On generalized square-full numbers in an arithmetic progression

Angkana Sripayap, Pattira Ruengsinsub, Teerapat Srichan (2022)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let a and b . 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 p r α r has all exponents α i ( 1 i r ) being a multiple of a or belonging to the arithmetic progression a t + b , t 0 : = { 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. ...

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 -Cartier divisors of C 0 -type on an arithmetic surface. Namely an arithmetic -Cartier divisor D ¯ of C 0 -type is nef if and only if D ¯ is pseudo-effective and deg ^ ( D ¯ 2 ) = vol ^ ( D ¯ ) .

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 . 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 .

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 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...

Coprimality of integers in Piatetski-Shapiro sequences

Watcharapon Pimsert, Teerapat Srichan, Pinthira Tangsupphathawat (2023)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

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 c = { n c } n , c > 1 , c .

The Golomb space is topologically rigid

Taras O. Banakh, Dario Spirito, Sławomir Turek (2021)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

The Golomb space τ is the set of positive integers endowed with the topology τ generated by the base consisting of arithmetic progressions { a + b n : n 0 } with coprime a , b . We prove that the Golomb space τ is topologically rigid in the sense that its homeomorphism group is trivial. This resolves a problem posed by T. Banakh at Mathoverflow in 2017.

On a sum involving the integral part function

Bo Chen (2024)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let [ t ] be the integral part of a real number t , and let f be the arithmetic function satisfying some simple condition. We establish a new asymptotical formula for the sum S f ( x ) = n x f ( [ x / n ] ) , which improves the recent result of J. Stucky (2022).

General position properties in fiberwise geometric topology

Taras Banakh, Vesko Valov

Similarity:

General position properties play a crucial role in geometric and infinite-dimensional topologies. Often such properties provide convenient tools for establishing various universality results. One of well-known general position properties is DDⁿ, the property of disjoint n-cells. Each Polish L C n - 1 -space X possessing DDⁿ contains a topological copy of each n-dimensional compact metric space. This fact implies, in particular, the classical Lefschetz-Menger-Nöbeling-Pontryagin-Tolstova embedding...

A structure theorem for sets of small popular doubling

Przemysław Mazur (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We prove that every set A ⊂ ℤ satisfying x m i n ( 1 A * 1 A ( x ) , t ) ( 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 ( | ( A + A ) | k ) = Θ ( 2 - k / 2 ) .

On the uniqueness of periodic decomposition

Viktor Harangi (2011)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let a , . . . , a k be arbitrary nonzero real numbers. An ( a , . . . , a k ) -decomposition of a function f:ℝ → ℝ is a sum f + + f k = f where f i : is an a i -periodic function. Such a decomposition is not unique because there are several solutions of the equation h + + h k = 0 with h i : a i -periodic. We will give solutions of this equation with a certain simple structure (trivial solutions) and study whether there exist other solutions or not. If not, we say that the ( a , . . . , a k ) -decomposition is essentially unique. We characterize those periods for which essential...
