free integers.

We study the structure of longest sequences in $\mathbb{Z}{ₙ}^d$ which have no zero-sum subsequence of length n (or less). We prove, among other results, that for $n=2^a$ and d arbitrary, or $n=3^a$ and d = 3, every sequence of c(n,d)(n-1) elements in $\mathbb{Z}{ₙ}^d$ which has no zero-sum subsequence of length n consists of c(n,d) distinct elements each appearing n-1 times, where $c(2^a,d)=2^d$ and $c(3^a,3)=9$.

We show that every operator from ${\ell }_s$ to ${\ell }_p\otimes ̂{\ell }_q$ is compact when 1 ≤ p,q < s and that every operator from ${\ell }_s$ to ${\ell }_p\widehat{\otimes ̂}{\ell }_q$ is compact when 1/p + 1/q > 1 + 1/s.

Let $f^j={\sum }_k{a}_{k}f(2^{j+1}x-2k)$, where the sum is taken over the lattice of all points k in ${ℝ}^n$ having integer-valued components, j∈ℕ and $a_k\in ℂ$. Let $A_{pq}^s$ be either $B_{pq}^s$ or $F_{pq}^s$ (s ∈ ℝ, 0 < p < ∞, 0 < q ≤ ∞) on ${ℝ}^n.$ The aim of the paper is to clarify under what conditions $\parallel f^j|A_{pq}^s\parallel$ is equivalent to $2^{j(s-n/p)}({\sum }_k|a_k{|}^p{)}^{1/p}\parallel f|A_{pq}^s\parallel$.

In a Tychonoff space $X$, the point $p\in X$ is called a $C^{*}$-point if every real-valued continuous function on $C\setminus \left\{p\right\}$ can be extended continuously to $p$. Every point in an extremally disconnected space is a $C^{*}$-point. A classic example is the space ${𝐖}^{*}={\omega }_1+1$ consisting of the countable ordinals together with ${\omega }_1$. The point ${\omega }_1$ is known to be a $C^{*}$-point as well as a $P$-point. We supply a characterization of $C^{*}$-points in totally ordered spaces. The remainder of our time is aimed at studying when a point in a product space...

For each n ≥ 1, let $v_{n,k},k\ge 1$ and $u_{n,k},k\ge 1$ be mutually independent sequences of nonnegative random variables and let each of them consist of mutually independent and identically distributed random variables with means v̅ₙ and u̅̅ₙ, respectively. Let $X{ₙ}^B\left(t\right)=(1/cₙ){\sum }_{j=1}^{\left[nt\right]}(v_{n,j}-v̅ₙ)$, $X{ₙ}^A\left(t\right)=(1/cₙ){\sum }_{j=1}^{\left[nt\right]}(u_{n,j}-u̅̅ₙ)$, t ≥ 0, and $Xₙ=X{ₙ}^B-X{ₙ}^A$. The main result gives conditions under which the weak convergence $Xₙ\stackrel{}{\to }X$, where X is a Lévy process, implies $X{ₙ}^B\stackrel{}{\to }{X}^B$ and $X{ₙ}^A\stackrel{}{\to }{X}^A$, where $X^B$ and $X^A$ are mutually independent Lévy processes and $X=X^B-X^A$.

Let $f$ be a normalized primitive holomorphic cusp form of even integral weight for the full modular group $\Gamma =\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$. Denote by ${\lambda }_f\left(n\right)$ the $n$th normalized Fourier coefficient of $f$. We are interested in the average behaviour of the sum $$\sum _{a^2+b^2\le x}{\lambda }_f^j(a^2+b^2)$$ for $x\ge 1$, where $a,b\in \mathbb{Z}$ and $j\ge 9$ is any fixed positive integer. In a similar manner, we also establish analogous results for the normalized coefficients of Dirichlet expansions of associated symmetric power $L$-functions and Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions.
